Potere Health MD review

What it is

Potere Health MD is a physician-led weight-loss clinic based at 1490 Foremaster Drive in St. George, Utah, with additional offices in Cedar City and on Holladay Boulevard in Salt Lake City. Telehealth visits are available anywhere in Utah, and the St. George office also sees patients from nearby communities such as Hurricane and Mesquite, Nevada. Its medical director is Dr. Joshua Silva, MD, who trained in occupational and environmental medicine at the University of Utah, has more than a decade of clinical experience and speaks Spanish. The clinic prescribes compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide and, when you prefer, brand-name Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound or Mounjaro. It says it is a medical clinic, not a pharmacy, and that it works with LegitScript-certified pharmacy partners, though it doesn't display a seal number for the clinic itself.

How it works

You start by booking a free consultation with Dr. Silva, either at one of the three offices or by video, to talk through your goals and whether a GLP-1 makes sense. If it does, you complete a short intake, the medication is prescribed, and you can pick it up locally or have it delivered; in the Salt Lake City area, patients seen before 2 p.m. Monday through Thursday can often get next-day delivery. Same-day appointments are available. The same doctor follows you throughout, adjusting your dose, managing side effects and helping with nutrition and maintenance, and microdosing or twice-weekly dosing is offered when it fits. Baseline lab work isn't required to start, though labs can be ordered on request. If you're already on a GLP-1 elsewhere, Dr. Silva will continue you at a comparable dose rather than restarting at the lowest one.

Pricing transparency

There's no membership or subscription. Each fill includes the physician care, treatment management, injection supplies and the medication. Compounded semaglutide comes as a 10 mg supply: $239.99 for the first fill, $219.99 for the second and $199.99 for the third and later fills. Compounded tirzepatide comes as a 60 mg supply: $399.99 for the first fill, $299 for the third and later fills, and $350 for the second on the pricing table (one FAQ answer says $375, so confirm it). At standard starting doses a first fill lasts about 12 weeks, which the clinic presents as roughly $80 a month for semaglutide and $135 for tirzepatide. Higher doses use the vial faster: at refill prices, by the clinic's own math, semaglutide at 2.5 mg a week works out to about $199 a month and tirzepatide at 10 mg to about $200. Brand-name drugs are priced by the pharmacy and your insurance, separately from the clinic. No cancellation or refund terms are published.

Branded vs compounded

Potere prescribes compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, prepared by licensed U.S. compounding pharmacies after an individual evaluation, and says it requires semaglutide base rather than the salt forms the FDA has warned about. Its current certificates of analysis name Kaduceus Pharmacy and show a tirzepatide 20 mg/mL formulation with glycine and a semaglutide 5 mg/mL formulation with vitamin B12, each with its lot number, test date and potency result, so you can match the lot on your vial. Compounded versions may include added ingredients such as B12, glycine, L-carnitine or NAD⁺, and the clinic says it always tells you what's in yours. Its own disclosures are unusually frank: compounded drugs are not FDA-approved, aren't generic versions of the brands, and lack the brands' trial evidence. You can ask for brand-name Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound or Mounjaro at any point in treatment. A search of the FDA warning-letter database under the Potere name and its doctor returned no letters.

Pros and watch-outs

The evidence behind what Potere Health MD prescribes

We grade the molecules, not the marketing. Here is what the human data actually shows for each thing on their menu.

• What the semaglutide weight-loss trials actually showed

  STEP 1, STEP 4, and SELECT — the efficacy, the rebound, and the cardiovascular signal, read straight from the primary literature.

• Tirzepatide vs semaglutide for weight loss: what the trials actually support

  Most comparisons are cross-trial. Only SURPASS-2 and SURMOUNT-5 randomized one drug against the other — here's the precise distinction.

• Compounded vs branded GLP-1: regulatory status, sourcing and the evidence

  Compounded GLP-1 isn't FDA-approved, the shortage exception behind it ended in 2025, the FDA moved against mass-marketed copies in 2026, and the trial data belong to the branded product. Here's the precise picture.
