Florida Weight Loss MD vs Velvet Rx
The verdict
Florida Weight Loss MD takes it — 59.8/100 to 58.1/100, 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. Velvet Rx is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.

Graded #333 · 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 #381 · C
Strengths
- Public pricing across 3 SKUs (semaglutide $299, tirzepatide $359, oral GLP-1 $349) — uncommon in compounded telehealth
- First-month promo pricing shown upfront ($139 sema / $199 tirz / $189 oral)
- Single monthly price includes consult, prescription, 4 weeks of medication, and free 1–2 day shipping
- FSA/HSA eligible
- Three options under one roof: injectable sema, injectable tirz, and an oral GLP-1
Where it loses points
- Oral GLP-1 SKU doesn't name the specific drug — a real gap given Rybelsus, Foundayo, and compounded oral semaglutide differ clinically
- No LegitScript or NABP .pharmacy seal displayed
- No legal entity name disclosed
- No physical address disclosed
- Compounding pharmacy partner not named
