Graded #74 · C
Strengths
- Transparent, published dose-by-dose pricing for semaglutide ($169-$269/mo) and tirzepatide ($199-$319/mo) with no membership or commitment
- Offers both FDA-approved and compounded GLP-1s (plus oral options) from 503A pharmacies, with a real provider at every visit
- Boutique physician-led model bundling labs, peptides, HRT/TRT and urgent care; FSA/HSA eligible
Where it loses points
- Florida-focused telehealth — availability outside FL is not advertised, so out-of-state access is uncertain
- Medication cost is on top of a $199 initial consultation and $99 follow-up visits (pay-per-visit, not an all-in monthly price)
- The 503A compounding pharmacy partner is not named on the site
Graded #118 · C
Strengths
- Menopause-specialized care — GLP-1 weight treatment alongside HRT, peptide, and compounded options for menopause symptoms
- Prescribed and monitored by named board-certified physicians at Arora Health & Aesthetics, with dose adjustments included
- Verifiable LegitScript certification (seal ID 50917967)
- GLP-1 from $179/month with $0 membership fees, FSA/HSA eligibility, free shipping, and cancel-anytime
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, 100% online with a roughly 2-minute intake
Where it loses points
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved — not brand Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, or Mounjaro
- Built for women navigating menopause — less tailored if that is not your situation
- A separate $50 physician consultation fee applies on top of the medication price
- The compounding pharmacy partner is not named, and the full list of served states is not published
