Elara MD vs MyDietDoc
The verdict
MyDietDoc takes it — 53.6/100 to 53.5/100, but only just.
MyDietDoc grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. MyDietDoc (mydietdoc.com, also operating as dietdoc.com) is an established US telehealth practice based in Oracle, Arizona that prescribes GLP-1 weight-loss medication among other treatments. Elara MD is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.
