Mint Medical Clinic vs NovoCare Pharmacy
The verdict
Mint Medical Clinic takes it — 55.7/100 to 55.2/100, but only just.
Mint Medical Clinic grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Mint Medical Clinic is a hybrid Utah practice with in-person locations in Sandy and Layton plus telehealth, offering compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide from $299/month. NovoCare Pharmacy is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.
