Bradly C.★★★★★2026-06-10Excellent care and explanation from doctors and nurses. Life changing for my wife first doctor in Fairbanks that listened and cared for our health.
Jay W.★★★★★2025-05-16Friendly, professional staff, small clinic feel, quick and easy to get an appointment when needed. My family and I have seen NP Vinger for over 5 years and we are consistently impressed with her expertise and willingness to really listen and involve us in our health care decisions. She provides respectful, compassionate care, which is becoming more rare in this era of institutionalized medicine.
Crysteen P.★★★★★2025-03-26If I could give negative stars, I definitely would! I went to an appointment with P.A. Howe for severe hives/itching, only to have him tell me to take more Zyrtec and switch to free and clear laundry detergent! No testing or labs or anything!!! And if that wasn’t insulting enough, they charged me 500.00 for that one 20 minute office visit with a P.A., not even a doctor!!! This place is a ridiculous scam!!!
Charlene S.★★★★★2025-01-29I usually goto Teal Vingar but, everyone there is super professional and nice! They're never made me feel like a bother and always listen to my concerns, which is saying alot because I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and there's always something going wrong with my body. I highly recommend Gold Star Clinic and all the medical professionals that work there!
Carrie W.★★★★★2024-07-29PA Conley is amazing as well as the other providers and staff 💗! I saw PA Conley at another clinic and followed her here. She actually listens with helping you the best way possible and follows thru for answers. The staff at the front desk is always smiling and just as helpful. When I call they give me all the information they can. The clinic has a portal you can even send a message and even other providers read them and help on her days off! Highly recommend. Well organized clinic who all want to help patients!

Retatrutide is Eli Lilly's investigational once-weekly triple agonist (GIP, GLP-1 and glucagon receptors). Five Phase 3 trials have reported positive results, and Lilly plans to submit it to the FDA in Q1 2027. It is not FDA-approved, has no brand name or price, and cannot be prescribed outside clinical trials or Lilly's physician-requested expanded access program. Products sold online as "research" or compounded retatrutide are not legitimate retatrutide.
- Development
- Phase 3 complete
- FDA status
- Submission planned — Q1 2027 (Lilly guidance)
- Availability
- Not commercially available
- Access routes
- Clinical trials, or Lilly's expanded access program (physician must apply)
Next milestone: TRIUMPH-5 head-to-head vs tirzepatide results (Expected ~Dec 2026)
