Graded #81 · C
Strengths
- Clinical care provided by Open Loop Healthcare Partners, PC — a reused, verified MSO network
- Named leadership: Steven Bishop MD (CMO), Phillip Gray PharmD (Chief Pharmacist), Tom Foster (President)
- Itemized public pricing: compounded semaglutide $149/mo, tirzepatide $179/mo, Ozempic $1,299, Zepbound $1,399
- Both compounded and branded GLP-1s offered side by side — unusual for a compounded provider
- Self-pay model with no insurance required and no separate consultation fee
Where it loses points
- No public list of states served — you must complete intake to learn if your state qualifies
- No named 503A compounding pharmacy partner, limiting licensure verification
- No LegitScript, PCAB, or BBB trust badges visible
- Brand confusion: site schema names 'CatalystMD' while the customer-facing brand is Aquivia Health
- FDA has issued this company a warning letter; the letter is public in FDA's warning-letter database
Graded #227 · C
Strengths
- Compounded GLP-1 (semaglutide and tirzepatide) starting as low as $99/mo
- Names its compounding pharmacy partners (PerfectRx, The Pharmacy Hub, RX Compound Store) — uncommon transparency
- Free telehealth consult and free shipping; no membership or hidden fees
- Bi-weekly check-ins; operating since 2012
- Flexible monthly financing available at checkout
Where it loses points
- This is one physical clinic in Valdosta, Georgia, not a national telehealth service — nothing here is available to a reader outside Georgia
- The advertised 'as low as $99/month' is a semaglutide three-month starter pack ($299 paid up front), not a tirzepatide rate and not a monthly one
- Month-to-month rates are $199 semaglutide and $299 tirzepatide
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved finished products
