Detailed Reviews
A note on prices below: any dollar figure in these provider summaries refers to that clinic’s GLP‑1 weight-loss program, not to Tesamorelin. The Tesamorelin price is the one beside each clinic in the comparison table above, read from that clinic’s own product page. Where it reads “Check pricing”, the clinic prescribes Tesamorelin but publishes no price for it — you are quoted after the consultation.

How we rank & what counts as “legit”
Every provider in this ranking is scored against our published six-factor rubric[1] — value, effectiveness, user experience, trust & safety, accessibility, and support.
Brand-name Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, and Mounjaro are separately FDA-approved under their own NDA numbers[4][5]. Published Phase 3 efficacy for semaglutide 2.4 mg (~14.9% mean weight loss over 68 weeks) comes from the STEP 1 trial[6], and for tirzepatide (~20.9% at the 15 mg dose over 72 weeks) from SURMOUNT-1[7]; the SURMOUNT-5 head-to-head published in 2025 compared the two directly[8].
Insurance coverage for anti-obesity medications varies widely by state Medicaid program and commercial plan[9][10]. Compounded and brand-name GLP-1s are generally FSA/HSA eligible with a prescription under IRS Publication 502[11].
