Visit Rivas Medical Weight LossThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out Rivas Medical Weight Loss on the Mom-Tested Score, 94 to 55 (A vs C). Moms who want a flat, no-teaser price, both molecules available, and a signup you can genuinely finish while the baby sleeps — without a phone-tag scheduling loop.
Rivas Medical Weight Loss is still a genuine option — rivas Medical offers in-person weight-management care in Maryland and Virginia. Earlier public pricing used weekly visits and multiweek packages; current charges could not be confirmed. Ask for the initial evaluation fee, medication and visit costs, package total and cancellation terms before paying. Weigh the six mom factors below against your own priorities.

CoreAge Rx
Ranked #1 · Grade A
What we like
- Async intake — no live video visit to schedule around nap time; you reach a real price without booking a call first
- Advertised $79 semaglutide and $129 tirzepatide monthly prices stay the same at every listed dose
- Both semaglutide and tirzepatide on one account, so you're not locked to one molecule
The caveats
- Not the rock-bottom sticker — a couple of budget brands undercut it if price is your only lever
- Compounded only — no FDA-approved brand (Wegovy/Zepbound) if you specifically want the name brand
- It's a general metabolic program, not a hormone or PCOS specialty clinic
Rivas Medical Weight Loss
Ranked #222 · Grade C
What we like
- In-person care is available through clinics in Maryland and Virginia
- Earlier pricing separated brand-medication prescription visits from pharmacy charges
The caveats
- Current medication, visit and package charges could not be confirmed
- In-person care requires access to a clinic
- Ask whether medication, evaluation and follow-up visits are included
