Provider review
Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center review
Quotes a starting dose as its own price, and lists retatrutide.
Pricing a starting dose separately is the structure that charges you for what you take; retatrutide is unapproved in any form.

In one paragraph
The verdict
This is a clinic with a named physician rather than a telehealth funnel, and it reads like one. Prices are floors, the page invites a phone call, and the catalog is broad in the way a compounding-friendly practice is broad rather than the way a subscription storefront is. Two things make it worth a low-dose reader's time. It quotes a starting dose as its own line item, which is the structure that bills you for what you actually take rather than for a plan, and it publishes a monthly plan floor beside it so the two can at least be set against each other. The caution applies to both figures equally: a number introduced by starting at is the cheapest rung, not the price at a working dose, and here the rungs above it are not published at all — the page asks you to call. One more thing belongs in any decision about this clinic, and it is not a price. The catalog lists retatrutide. That molecule has no FDA approval in any form, anywhere, and its presence in a catalog is something to weigh rather than a feature to be sold on.
Microdosing is off-label and unproven — decide with a clinician. Prices are as published by the provider when we last checked; confirm current terms before you buy.
Who it suits, and who it does not
A good fit if
- You want a starting dose priced as its own thing rather than folded into a plan
- You would rather deal with a named physician at a physical clinic than a funnel
- You are willing to call for pricing detail the site does not publish
Look elsewhere if
- You want a published price at a working dose. Only floors appear
- You want every product in the catalog to be an approved or established one
- You want to compare online without speaking to anyone
What it actually costs
Price as published
A starting-dose price is quoted apart from the plan, which is unusual and directly useful to anyone holding a low dose: "$150 Starting Dose of Semaglutide" · sublingual and oral GLP-1 therapies are "Available Starting at $149", and "Monthly treatment plans start at $149 per month" · both of those are floors — "starting at" and "start at" — so neither is the price at a working dose, and the page directs a reader to contact the office rather than publishing a ladder · ★ the catalog names three molecules, semaglutide, tirzepatide AND RETATRUTIDE, which is investigational and unapproved in any form · low-dose naltrexone and topiramate are also offered · no milligram is published against any figure
- Vs median
- $20/mo below the $169 median across the 242 of 373 programs we track that publish a plain monthly rate
- Market
- $59–$1300/mo is the full published spread in our ranking
- Structure
- Quotes off the lowest dose
States plainly that its advertised figures are based on the lowest dosage and that higher doses may cost more. On a general ranking that is a warning; for someone staying small it is the one model that bills accordingly.
36 of the 373 programs we track price a small dose this way. ★ A starting dose is quoted as its own line item rather than folded into a plan, which is the structure that charges a reader for what they actually take and the one this page is looking for. Every figure on the site is a floor — introduced by starting at — and the rungs above are not published anywhere; the page asks a reader to call the office. The catalog also names retatrutide, which is investigational and unapproved in any form, and that is a fact to weigh rather than a feature.

How the program works
This is a clinic with a named physician rather than a telehealth funnel, and it reads like one: prices are floors, the page invites a phone call, and the catalog is broad in the way a compounding-friendly practice is broad rather than the way a subscription storefront is. Two things make it worth a low-dose reader's time. It quotes a starting dose as its own line item, which is the structure that bills you for what you actually take, and it publishes a monthly plan floor beside it so the two can at least be set against each other. The caution is the same one that applies to every floor on this page: a figure introduced by starting at is the cheapest rung and not the price at a working dose, and here the rungs above it are not published at all. Separately, and importantly, this clinic lists retatrutide. That molecule has no FDA approval in any form, and its presence in a catalog is a fact a reader should weigh rather than a feature to be sold on.
The honest cons
Both published figures are floors, and the rungs above them are not published.
- Lists retatrutide, which is investigational and has no FDA approval in any form.
- No milligram appears against any figure; pricing detail requires calling the office.

How it compares
Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center is one of 373 low-dose GLP-1 programs we track, and 242 of them publish a monthly rate you can read before signing up. The ranking lists every published price on one screen, ordered with the companies that pay us first — a mechanism we state there, on the page it applies to.

Intentional GLP-1 microdosing is off-label and unproven — no randomized trial has established that a sub-label dose does anything, and any dose belongs with a clinician who knows your history. If you are going to have that conversation, have it with real numbers.
