Graded #59 · C
Strengths
- Transparent, competitive pricing published up front — compounded semaglutide from $120/mo, tirzepatide from $180/mo, retatrutide from $170/mo
- No subscription, monthly fee or membership — a direct-to-patient model where you pay per medication, and follow-up visits are free
- Free initial consults for first responders, law enforcement, military, nurses and teachers ($0), and $25 for other healthcare workers
- Founded and led by a named family nurse practitioner (Tiffani McKnight, FNP-C) licensed across 30 states/DC, with HIPAA-compliant virtual visits
- HSA/FSA funds and financing accepted, with itemized invoices for HSA/FSA submission
Where it loses points
- Offers compounded retatrutide (labeled "RTT/GLP-3"), an investigational triple agonist not FDA-approved — a higher-risk, less-studied option
- Compounded medications only — no brand-name Wegovy, Zepbound or Ozempic — and compounded GLP-1s aren't FDA-reviewed or approved
- No LegitScript certification shown and no compounding-pharmacy partner named, so the dispensing pharmacy can't be independently verified
- Small, newly established founder-led practice with a thin website and limited public track record or third-party reviews
- Medication prices are "starting at" and billed on top of a one-time consult fee, so the true first-month cost runs higher than the headline
Graded #175 · C
Strengths
- Wide selection — compounded semaglutide ($249) and tirzepatide ($329), oral tablet options, plus brand GLP-1 (cash pay)
- Includes video coaching and lifestyle support with a licensed-doctor consult
- Full legal suite published (Terms, Privacy, Privacy Practices, Medical Consent)
- Prescription delivered to your door after an online intake and consult
Where it loses points
- Compounded semaglutide ($249) is pricier than some budget competitors
- Compounding pharmacy partner not named
- Not LegitScript-certified (no certification displayed)
- Runs on a shared white-label telehealth platform (CareValidate/careGLP)
