Who MD Trim Clinic may suit
Patients near Phoenix, AZ or Novato, CA who want an in-person option and don't mind discovering price only after booking.
Where the value is
- Named medical director (Dr. Brandon Shaw, D.O.) rather than anonymous clinical leadership
- Offers a genuine in-person option in two markets, not telehealth-only
- Says its medications come from a LegitScript-certified pharmacy
- Offers both Semaglutide and Tirzepatide with tiered dosing levels
The tradeoffs
- Zero dollar pricing published on its site
- Specific compounding pharmacy is not named, only described as 'a third-party pharmacy'
- We didn't see a LegitScript seal on the site; ask the clinic which pharmacy fills your prescription
- Only serves two physical metro areas in person; broader telehealth state coverage is unclear
How MD Trim Clinic charges
MD Trim Clinic doesn't publish its prices. What it does show is how they're built: you pay monthly, and the amount depends on which medication you take and your weekly dose. There are four plans.
- Semaglutide Level 1 covers doses up to 1 mg a week, for people starting out.
- Semaglutide Level 2 is the higher-dose plan, for anyone who needs more than 1 mg a week.
- Tirzepatide Level 1 covers doses up to 10 mg a week.
- Tirzepatide Level 2 is for doses above 10 mg a week.
So expect your bill to step up once you move past the first plan. The screening visit is free. The clinic takes major credit cards but not medical insurance, which it says keeps costs down. Ask for the monthly price of both levels at your free consultation, before you agree to anything.
Considering MD Trim Clinic?
Check the plan total, billing period and cancellation terms before you enroll. A clinician decides whether treatment is appropriate.
In person or online
MD Trim Clinic has two offices, one in Phoenix, Arizona, and one in Novato, California. You can book the free screening online or in the office. Its care team is a board-certified physician, Dr. Brandon Shaw, D.O., and a nurse practitioner, Andrea Farris.
If you're approved, the prescription is filled by an outside pharmacy and shipped to your home. The clinic says all of its medications come from LegitScript-certified pharmacies, but it doesn't name them. It posts videos on what to expect when the package arrives and how to give yourself the injection. After that you can call or email the team with questions.
In some locations the clinic also works with mobile IV services and offers discounted pricing on them.
Things to check before you sign up
The clinic doesn't list the states it can prescribe in beyond its two offices, so confirm yours if you'd be doing this remotely.
It also doesn't publish a refund or cancellation policy. Ask how billing works month to month, how much notice you need to stop, and what happens to a shipment that's already on its way.
One more thing to know. The clinic's site describes its medications as compounded and, in other places, as "FDA-approved." Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide aren't FDA-approved; the FDA-approved versions are brand-name drugs like Wegovy and Zepbound. Ask which one you'd be getting.

MEDGmPartner
Semaglutide modeled $299/mo · Tirzepatide modeled $399/mo
MEDGm charges $299 a month for compounded semaglutide injections and $399 for tirzepatide once the $120 welcome coupon lapses, prints every plan length on its product pages, and names the four pharmacies that fill its prescriptions.
MyDrHankPartner
Semaglutide modeled $249/mo · Tirzepatide modeled $349/mo
Every price this site advertises is a twelve-month prepay rate — its price display returns the cheapest term by design — so the real month-to-month cost is $249-$349, not the "from $171" on the page.
CollectivePartner
Semaglutide modeled $75.58/mo · Tirzepatide modeled $85.58/mo
Collective sells compounded semaglutide at $59 and tirzepatide at $69 a month, both genuinely medication prices, on top of a $199 annual membership that is required, auto-renewing and not refundable.
