Graded #329 · C
Strengths
- Physician-led (Dr. Sergey Terushkin, MD, FACS) with same-day telehealth visits statewide in Florida
- Offers both compounded GLP-1 and brand Wegovy/Ozempic/Mounjaro/Zepbound when appropriate
- Accepts most insurance or self-pay; consult $99 with $49 applied to the program
Where it loses points
- Florida residents only — no service outside the state
- Monthly medication pricing is not published; disclosed after evaluation
- Single-clinic operation rather than a national telehealth platform
Graded #399 · C
Strengths
- Prescribes real brand-name GLP-1 (e.g. Ozempic/Wegovy), not compounded — appealing if you specifically want FDA-approved branded medication
- Simple $120 telehealth evaluation with a licensed doctor; no insurance hassle and no prior authorization
- You fill the prescription at your own regular pharmacy rather than waiting on a mail-order compounding pharmacy
- Also a general telehealth clinic (urgent care, chronic-condition management) if you want broader care
Where it loses points
- Only Texas and North Carolina are confirmed — not available nationwide
- The $120 is an evaluation fee; the brand-name medication is billed separately at your pharmacy and can be expensive without insurance
- Small practice (about 500 patients) with limited public detail on its clinicians and program
- No compounded or lower-cost medication option, and no medication pricing is published
