Weekly dose sets the program tier, Level 1 or Level 2, and the compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are dispensed by LegitScript-certified pharmacies that add B12 to reduce nausea. MD Trim Clinic is small and physician-led, with offices in Novato, CA and Phoenix, AZ, seeing patients in person and by telehealth. Its leads are nurse practitioner Andrea Farris, N.P. and Dr. Brandon Shaw, D.O. Initial screening is free, titration of dosing is physician-guided, and team support is ongoing.

Hims
What we like
- Shows its price before the medical questionnaire, so you can compare it without handing over health information
- The monthly price includes the medication
- Serves all 50 states
- Names 4 pharmacies that fill its prescriptions, which most sellers do not
Watch-outs
- Not included in the monthly price: clinician visits, coaching
- The FDA has issued Hims a warning letter. Read what it alleges: a letter flags a problem but does not by itself rule a seller out
- Its semaglutide is compounded rather than FDA-approved, so it has not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality
MD Trim Clinic
What we like
- The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits and shipping
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to MD Trim Clinic
Watch-outs
- You only see a price after finishing the medical intake, so you cannot compare costs before sharing health information
- Not included in the monthly price: lab work, coaching
- Serves only 2 states, so check that yours is one of them
- Ask which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay, so you can check its license
Our Verdict
Hims wins this one, 6.8 to 3.9, above all for knowing which pharmacy fills the vial: it names Apostrophe Pharmacy LLC. MD Trim Clinic fits better if a published list of the 2 states it serves, when most sellers publish none is your priority.
