NowPatient vs TOM Weight Loss
The verdict
TOM Weight Loss takes it — 66.3/100 to 65.5/100, but only just.
TOM Weight Loss grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Solo-physician DTC telemedicine clinic in Texas + Utah operated by Dr. NowPatient is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.
