MD Trim Clinic vs PrideRx
The verdict
MD Trim Clinic takes it — 56.1/100 to 55.7/100, but only just.
MD Trim Clinic grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. MD Trim Clinic is a small physician-led practice in Phoenix, AZ and Novato, CA offering compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide via telehealth and in-person visits. PrideRx is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.

Graded #422 · 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 #435 · C
Strengths
- All three brand-name GLP-1 options on one platform — Zepbound injection, Wegovy Pill, and Foundayo — no compounded substitutes
- Medication ships from and is billed by LillyDirect or NovoCare; PrideRx never handles or re-sells the drug
- Transparent published per-dose pricing with on-page verification dates
- $99/mo membership includes doctor visits and prescription management; 24-hour prescription review
Where it loses points
- $99/mo membership on top of medication cost — all-in runs $248–$548/mo depending on drug and dose
- Legal entity and prescribing medical group are not named on the site
- No LegitScript certification visible
- State availability is not published — telehealth consult rules vary by state
