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
Genesis Lifestyle Medicine
46/100Where the value is
- 16 physical clinics confirmed by name across 8 states, allowing genuine in-person visits and injections rather than pure telehealth
- Confirmed dual modality — the nav explicitly lists both compounded semaglutide/tirzepatide and brand-name Wegovy/Zepbound on the same platform
- LegitScript verification badge displayed
The tradeoffs
- Zero pricing is published anywhere reached — /pricing and /weight-loss both 404, and the homepage gives no dollar figure for any of the five listed weight-loss products
- Location count could not be confirmed at the dataset's previously-recorded '18' — the live homepage states 16
