Rivas Medical Weight Loss, answered
Is Rivas Medical Weight Loss legit?
Rivas Medical Weight Loss is a real, operating GLP-1 telehealth program, but we don't find it on the LegitScript registry, so it carries less third-party verification than the certified providers on our board. It dispenses compounded medication, which isn't FDA-approved. Vet the prescriber and pharmacy before you commit.
How much does Rivas Medical Weight Loss cost?
Rivas Medical Weight Loss doesn't publish a clear compounded-semaglutide price up front. You'll typically see full pricing after the intake questionnaire. Get the all-in monthly number in writing before you pay.
Does Rivas Medical Weight Loss ship to my state?
Rivas Medical Weight Loss operates in a limited set of states (3 states). If yours isn't on that list, you'll need a nationwide provider instead.
Rivas Medical Weight Loss vs CoreAge Rx — which is better?
Both are on our board. Rivas Medical Weight Loss scores 57/100; CoreAge Rx leads our default ranking at 91/100 for its flat nationwide pricing on both molecules and easy cancellation. Rivas Medical Weight Loss can still win for you if its strengths match your priorities — best for: People who want mD/VA/FL patients wanting hands-on weekly in-person or telehealth GLP-1 visits. Run the quiz to see which comes out ahead for you.
