Who it suits

Good fit if

  • You live near Brea and would rather see the same prescriber face to face each month.
  • You want to leave the first visit with medication in hand, since the clinic dispenses on site.
  • You like the idea of body composition scans to see how much of the loss is fat.

Look elsewhere if

  • You live outside Orange County or want your vials shipped to your door.
  • You hope to bill insurance, because the clinic takes HSA and FSA cards but not insurance plans.

What you get

Tirzepatide is the clinic's most popular option. MD Total Wellness lists it at a reduced price for the first month on the starting dose, then $399 a month at any dose after that. The fee includes the compounded medication and ongoing care. There's no contract, and you pay month by month.

The vials are compounded medication that the clinic says comes from vetted, licensed U.S. pharmacies. It dispenses them from its own office on Central Avenue in Brea. Each month you meet with Dr. Oliak, whose background is bariatric surgery, or PA Mollet to adjust the dose and talk through food and habits. Progress is tracked with a 3D infrared body composition scan.

How it works

  1. Book a free consultation at the Brea office. It's a full weight loss workup with Dr. Oliak or PA Mollet.
  2. If you're a candidate, you can usually start tirzepatide that same day and take the first vial home.
  3. Come back monthly. The provider adjusts your dose to balance appetite control against side effects like nausea.
  4. Pay for each month as you go. There's no contract to sign and no set program length.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Every monthly visit is with Dr. Oliak or PA Mollet, who the clinic says have more than 20 years in weight loss.
  • Tirzepatide is dispensed in the Brea office, so a qualifying patient can start on the day of the consult.
  • A 3D infrared body composition scan tracks fat mass and muscle mass, not just the number on the scale.

Cons

  • Treatment is in person only at the Brea office, with no telehealth or shipping option.
  • At $399 a month for tirzepatide, MD Total Wellness costs more than many online sellers.
  • The clinic doesn't name the compounding pharmacy behind its tirzepatide anywhere on its GLP-1 page.
