Graded #386 · 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 #276 · C
Strengths
- LegitScript-certified (seal ID 49966407); 503A-licensed compounding pharmacies
- All-inclusive from $169/mo annual — physician eval + Rx + medication + shipping, no hidden fees
- Broadest formulation menu: injectable sema/tirz, oral dissolvable tablets, sema+naltrexone, microdose combos
- 24/7 care team messaging + regular check-ins + dosage adjustments included at every tier
- 48 states + DC coverage (excludes only AK + MS); no insurance required; cancel anytime
Where it loses points
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved; no pharmacy partner named publicly
- Monthly billing costs more — $199/mo (monthly) vs $169/mo (annual) for semaglutide injectable; best rate requires annual prepay
- Labs not included in any plan
- Founder disclosed by first name only (Ahmed); no physician names or clinical leadership disclosed publicly
- Tirzepatide injectable at $249/mo (monthly billing) is above the compounded market average
