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 brick-and-mortar clinics in St. George, Salt Lake City, and Cedar City, plus telehealth and statewide delivery 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 simply is not an option. For the right person, that focus is the whole appeal.

How the pricing actually works: no subscription, pay for what you use

Most GLP-1 telehealth brands lock you into an auto-renewing membership. Potere deliberately does the opposite — there is no subscription and no recurring lock-in. Compounded semaglutide starts at about $80 a month and compounded tirzepatide starts higher, in the mid-three-figures-per-month range, with the medication and the visit bundled in. That starting figure undercuts the category median of $170 by a wide margin, which is the single most concrete reason a budget-minded Utahn would look here.

One honest caveat: the public pages show pricing as a starting range rather than a full per-dose ladder. You see where it begins, not necessarily what you will pay once your dose climbs. Treat the starting number as a floor and confirm your specific dose during the free consult before you commit.

Both compounded and FDA-approved versions on the menu

Potere offers semaglutide and tirzepatide in two forms: the brand-equivalent FDA-approved medications and customized compounded versions. The low starting prices apply to the compounded route, and there is an important asterisk on that — compounded medications are not FDA-approved. That is the standard trade for affordability across this entire industry, but it is worth understanding rather than glossing over.

• Compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide — the lower-cost path, not FDA-approved, made by a compounding pharmacy
• FDA-approved semaglutide or tirzepatide — the branded option for patients who want the regulated product
• Both dispensed with a prescription after a physician visit, not sold over the counter

The real differentiator: a named physician and verified sourcing

What sets this clinic apart from the faceless telehealth crowd is who is behind it and how the medication is sourced. Care is led by Dr. Joshua Silva, MD — a real, named physician providing oversight, not an anonymous prescriber queue or automated message thread. On the supply side, Potere leans on a LegitScript-certified pharmacy and publishes third-party Certificate of Analysis (COA) verification on its compounded product. For compounded GLP-1s, where quality varies enormously between pharmacies, that COA paper trail is a genuinely meaningful signal of seriousness.

Scheduling is the other quiet advantage. Same-day or next-day appointments and a free initial consult mean you are not waiting a week to be seen, and Utah patients can choose clinic pickup or discreet statewide delivery.

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 being able to sit across from an actual doctor (or at least be overseen by a named one) instead of texting a platform. The combination of price, no-commitment billing, and in-person access is hard to beat locally.

Skip it if you live outside Utah — full stop, you cannot enroll. Also reconsider if you specifically want only the FDA-approved branded medication at a guaranteed price, since the headline savings come from the compounded route and the public pages do not lay out a complete dose-by-dose price list.

• Best for: Utah residents wanting affordable, physician-led GLP-1 care with no subscription
• Not for: anyone outside Utah, or anyone who needs a fully published per-dose price ladder up front
• Worth a call if: you want a free consult and same- or next-day access before deciding

Trust and safety: solid signals, normal compounding caveat

On our verification, Potere carries no FDA warning letters on file, names its supervising physician, uses a LegitScript-certified pharmacy, and backs its compounded products with third-party COA testing. Those are above-average trust markers for a clinic at this price point. The only standing caution is the universal one for affordable GLP-1s: compounded medications are not FDA-approved, so you are relying on the pharmacy's quality controls — which is exactly why the COA verification matters here. See our scoring methodology for how we weigh these factors.

Bottom line

Potere Health MD is a focused, local answer to a national problem. It will never serve most readers because it is Utah-only, but for Utahns it delivers a rare mix: a named physician, low starting prices well under the category median, no subscription trap, fast scheduling, and verifiable sourcing. If you are in the state and price plus a real doctor matter more than nationwide brand recognition, it is an easy clinic to recommend a free consult with — just confirm your exact dose pricing before you sign on.
