Potere Health MD Review

A Utah-only clinic that trades national reach for a real local doctor

Potere Health MD is not a coast-to-coast app that mails you a starter pen and a chatbot. It is a small, physician-led weight-loss practice rooted in Utah, with clinics in St. George, Salt Lake City, and Cedar City. It also offers telehealth for patients located anywhere in the state. The trade-off is blunt: if you live in Utah, you get a named MD and fast, in-person access; if you live anywhere else, this provider is not an option.

How the pricing actually works: priced per vial, no subscription

Most GLP-1 telehealth brands lock you into an auto-renewing membership, but Potere does the opposite and prices by the vial. Compounded semaglutide is $239.99 upfront for a 10 mg vial, and compounded tirzepatide is $350 upfront for a 60 mg vial. At starter doses, each vial lasts about 12 weeks. That works out to about $87 a month for semaglutide and $127 for tirzepatide, well under the category median of $179.

How we get the category median: $179 is the middle value of the cheapest ongoing monthly price (not a first-month promo) at each of the 508 GLP-1 providers we track.

Refills get cheaper: semaglutide drops to $219.99 for the second fill and $199.99 after that. Tirzepatide holds at $350 for the second fill, then falls to $299. Each fill's price covers physician care, supplies, and the medication when prescribed.

There are two honest caveats. First, because you pay for the amount of medication you use, your monthly cost climbs as your dose goes up. The clinic does publish a dose-by-dose cost table, which is more than most. Second, the site lists the tirzepatide first fill at $350 on its pricing card but a higher figure in its pricing FAQ, so confirm your exact price during the free consult before you commit.

Both compounded and FDA-approved versions on the menu

Potere offers semaglutide and tirzepatide as customized compounded versions, and can also prescribe the FDA-approved brand drugs. The low prices apply to the compounded route, and brand-name prices aren't posted, since they depend on manufacturers, pharmacies, and your insurance plan. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved, which is the standard trade for affordability across this industry, but it's worth understanding.

• Compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide — the lower-cost path, priced per vial, not FDA-approved
• FDA-approved semaglutide or tirzepatide — the branded option, priced through your pharmacy or plan
• Both dispensed with a prescription after a physician visit, not sold over the counter

The real differentiator: a named physician and documented sourcing

What sets this clinic apart is who is behind it and how the medication is sourced. Care is led by Dr. Joshua Silva, MD, a real, named physician rather than an anonymous prescriber queue. On the supply side, Potere uses licensed U.S. pharmacies, including LegitScript-certified partners. It also points to third-party Certificate of Analysis (COA) testing on its compounded product. For compounded GLP-1s, where quality varies widely between pharmacies, that COA paper trail is a meaningful signal.

Scheduling is the other quiet advantage: the first consult is free, same-day appointments are available, and you book through a simple online calendar. You can meet Dr. Silva by video or in person, then pick up medication locally or have it shipped.

Who should choose Potere — and who should skip it

Choose it if you live in Utah, want a low monthly cost without a subscription, and value seeing an actual doctor instead of texting a platform. The mix of price, no-commitment billing, and in-person access is hard to beat locally.

Skip it if you live outside Utah, because you cannot enroll. Also reconsider if you want only the FDA-approved branded drug at a posted price, since the headline savings come from the compounded route.

• Best for: Utah residents wanting affordable, physician-led GLP-1 care with no subscription
• Not for: anyone outside Utah, or anyone who wants one fixed monthly price at every dose
• Worth a call if: you want a free consult and same-day access before deciding

Trust and safety: solid signals, normal compounding caveat

Potere carries no FDA warning letters on file, and it names its supervising physician, works with LegitScript-certified pharmacy partners, and backs its compounded products with third-party COA testing. Those are above-average trust markers at this price point. One gap is that no refund or cancellation terms are posted. The universal caution also applies: compounded medications are not FDA-approved, so you rely on the pharmacy's quality controls. See our scoring methodology for how we weigh these factors.

Bottom line

Potere Health MD is a focused, local answer to a national problem, though it will never serve most readers because it is Utah-only. For Utahns, though, it delivers a rare mix: a named physician, low starter-dose costs, cheaper refills, no subscription, and documented sourcing. If you're in the state and price plus a real doctor matter most, book the free consult. Just confirm your dose pricing before you sign on.
