Graded #373 · C
Strengths
- Physician-led clinic with a named team — physicians, NPs and registered nurses
- Offers brand-name (Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, Mounjaro) and compounded options
- No upfront payment — you start with a registered nurse consult
- Microdosing GLP-1 approach available for longer-term use
Where it loses points
- Telehealth only in Louisiana and Texas — not nationwide
- No upfront pricing published; cost depends on the plan after consult
- Compounded options prescribed only when medically appropriate
- Broader aesthetic/clinic focus, not a GLP-1-only specialist
Graded #251 · C
Strengths
- Compounded semaglutide from $179 first month with free shipping, no membership, no contract, and no insurance required
- Genuinely all-inclusive: 1:1 physician guidance, free dietician visits and care coaching, 24/7 support, and an all-in-one patient portal
- Names its compounding pharmacies (RedRock Pharmacy, Beaker Pharmacy) — more transparent than most compounded sellers
- HSA/FSA eligible; full legal suite (Terms, Privacy, Privacy Practices, Refund, Medical Consent, California Bill of Rights)
Where it loses points
- $179 is a first-month/intro price — ongoing monthly cost is higher (tiers to ~$249-$299)
- Compounded semaglutide is not FDA-approved (the site discloses this) — not brand Wegovy or Ozempic
- Appears to offer compounded semaglutide only — tirzepatide is not advertised
- Displays a generic LegitScript Certified badge but no verifiable seal/listing; state-availability list not published
