+15 years in operation (founded 2011) — one of the longest-running cash-pay hormone-therapy telehealth brands, with a named Medical Director (Dr. Justin Saya)

+Trustpilot rating of 4.8/5 across 4,144 reviews, and the company responds to 94% of negative reviews, typically within 24 hours

−Pricing is not published on the website; patients must complete a roughly $250 consult before learning treatment costs, a transparency gap versus competitors that post pricing upfront
