MD Trim Clinic vs Ro
The verdict
Ro takes it — 80.2/100 to 56.1/100.
Ro grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. A heavyweight platform with brand-name access — but opaque compounded pricing drags its score.
We may earn a commission if you start care through some of these links, at no extra cost to you. It never moves the WeighScore, which is the weighted average of the six factors shown for every provider, and what we write about a provider is the same either way. See our disclosure.

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 #38 · B−
Strengths
- Brand-name access + insurance support
- Oral options
- Well-funded platform
Where it loses points
