+Trustpilot rating of 4.8/5 across 4,144 reviews, and the company responds to 94% of negative reviews, typically within 24 hours
+Broad treatment range from a single provider — TRT, women's HRT, peptides, GLP-1s, sexual dysfunction, and hair loss — dispensed through its own 503B-registered pharmacy with labs required before prescribing
−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
−Some patients report delays of a week or more between consult and medication fulfillment
−Mobile app quality lags the web experience, per patient feedback
