Graded #95 · 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 #399 · C
Strengths
- Prescribes real brand-name GLP-1 (e.g. Ozempic/Wegovy), not compounded — appealing if you specifically want FDA-approved branded medication
- Simple $120 telehealth evaluation with a licensed doctor; no insurance hassle and no prior authorization
- You fill the prescription at your own regular pharmacy rather than waiting on a mail-order compounding pharmacy
- Also a general telehealth clinic (urgent care, chronic-condition management) if you want broader care
Where it loses points
- Only Texas and North Carolina are confirmed — not available nationwide
- The $120 is an evaluation fee; the brand-name medication is billed separately at your pharmacy and can be expensive without insurance
- Small practice (about 500 patients) with limited public detail on its clinicians and program
- No compounded or lower-cost medication option, and no medication pricing is published
