Graded #102 · 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 #323 · C
Strengths
- One of the few telehealth providers offering compounded liraglutide as a daily alternative to weekly injections
- Semaglutide is compounded with B12, and the combination is stated plainly
- Publishes a street address and a staffed phone line with hours
- States openly that telemedicine is limited to jurisdictions where its providers are licensed, rather than claiming all 50
- LegitScript certification verified against the issued seal, not just the badge
Where it loses points
- Advertises Trusted by 150k Americans and Excellent 4.8 with 150k happy customers, and neither figure is attributable to a verifiable review profile
- No state list is published, only a statement that coverage is limited and a note that partner pharmacies may operate in all 50 states
- The struck-through $199 next to $149 on the homepage reads as a discount but the two prices are different medications
- Claims No Hidden Fees and No Monthly Membership while the Terms state subscriptions automatically renew
- No compounding pharmacy is named, only US-Certified Pharmacy
