The verdict
NuviaRx takes it — 73.5/100 to 56.1/100.

NuviaRx is a GLP-1 weight-loss telehealth service offering compounded semaglutide (from $140/mo) and tirzepatide (from $170/mo) with transparent pricing and free delivery.

Graded #421 · C
Strengths
- Physician DO + NP team (Dr. Brandon Shaw, D.O. and Andrea Farris, N.P.) provides strong clinical oversight
- Compounded meds from LegitScript-certified pharmacies — higher supply-chain trust than many small practices
- Tiered dosing structure (Level 1 / Level 2) with B12 added to reduce nausea side effects
- Both telehealth and in-person options available (AZ Phoenix and CA Novato offices)
- Partnered mobile IV services available for enhanced nausea management and hydration support
Where it loses points
- Pricing not disclosed publicly — must contact clinic for quotes, limiting upfront comparison shopping
- Only AZ and CA confirmed — very limited geographic reach, excludes nearly all of the US
- No LegitScript certification for the clinic itself (only pharmacy partners are LegitScript-certified)
- Small practice with limited online presence and no published patient reviews or outcomes data
- No labs, coaching, or monitoring protocols disclosed on the site
Graded #69 · C
Strengths
- Transparent, affordable pricing — compounded semaglutide from $140/mo, tirzepatide from $170/mo
- Free delivery included; clinical evaluation and prescription bundled (if eligible)
- Full legal suite published (Terms, Privacy, HIPAA Notice, Informed Consent, Medical Disclaimer)
- Named operating entity (NuviaRx Health Inc.) with a US address and phone support
Where it loses points
- Compounding pharmacy partner not named ('partner pharmacy')
- Not LegitScript-certified (no certification displayed)
- Lowest pricing is 'as low as' — likely requires a longer prepaid plan
- State availability not published
