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 #206 · C
Strengths
- Compounded semaglutide (5 dose tiers) and tirzepatide (6 dose tiers) in injectable and sublingual forms
- Physician-founded by board-certified Drs. Sean and Shannon Arora (Arora Health & Aesthetics); clinician reviews every assessment
- LegitScript certified, HIPAA compliant, medications dispensed through licensed U.S. pharmacy partners
- Visit fees, medication, labs, and follow-up all included; full pricing shown before commitment
- Peptide therapies offered including NAD+, sermorelin, glutathione, gonadorelin, and PT-141
Where it loses points
- Pricing is fully gated behind the assessment — no public pricing; actual monthly costs unverifiable without completing intake
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved; compounding pharmacy partners not publicly named
- Newer brand with 2026 founding; no Trustpilot rating or accessible public patient reviews found
- No dietitian, coaching, or HSA/FSA eligibility disclosed on public pages
- Claims all 50 states but 'treatment options may vary by state' with no explicit state-by-state coverage list
