Graded #425 · C
Strengths
- Whole-person virtual primary care that includes a medical weight loss program
- Staffed by licensed MDs, DOs, NPs and PAs
- Integrates weight loss with primary, mental health and diabetes care
- Clear state availability (Georgia and Texas)
Where it loses points
- Available only in Georgia and Texas
- Specific GLP-1 medications and branded-vs-compounded status not published
- No pricing disclosed on public pages
- Weight loss is one service among many, not a dedicated GLP-1 specialist
Graded #305 · C
Strengths
- Full price list published openly, by medication and by commitment length, with no intake required
- Offers both compounded and brand-name Ozempic and Zepbound in one place
- Oral semaglutide tablets available as well as injections
- Full refund if a provider disqualifies you before medication is ordered
- LegitScript certification verified against the issued seal, not just the badge
Where it loses points
- Billed per 4 weeks, not per month, which is 13 charges a year rather than 12
- You are charged for the first period as soon as you complete the intake form, before a clinician has reviewed you
- Refunds stop once medication is ordered, and for new patients with no video visit that is at intake submission
- Cancellation needs 72 hours notice before the billing date or you are charged for another cycle
- Bundle refunds are recalculated at the standard non-bundled rate, so the multi-month discount is clawed back
