CoreAge Rx edges out TOM Weight Loss on the Mama-Match Score, 73 to 61 (C vs C). Someone comparing dose prices who can obtain the offer, state availability and order terms in writing.
TOM Weight Loss is still a genuine option — a small, physician-led practice — Dr. Tran Le personally, capped at ~500 patients — $199/mo semaglutide, $249/mo tirzepatide, all-inclusive, but limited to Texas and Utah only. Weigh the six first-timer factors below against your own priorities.

TOM Weight Loss
Rank #105 · Grade C
What we like

- Flat, all-inclusive pricing for both molecules with no hidden fees
The caveats
- Limited to Texas and Utah only — the narrowest coverage among the providers we review
- No published time-to-first-dose
- No brand-name (FDA-approved) option
