Graded #157 · C
Strengths
- LegitScript certified and physician-led since 2008; one of the most established GLP-1 practices in the Southeast
- Compounded semaglutide from $40/week (~$160/month) and tirzepatide from $60/week (~$240/month) — well below brand-name cost
- Comprehensive program includes 1-on-1 wellness coaching, nutrition plans, hormone analysis, and a proprietary mobile app
- Medication shipped directly to patients’ homes within 3–5 business days; telehealth visits available
- Insurance accepted in many cases; affordable self-pay options for uninsured patients
Where it loses points
- Geographic reach unclear — physical clinics in NC only; telehealth states beyond NC unconfirmed despite 'from virtually anywhere' claim
- Pricing quoted per-week ($40 sema / $60 tirz) rather than per-month; higher-dose pricing not disclosed
- Must enroll in full medical weight-loss program to access GLP-1 medications — medication-only Rx not offered
- No explicit lab testing protocol published; online FAQ does not confirm labs are included
- Small regional provider vs. national platforms; limited provider footprint outside North Carolina

- Offers both injectable and oral semaglutide, dispensed by FDA-registered 503B pharmacies

Where it loses points
