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 #318 · C
Strengths
- Both semaglutide and tirzepatide offered
- Three formulations: injectable, sublingual, and tablet
- Upfront pricing with no hidden fees advertised
- Semaglutide starts at a low $266/month
- Telehealth call with a licensed provider before prescribing
Where it loses points
- Compounded-only; no FDA-approved branded options
- No published state availability list
- Platform is technology only, not a healthcare provider itself
- Provider credentials not detailed on site
