The Index scorecard
Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center scored on our six Cost-Efficiency Index factors. See the methodology.
Where the value is
- Led by a board-certified physician/surgeon with 25+ years of experience per the practice's own materials
- Offers a broad GLP-1 menu — semaglutide, tirzepatide, and retatrutide — in both injectable and needle-free sublingual ODT form
- No long-term contracts; flexible weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly dosing cadence
- Retatrutide can be added to an existing regimen for a disclosed flat $100/month
The tradeoffs
- The advertised '$149 starting dose' is just that — a starting dose. The practice's own dedicated pricing page lists semaglutide 'Starting at $250/Month' and tirzepatide 'Starting at $325/month,' both well above the promotional figure
- Nationwide/all-50-states coverage could not be confirmed on the practice's own site; third-party directories describe it as a Central Maine practice
- Both pricing-page figures are themselves labeled 'Starting at,' implying further increases at higher doses that aren't published
- No compounding pharmacy is named
- No LegitScript certification found
The bottom line
Best for: Cost-first shoppers who want maine-based or Central-Maine patients wanting an experienced, board-certified physician offering sublingual ODT GLP-1 options. Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center is a Maine-based medical weight-loss practice (physical locations in Oakland, Augusta, and Bangor/Brewer, ME) led by a board-certified physician with 25+ years of experience.
