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 #450 · C
Strengths
- Publishes the FDA compounded-medication disclaimer
- Oral and injection protocols for both semaglutide and tirzepatide
- Claims 50-state coverage via a clinician network
- Clearly differentiated positioning (longevity, men's health, performance)
Where it loses points
- Pricing not shown until after sign-up
- Pharmacy partner not named (only 'U.S.-based pharmacy')
- LegitScript certification status not visible
- No named medical director
- 503A vs 503B designation not specified
