Southern Vitality and Weight Loss vs TOM Weight Loss
The verdict
TOM Weight Loss takes it — 66.3/100 to 65.2/100, 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. Southern Vitality and Weight Loss is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.

Graded #227 · C
Strengths
- Compounded GLP-1 (semaglutide and tirzepatide) starting as low as $99/mo
- Names its compounding pharmacy partners (PerfectRx, The Pharmacy Hub, RX Compound Store) — uncommon transparency
- Free telehealth consult and free shipping; no membership or hidden fees
- Bi-weekly check-ins; operating since 2012
- Flexible monthly financing available at checkout
Where it loses points
- This is one physical clinic in Valdosta, Georgia, not a national telehealth service — nothing here is available to a reader outside Georgia
- The advertised 'as low as $99/month' is a semaglutide three-month starter pack ($299 paid up front), not a tirzepatide rate and not a monthly one
- Month-to-month rates are $199 semaglutide and $299 tirzepatide
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved finished products
Graded #193 · C
Strengths
- ABOM board-certified physician (Dr. Tran Le, NPI 1194212258, verified ACTIVE)

- Flat-rate pricing — no dose escalation surcharge
- LegitScript badge displayed
- No FDA Warning Letters
Where it loses points
- Limited geographic footprint — Texas and Utah only
- No named compounding pharmacy partner disclosed
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved
- Cash-pay only, no insurance
