Separate the clinical program from the investigational offer
MDTW advertises office-based semaglutide and tirzepatide treatment in Brea, California. The same page also sells a retatrutide option described as a research peptide. Those offers should not be treated as interchangeable, and this profile does not recommend enrollment.
What FDA says about retatrutide
FDA’s current guidance states that retatrutide cannot be used in compounding under federal law. It is not a component of an FDA-approved drug and has not been found safe and effective for any condition. A clinic’s research-peptide label does not establish an FDA-approved treatment or participation in an authorized clinical trial.
This is general FDA guidance relevant to the product advertised, not an FDA warning letter addressed to MDTW. The sources reviewed do not establish the clinic’s individual regulatory status or adjudicate its conduct.
Price and local follow-up
The clinic lists semaglutide at $199 for the first month’s starting dose, then $299 monthly; tirzepatide is $299 initially, then $399. It describes those ongoing prices as covering all doses. The program includes medication, monthly MD/PA appointments, in-office lab testing, nutrition guidance and body-composition tracking. Confirm which labs are included and any additional charges before paying.
This model requires assessing the practicalities of office visits, not simply comparing a mail-order subscription price. MDTW names David Oliak, MD, and Allison Mollet, PA-C, as its providers. Their identification on the practice website is not an independent credential or quality verification.
Questions the advertised package leaves open
The site describes pay-as-you-go care without a contract and same-day office dispensing when appropriate. It does not identify an assigned compounding pharmacy or establish a refund formula in the reviewed offer. Ask for the exact prescription and dispensing source, and written cancellation terms. Claims about brand-drug trial results do not prove identical outcomes for the compound you would receive.
What stands out
- Publishes introductory and ongoing semaglutide/tirzepatide prices
- Names clinicians and describes in-person follow-up
What to check
- Markets retatrutide despite the distinct FDA compounding restriction
- Local office visits; pharmacy assignment and refund details unresolved
Sources and review scope
Public information checked in October 2026. Prices and eligibility can change. We have not enrolled in treatment, independently tested medications or verified the licenses of the clinicians and pharmacies involved in an individual prescription. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved; studies of approved brands do not establish that a compounded product has the same safety or effectiveness.
