Graded #437 · C
Strengths
- Physician-founded (Paul Rivas MD) with 15 clinics plus telehealth
- Flat price for any dose; weekly provider visits included in every payment
- Offers both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide
Where it loses points
- Expensive: about $498/mo for semaglutide and $715/mo for tirzepatide (billed weekly)
- Only available in Maryland, Virginia, and Florida
- Weekly-visit concierge model requires more frequent engagement than mail-order
Graded #85 · C
Strengths
- The tirzepatide figure is published up front, and it is genuinely low against the field
- Both molecules are offered
- No membership charge is advertised alongside the medication rate
Where it loses points
- The $83 monthly rate is advertised as '$83/month ($997/year)', which is twelve months of it — no month-to-month rate is separately published, and the terms state that a rate is locked for its full term
- Both product pages linked from the homepage return 404, so the plan terms cannot be read before intake
- Six- and twelve-month plans are non-refundable, and eligible refunds carry a 5% processing fee
- No dose strength is published anywhere, so what the $83 buys is not stated
- The named operator is Twist G Marketing, LLC rather than a clinical entity, and the terms carry a binding arbitration and class-action waiver
