Graded #455 · C
Strengths
- Named clinical MSO partner (Wasef Health, PC; Michael Wasef, MD) with public contact email
- Named 503A compounding pharmacy partner (Jungle Jim's Pharmacy, Fairfield OH) with full address
- Available in all 50 states per the FAQ
- Flat per-dose pricing within each tier — no dose-escalation surcharge
- Nutrition and movement coaching included in the medication price
Where it loses points
- Compounded medications only — no FDA-approved Wegovy, Ozempic, Mounjaro, or Zepbound
- Operating entity name not disclosed in the Terms of Service
- Terms 'where we operate' language is slightly weaker than the FAQ's all-50-states claim
- Video visit required in some states, but those states aren't listed
- FDA has issued this company a warning letter; the letter is public in FDA's warning-letter database
Graded #400 · C
Strengths
- Prescribes real brand-name GLP-1 (e.g. Ozempic/Wegovy), not compounded — appealing if you specifically want FDA-approved branded medication
- Simple $120 telehealth evaluation with a licensed doctor; no insurance hassle and no prior authorization
- You fill the prescription at your own regular pharmacy rather than waiting on a mail-order compounding pharmacy
- Also a general telehealth clinic (urgent care, chronic-condition management) if you want broader care
Where it loses points
- Only Texas and North Carolina are confirmed — not available nationwide
- The $120 is an evaluation fee; the brand-name medication is billed separately at your pharmacy and can be expensive without insurance
- Small practice (about 500 patients) with limited public detail on its clinicians and program
- No compounded or lower-cost medication option, and no medication pricing is published
