The Chandler office opened in 2012, and the Tutera Medical organization has been operating for more than 20 years, with the SottoPelle hormone therapy system having a history spanning more than 30 years.

Background and History

Tutera Medical was co-founded by Dr. Gino Tutera, a board-certified OB/GYN known for his work in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy.

Dr. Tutera developed SottoPelle Hormone Therapy, a proprietary hormone pellet therapy system designed to deliver customized hormone treatment through implanted pellets.

Dr. Gino Tutera passed away in 2015, after which his wife CarolAnn Tutera continued to oversee Tutera Medical and the SottoPelle system.

The clinic has continued providing hormone therapy and wellness services across multiple Arizona locations.

Pricing and Value Signals

Tutera Medical does not publicly list detailed pricing for most services.

GLP-1 Weight Loss Treatments

Exact pricing for semaglutide and other GLP-1 medications is not provided on the clinic’s website.

A promotional offer advertised includes 15 percent off GLP-1 treatments when booked with certain providers.

General market prices for brand-name semaglutide medications may range approximately $998 to $1,865 per month without insurance.

Compounded semaglutide options reported elsewhere may range approximately $129 to $497 per month, although these products may not be FDA approved.

Some reports suggest introductory pricing as low as $149 to $199 per month for new patients, increasing later.

Hormone Therapy Programs

Hormone therapy packages may include:

• Initial consultation

• Hormone testing

• Customized pellet therapy

• Follow-up visits

Insurance coverage details are not publicly listed.

Risks, Gaps, and Verification Notes

Semaglutide and other GLP-1 medications may cause side effects such as nausea and gastrointestinal discomfort. Some providers combine treatment with Vitamin B12 to help manage these effects.

It is unclear whether Tutera Medical uses brand-name semaglutide medications or compounded formulations. Compounded semaglutide products have been subject to safety warnings and regulatory changes.

Routine hormone testing for menopause treatment remains debated among medical experts, with some guidelines emphasizing symptom-based diagnosis rather than laboratory testing alone.

Detailed information regarding treatment pricing, insurance participation, and full staff credentials is limited in publicly available materials.

The exact founding date of Tutera Medical is not publicly documented, although the Chandler office is known to have opened in 2012.

Patient outcomes may vary depending on individual health conditions and treatment plans.
