Graded #96 · C
Strengths
- Prescribes FDA-approved branded GLP-1s (Wegovy, Zepbound)
- Accepts insurance with self-pay option from $149/month
- Women's-health and PCOS specialization with hormonal/metabolic testing
- Board-certified physicians, OB-GYNs, endocrinologists, plus dietitians
- Oral alternatives (Metformin, Contrave, Topiramate) available
Where it loses points
- Membership covers visits; GLP-1 medication coverage depends on your plan
- Not available in all states for medical care
- Focused on women's health, not a general GLP-1 provider
- Out-of-pocket branded GLP-1 cost can be high if not insurance-covered
Graded #170 · C
Strengths
- LegitScript certified and physician-led since 2008; one of the most established GLP-1 practices in the Southeast
- Compounded semaglutide from $40/week (~$160/month) and tirzepatide from $60/week (~$240/month) — well below brand-name cost
- Comprehensive program includes 1-on-1 wellness coaching, nutrition plans, hormone analysis, and a proprietary mobile app
- Medication shipped directly to patients’ homes within 3–5 business days; telehealth visits available
- Insurance accepted in many cases; affordable self-pay options for uninsured patients
Where it loses points
- Geographic reach unclear — physical clinics in NC only; telehealth states beyond NC unconfirmed despite 'from virtually anywhere' claim
- Pricing quoted per-week ($40 sema / $60 tirz) rather than per-month; higher-dose pricing not disclosed
- Must enroll in full medical weight-loss program to access GLP-1 medications — medication-only Rx not offered
- No explicit lab testing protocol published; online FAQ does not confirm labs are included
- Small regional provider vs. national platforms; limited provider footprint outside North Carolina
