About LaSara Medical Group
No steady-state price is published, though discounts run from time to time. LaSara Medical Group operates nationally by telehealth and will see patients in person in southern California. Compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide share a menu with TRT, NAD+, sermorelin, B12 and enclomiphene, making this a multi-modality clinic rather than a GLP-1 specialist. A free consultation opens the process, and a doctor must approve.
