Visit Florida Weight Loss MDThe verdict for a first step
CoreAge Rx edges out Florida Weight Loss MD on the Mama-Match Score, 94 to 52 (A vs C). Moms who want a clear, honest first step — a real clinician instead of a questionnaire, a flat price, and the freedom to pause when life needs you to.
Florida Weight Loss MD is still a genuine option — this is a genuine surgical practice rather than a telehealth brand: a bariatric center in Hollywood, Florida with a named surgeon who also performs sleeves and bypasses. Semaglutide is $69 a week or $179 a month; tirzepatide starts at $279. Two things need care. The package labels claim more time than they cover — "2.5-Month (10 Weeks)" is 2.3 months and "5-Month (20 Weeks)" is 4.6 — and the practice markets retatrutide, a medication not approved anywhere for anything. Weigh the six first-timer factors below against your own priorities.

Mama-Match
CoreAge Rx
Rank #1 · Grade A
What we like
- One flat monthly price, with no teaser rate that jumps after the first month — you know the number before you commit
- A clinician reads your history and will genuinely talk timing with you if you're postpartum, breastfeeding, or trying to conceive
- Semaglutide and tirzepatide in one account, so you and a clinician can choose — and switch — without starting over
The caveats
- Not the rock-bottom teaser price — a couple of marketplaces dangle a lower first-month number
- Compounded medication only, not FDA-approved brand-name Ozempic or Wegovy
- A general metabolic program, not a dedicated OB-GYN or hormone consult
Mama-Match
Florida Weight Loss MD
Rank #188 · Grade C
What we like
- A real physical practice with a named surgeon, Dr. Sergey Terushkin, MD, FACS, at a published Hollywood, Florida address
- Offers the whole surgical ladder alongside the medication — sleeve, bypass, revision, balloon — so the injection is not the only option
- Publishes weekly, monthly and multi-month pricing for semaglutide rather than a single figure
The caveats
- The package labels claim more time than they cover: "2.5-Month (10 Weeks)" is 2.3 months and "5-Month (20 Weeks)" is 4.6, so the monthly rate they suggest is lower than the real one
- It markets retatrutide, an investigational medication not FDA-approved for any indication
- The page you land on for GLP-1 pricing is written for Newark, New Jersey
