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 #323 · C
Strengths
- One of the few telehealth providers offering compounded liraglutide as a daily alternative to weekly injections
- Semaglutide is compounded with B12, and the combination is stated plainly
- Publishes a street address and a staffed phone line with hours
- States openly that telemedicine is limited to jurisdictions where its providers are licensed, rather than claiming all 50
- LegitScript certification verified against the issued seal, not just the badge
Where it loses points
- Advertises Trusted by 150k Americans and Excellent 4.8 with 150k happy customers, and neither figure is attributable to a verifiable review profile
- No state list is published, only a statement that coverage is limited and a note that partner pharmacies may operate in all 50 states
- The struck-through $199 next to $149 on the homepage reads as a discount but the two prices are different medications
- Claims No Hidden Fees and No Monthly Membership while the Terms state subscriptions automatically renew
- No compounding pharmacy is named, only US-Certified Pharmacy
