Chronos Body Health & Wellness
46/100Where the value is
- Named, verifiable Medical Director (Dr. Mace Scott, MD)
- LegitScript certified
- Offers both in-person (Metairie) and telehealth care
The tradeoffs
- Only serves 2 states (Louisiana, Texas) -- very limited geographic footprint vs. national competitors
- No pricing published anywhere on the site -- must call or consult to learn cost
Framework
45/100Where the value is
- The compounding pharmacy partner is named, which most of this field does not do
- Treatment selection is doctor-guided rather than a fixed product menu
- US-licensed clinicians and a 503A pharmacy pathway
The tradeoffs
- No monthly medication price is published: the tirzepatide and semaglutide pages carry no price at all, and the homepage advertises a per-week figure for 'GLP-1s' generally rather than a rate for either drug
- The only drug-specific prices anywhere on the site sit on a legacy page — semaglutide at $349 per three months and tirzepatide at $549 per three months
