The verdict

DoctorAdam takes it — 75.7/100 to 74/100, but only just.

DoctorAdam grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. DoctorAdam is a Shopify-based telehealth platform offering compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide in both injection and oral tablet forms, with flat all-in monthly pricing covering physician evaluation,… NuvaHealth is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.

We may earn a commission if you start care through some of these links, at no extra cost to you. It never moves the WeighScore, which is the weighted average of the six factors shown for every provider, and what we write about a provider is the same either way. See our disclosure.

NuvaHealth

Graded #68 · C

Strengths

  • LegitScript Certified seal displayed on the marketing site (the standard third-party telehealth/pharmacy accreditation)
  • Free and fast delivery + 24/7 patient support disclosed on the home page
  • Newark, DE address suggests a US-incorporated entity (vs offshore)
  • $139 first-month price for compounded semaglutide injection is among the cheapest in the US compounded telehealth market
  • $229 first-month price for compounded tirzepatide injection sits in the lower-median range

Where it loses points

  • Specific legal entity name + state of incorporation NOT publicly disclosed on the home page — material YMYL transparency gap
  • Pharmacy partners NOT publicly named — material YMYL transparency gap
  • Per-state availability NOT enumerated; verify your state ships before purchase
