Graded #378 · C
Strengths
- Real, named local clinic in Houston with hands-on provider support, in-person visits and Google-reviewed patient experiences
- Low entry pricing — semaglutide from $170 and tirzepatide from $200 in month 1, with 3-month bundles ($500 / $600) that cut the effective monthly cost
- Packages include ongoing provider support, supplies and delivery
- Also offers IV hydration and NAD+ if you want broader wellness services in one place
Where it loses points
- Houston/Texas only — no nationwide telehealth, so it is not an option outside the local area
- Dose-escalating pricing climbs steeply (semaglutide reaches $330 by month 5; tirzepatide $425 by month 6)
- Compounding pharmacy is not named, and there is no LegitScript or published clinical-oversight detail
- Small single-location operation with no patient portal — booking and support run through Calendly and direct contact
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide only — no brand-name or oral options
Graded #151 · C
Strengths
- Spanish-first, fully bilingual GLP-1 program tailored to Latino food and lifestyle - a genuinely underserved niche
- Compounded semaglutide, tirzepatide, and oral semaglutide from $199/mo, with installment pay (Klarna, Afterpay, Affirm)
- Free initial consultation; medications shipped discreetly to your door after a medical evaluation
- Includes 24/7 support, 4 virtual visits a year, and ongoing nutrition coaching
- Physician-supervised program (Utah medical backing) with continuous follow-up
Where it loses points
- Utah-based, and the full list of states served is not published
- Only a '$199/mo starting' price is shown upfront; tirzepatide and oral-semaglutide pricing isn't published
- The compounding pharmacy is not named (a 'provider pharmacies' page exists but lists no name)
- Compounded GLP-1 medications are not FDA-approved - not brand Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, or Mounjaro
- No LegitScript certification displayed
