Florida Weight Loss MD review
A real surgical practice rather than a telehealth brand: a Hollywood, Florida bariatric center with a named surgeon doing sleeves and bypasses alongside the injections. Semaglutide is $69 a week or $179 a month; tirzepatide starts at $279. Two things need care. The package labels overstate their own length — "2.5-Month (10 Weeks)" is 2.3 months and "5-Month (20 Weeks)" is 4.6 — and the practice markets retatrutide, a drug not approved anywhere for anything.

How we scored Florida Weight Loss MD
Each score comes out of Florida Weight Loss MD's published pricing, disclosures and oversight, and the six combine into the 58/100 Editors' Rating on the same weighted six-factor framework we apply to every provider — never nudged by whether a provider pays us.
The headline rate obscures a plan requirement or a hidden step-up.
Cost is unpredictable, premium, or hides behind a plan commitment.
Little here is shaped around a mother's week or her life stage.
Support is thin once the prescription ships.
Oversight and lab support fall short of the top of this roster — the review below says exactly where.

Read from Florida Weight Loss MD's own pages in August 2026. It is a physical bariatric surgical practice in Hollywood, Florida with a named surgeon, offering GLP-1s alongside sleeve, bypass and revision surgery. Compounded semaglutide is $69 a week, $179 a month or $399 for three months; tirzepatide starts at $279 a month. Its package labels overstate their own length — "2.5-Month (10 Weeks)" is 2.3 months and "5-Month (20 Weeks)" is 4.6 — so priced by the week those packages are $194 and $162 a month rather than the $180 and $150 implied. The practice also markets retatrutide, which is not FDA-approved for any indication, and the page carrying its GLP-1 pricing is written for Newark, New Jersey.

What we like
- A genuine physical practice with a named surgeon, Dr. Sergey Terushkin, MD, FACS, at a published Hollywood, Florida address
- Offers the full surgical ladder alongside medication — sleeve, bypass, revision, balloon — so medication is not the only option on the table
- Publishes weekly, monthly and multi-month pricing for semaglutide rather than one figure
- Carries brand-name options including Wegovy pills and Foundayo (orforglipron)
- Names side effects and contraindications directly, including medullary thyroid carcinoma, MEN2 and pregnancy
- Same-day appointments, with service in more than one language
The caveats
- The package labels overstate their own duration: "2.5-Month (10 Weeks)" is 2.3 months and "5-Month (20 Weeks)" is 4.6, so the implied monthly rate is lower than the real one
- It markets retatrutide, an investigational drug not FDA-approved for any indication
- The page a reader lands on for GLP-1 pricing is written for Newark, New Jersey — one of a set of city-targeted pages on a Florida practice's site
- Prices are all "from", and the site says dosage and pricing vary after medical evaluation
- No list of states served is published for the telehealth side
- The largest figure on the site, $9,299, is gastric sleeve surgery and has nothing to do with the medication
Florida Weight Loss MD for mothers: our verdict
A real surgical practice rather than a telehealth brand: a Hollywood, Florida bariatric center with a named surgeon doing sleeves and bypasses alongside the injections. Semaglutide is $69 a week or $179 a month; tirzepatide starts at $279. Two things need care. The package labels overstate their own length — "2.5-Month (10 Weeks)" is 2.3 months and "5-Month (20 Weeks)" is 4.6 — and the practice markets retatrutide, a drug not approved anywhere for anything. It runs about $179/month.
We weigh Florida Weight Loss MD the way mothers actually have to: not just the real monthly cost, but the real monthly cost once the dose climbs and whether a real clinician stands behind it — the things a generic roundup never gets to.
What Florida Weight Loss MD actually costs
- Compounded semaglutide — Monthly program: $179/mo
- Compounded semaglutide — Three-month supply: $133/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide — Monthly: $279/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide — 10-week package: $194/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide — 20-week package: $162/mo
That's roughly in line with the ~$179/month median across our roster.
The medications Florida Weight Loss MD prescribes
Florida Weight Loss MD prescribes semaglutide and tirzepatide — the pair with the strongest evidence behind them, and having both under one account matters when insulin resistance, familiar from PCOS and gestational diabetes, makes tirzepatide the better fit. It can also route you to FDA-approved brand pens rather than only compounded vials, and those carry the manufacturer's own pregnancy and lactation labeling, which is a cleaner document to take to an OB.
A needle-free oral or sublingual option is on the menu, which draws in mothers who've been avoiding injections — just set expectations: oral and buccal delivery of these peptides is far less studied than the injectable versions the trials used.
Where Florida Weight Loss MD fits — and where it doesn't — for mothers
Worth it if…
- the real monthly cost is a real barrier and you want a low, predictable number.
- you may need to move between semaglutide and tirzepatide as your body and hormones change.
Give it a miss if…
- you'd rather a prescriber talk through timing around the real monthly cost once the dose climbs — that's what our #1 pick, CoreAge Rx, is built for.
Trust, safety, and oversight
Our confidence in Florida Weight Loss MD's public facts is high — pricing, pharmacies, and clinical network were verifiable at last review. As with any compounded GLP-1, the most useful thing mothers can do is confirm which licensed pharmacy fills the prescription and what's in the formulation — we explain how we weigh oversight in our Editors' Rating methodology.
A standing caveat for mothers: GLP-1 medications aren't established as safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and every label advises against use. Nothing here changes that — plan the timing with your own clinician.
The bottom line
Florida Weight Loss MD is a reasonable option — weigh it on the real monthly cost once the dose climbs and whether a real clinician stands behind it against the alternatives below. For most mothers, CoreAge Rx remains the stronger all-round fit — see why it tops our ranking.
The bottom line for mothers
Best for: A South Florida family that wants a surgeon in the room, and will price the packages by the week rather than the label.

- Visit CoreAge RxCoreAge RxOur #1 pick
The one program on this masthead whose number still makes sense at the top of the dose. A flat, all-in monthly price on both molecules, no teaser rate to expire, and a cancel button you can actually find — the closest thing to a family-budget guarantee we've reviewed.
- Visit Gala Health
A flat $179 for either molecule and a genuinely gentle microdosing tier — a reasonable, all-doses-included option, if you can live with a yearly plan and a pharmacy the marketing never names.
- Visit Sesame
A high-trust telehealth marketplace that took a clear side: FDA-approved brand GLP-1 only, no compounded shortcut. You pay a brand cash price and book a real video visit — but you get on-label pens and one of the cleaner reputations on this masthead.
