AVArx

Graded #426 · C

Strengths

  • Publishes exactly which states require a live audio or video visit before a prescription, which almost no competitor discloses
  • Names its prescribing group, Arora Health & Aesthetics, and gives a medical compliance contact
  • Terms state service is available to residents of all 50 states, and the shipping policy matches
  • Dates its own editorial reviews on treatment pages
  • HSA/FSA accepted with receipts provided for reimbursement

Where it loses points

  • No price is published anywhere on the site, on treatment pages or in the intake, so you cannot compare before starting a visit
  • Never states whether its semaglutide and tirzepatide are compounded or brand-name
  • No dispensing pharmacy is named, only licensed pharmacies in our network
  • Cancellation terms are not published, only presented at checkout
  • Prescriptions cannot be returned once dispensed, and the refund policy is otherwise unstated
