AskRx vs MD Trim Clinic
The verdict
MD Trim Clinic takes it — 56.1/100 to 55.8/100, but only just.
MD Trim Clinic grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. MD Trim Clinic is a small physician-led practice in Phoenix, AZ and Novato, CA offering compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide via telehealth and in-person visits. AskRx is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.

Where it loses points

Graded #422 · C
Strengths
- Physician DO + NP team (Dr. Brandon Shaw, D.O. and Andrea Farris, N.P.) provides strong clinical oversight

- Both telehealth and in-person options available (AZ Phoenix and CA Novato offices)
- Partnered mobile IV services available for enhanced nausea management and hydration support
Where it loses points

- No LegitScript certification for the clinic itself (only pharmacy partners are LegitScript-certified)
- Small practice with limited online presence and no published patient reviews or outcomes data
- No labs, coaching, or monitoring protocols disclosed on the site
