Graded #108 · C
Strengths
- Founded and overseen by Dr. Sara Siavoshi — triple board-certified in Neurology, Headache Medicine, and Obesity Medicine
- LegitScript certified with compounded medications from USP-certified 503B pharmacies
- Flat-rate pricing — same monthly cost for all dose levels (dose escalation does not raise price)
- 100% online with rapid approvals (~24-48 hours) and discreet shipping in 3–5 business days
- Side-effect support, dose adjustments, and injection guides included with provider care
Where it loses points
- Separate $25/month provider care fee (compounded track) on top of medication cost
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved individual drugs
- Labs not required or included — no baseline bloodwork protocol disclosed
- States served not published; no explicit list available
- No dedicated coaching program beyond clinical dose management
Graded #268 · C
Strengths
- Names its dispensing pharmacy, PerfectRx, with a street address and a phone number
- Free shipping and interest-free installments are offered at checkout
- The intake's plan menu returned identical ladders in two different states, so the price is not being varied by geography in the states tested
- Coverage is stated as all 50 states, subject to provider availability
Where it loses points
- Neither semaglutide nor tirzepatide is named anywhere on the public site; the molecule first appears at step two of the intake, after name, email, phone and shipping address are collected
- The homepage sells “starting at $149” and “starting at $249” and neither figure appears in the intake in either state tested
- The semaglutide ladder is inverted: one month is $199 a month, three months and six months are both $209 a month
- $89 and $129 are first-month promotional rates; the standing rates are $199 and $369
- A second price table sits in the homepage script and renders nowhere, quoting a $329 tirzepatide figure the live intake contradicts
- Two different scarcity counters appear on consecutive checkout screens, and review turnaround is stated as 24 hours in one place and 48 in another
- No legal entity, state of organization or governing law is published, and no clinician or NPI is named
