Graded #427 · 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
Graded #89 · C
Strengths
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide as both injections and oral options, starting around $149/mo (sema) and $199/mo (tirz)
- Bundles dietitians, live workouts, support groups and mental-health coaching with the medication, not just a prescription
- Insurance concierge to maximize coverage, FSA/HSA eligible, with multi-month plans that cut the price further
- Large, established program (115,000+ members, Trustpilot 4.7) available nationwide
Where it loses points
- Uses partner compounding pharmacies it doesn't name on the site
- Headline prices are Spring-sale rates — everyday cost is higher and the deepest discounts need a 6-month commitment
- Weight loss is one of several verticals (ED, longevity, sleep, hair, skin), not a single focus
- Some bundled perks (e.g. meal prep) are paid add-ons rather than included
