MD Total Wellness review
For moms in Orange County, MD Total Wellness is a rare in-person option: a physician-owned clinic in Brea where David Oliak, MD, a surgeon with more than 3,000 bariatric operations behind him, and Allison Mollet, PA-C, see you each month, adjust your dose and track fat and muscle with a body-composition scan. Compounded semaglutide is $299 a month and tirzepatide $399, the same at every dose, after a cheaper first month at $199 or $299, with the medication included and no contract. You can often start the same day after a free consultation, and HSA and FSA cards are accepted. The limit is geography: there is no telehealth GLP-1 option, so it only works if you can get to Brea every month. The same office also handles menopause care and pelvic-floor treatment.

Each score comes out of MD Total Wellness's published pricing, disclosures and oversight, and the six combine into the 70/100 Editors' Rating on our weighted six-factor framework. A commission never changes a provider's score.
Cost is unpredictable, premium, or hides behind a plan commitment.
Reasonable oversight, though some program details aren't fully public.
The core price is disclosed, but some conditions or add-ons aren't upfront.
Little here is shaped around a mother's week or her life stage.
Standard support — enough to stay on track, not high-touch.
Cancellation is workable but not frictionless.

What we like
- Face-to-face monthly visits with an MD or PA who has more than 20 years in weight care
- Published prices that stay the same at every dose, medication included
- No contract; pay month to month
- Free consultation, often with a same-day start
- Body-composition scans to watch muscle as well as weight
- Menopause care and pelvic-floor treatment in the same office
The caveats
- In person in Brea, California only; there is no telehealth GLP-1 option
- Tirzepatide at $399 a month is at the higher end for compounded
- Insurance is not accepted
- Extras such as hair and muscle treatments are priced separately
- Its general GLP-1 copy mentions retatrutide, a drug that is not FDA-approved, alongside the medications it actually prescribes
MD Total Wellness in short
The $199 you see first is an opening price; after that, MD Total Wellness charges about $299/month. Where it earns its score is clinical oversight. Where it loses ground is fit around family life.
What MD Total Wellness actually costs
- Compounded semaglutide: $199 to start, then $299/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide: $299 to start, then $399/mo
Most providers we've reviewed charge around $196/month, so you're paying a premium here. A full year at the regular rate comes to roughly $3,588. It charges one price at every dose — stepping up doesn't change the bill.
The price covers the clinician consult and the medication.
The medications MD Total Wellness prescribes
MD Total Wellness prescribes semaglutide and tirzepatide — the two GLP-1 medications with the strongest evidence. If insulin resistance is part of your story (PCOS, a history of gestational diabetes), tirzepatide is often the better fit, and you won't need a new provider to try it. Expect compounded medication, not Wegovy or Zepbound pens. That's why the price is lower, and also why the FDA hasn't approved the finished product.
Signing up with MD Total Wellness
It doesn't treat patients everywhere (In person in Brea, California only), so check your state first.

Is MD Total Wellness right for you?
A good fit if…
- You'd like the option to move to tirzepatide (or back) without changing providers.
Look elsewhere if…
- You'd only consider Wegovy or Zepbound themselves, not a compounded version.
- Budget is tight — it costs more than most of the providers we've reviewed.
- You live outside its service area (In person in Brea, California only).
- You'd like a prescriber to talk through pregnancy, breastfeeding or trying-to-conceive timing first — CoreAge Rx, a featured partner, is one to compare for that.
Safety and oversight
With any compounded GLP-1, ask which licensed pharmacy fills the prescription and what exactly is in the vial. Our Editors' Rating methodology explains how we score oversight.
Weight-loss treatment is not recommended during pregnancy. If you are breastfeeding or planning pregnancy, discuss the exact medicine, formulation and timing with your own clinician; limited milk-transfer data do not establish infant safety.
What to ask MD Total Wellness first
- What does the price become after the first month?
- What happens to my plan if I become pregnant?
The bottom line
MD Total Wellness costs more than most, so it has to earn the difference — its strongest card is clinical oversight. CoreAge Rx, a featured partner, is worth a side-by-side look before you decide.
The bottom line for mothers
Best for: An Orange County mom who would rather sit across from a doctor each month than message a portal, and who can make a monthly trip to Brea.

These are partners — we may be paid if you sign up through these links. The full list has every provider we cover, partner or not.
- Visit CoreAge RxCoreAge RxFeatured partner
The one program on our list whose number still makes sense at the top of the dose. A flat, all-in monthly price on both molecules, no teaser rate to expire, and a cancel button you can actually find — the closest thing to a family-budget guarantee we've reviewed.
- Visit Willow
A women's-health company by contract, not just by campaign — it names its pharmacies, names its physicians, and prints both prices before the quiz. Then the dose ladder disappears behind the intake and the refund policy changes depending which of its own pages you read.
- Visit Sprout Health
Flat pricing across dose escalations is a genuine virtue, and it sits under a landing page advertising a first-month rate as if it were the price, two brand-name drugs you cannot buy, and no mention of pregnancy anywhere. The FDA letter is about exactly that habit.

MD Total Wellness, answered
- Can I do MD Total Wellness online?
- No. Its GLP-1 program is in person at its office in Brea, California, and the clinic describes that as the point. If you can't get to Orange County each month, choose a telehealth program instead.
- What will I pay?
- Semaglutide is $199 for the first month and $299 a month after that; tirzepatide is $299 and then $399. Those prices cover the medication and your visits at every dose, with no contract. HSA and FSA cards work; insurance is not accepted.
- How fast can I start?
- The clinic offers a free consultation and says that, if you are a candidate, you can often start the same day, with medication dispensed from its office.
- Does it help with menopause too?
- Yes. The same office offers hormone therapy for perimenopause and menopause with a menopause-certified physician assistant, plus pelvic-floor treatment, so both can be handled in one place.
