Visit Dr. Gillis' Wellness CenterThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center on the Mom-Tested Score, 94 to 41 (A vs C). Moms who want a flat, no-teaser price, both molecules available, and a signup you can genuinely finish while the baby sleeps — without a phone-tag scheduling loop.
Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center is still a genuine option — i liked this one until I got to the pricing page. A clinic you can actually drive to in Oakland, Maine. A named doctor. Free consultations every Wednesday afternoon, no contracts. And then: "Add Retatrutide to your current Semaglutide or Tirzepatide regimen for just $100/month." Retatrutide is not approved by the FDA for anything at all. It is still in trials. And they are selling it as something you add on top of what you are already taking. Weigh the six mom factors below against your own priorities.

CoreAge Rx
Ranked #1 · Grade A
What we like
- Async intake — no live video visit to schedule around nap time; you reach a real price without booking a call first
- Flat monthly price with no first-month teaser that jumps at refill — the number on screen is the number every month
- Both semaglutide and tirzepatide on one account, so you're not locked to one molecule
The caveats
- Not the rock-bottom sticker — a couple of budget brands undercut it if price is your only lever
- Compounded only — no FDA-approved brand (Wegovy/Zepbound) if you specifically want the name brand
- It's a general metabolic program, not a hormone or PCOS specialty clinic
Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center
Ranked #289 · Grade C
What we like
- A real clinic with an address, a phone number and a doctor you can name
- Free consultations every Wednesday from 1 to 6, and no contract
- It prices the injection, the oral version and tirzepatide separately, so you know what you are looking at
The caveats
- ⛔ It sells retatrutide, which the FDA has not approved for anything, as a $100 add-on to a GLP-1 you are already on
- There are no legal pages at all — no terms, no privacy policy, no telehealth consent. I tried twenty-one paths
- It is one clinic in Central Maine, so this is only an option if you can get there
