Florida Weight Loss MD vs MDLive
The verdict
Florida Weight Loss MD takes it — 59.8/100 to 58.8/100, but only just.
Florida Weight Loss MD grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Florida Weight Loss MD (Florida Surgery & Weight Loss Center) is a physician-led telehealth clinic serving patients statewide across Florida. MDLive is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.
