Wholesome Clinic
68/100Where the value is
- Real, named, dual-certified prescriber (Stephanie Ukoha, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP-BC)
- Transparent dose-tiered pricing for both injectable and oral GLP-1 options, with no evident promo bait-and-switch
- Oral ODT alternatives offer a notably cheaper entry point ($109/mo semaglutide, $249/mo tirzepatide)
The tradeoffs
- Weight loss is a secondary service line to the clinic's core psychiatry focus, not its specialty
- Only licensed in seven states -- far narrower than most national GLP-1 telehealth competitors
Neuvé Health
68/100Where the value is
- Prices twelve distinct GLP-1 products before any account: injectable and sublingual, standard and low dose, with a B12 or a B12-free glycine base for each
- States the 503A and 503B compounding classes on the homepage and the About page, which the August record did not find
- Names its founder as a nurse practitioner with a care role rather than referring only to an anonymous network
The tradeoffs
- Three surfaces disagree on whether the medication is inside the monthly price: the weight-loss page is headed "All-in monthly pricing" and lists the compounded drug as included, while its own fine print and the financial policy say medication, labs and supplies are billed separately
- The clinical partner that would settle that question — and that bills for the medication, the labs and the consultation — is never named
