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 — everyone else on this site quotes a month. This one quotes a week, and once you convert it the difference is huge: $115 a week is about $500 a month, three or four times the telehealth price. But it is not the same thing you are buying. That price covers a weekly in-person appointment with a provider, vitals and a weigh-in, fifty-two times a year, at one of fifteen clinics in Maryland and Virginia. 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
- Flat monthly price with no first-month teaser that jumps at refill — the number on screen is the number every month
- 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 #203 · Grade C
What we like
- The price covers a weekly in-person visit with vitals and a weigh-in, not just the prescription
- Flat at any dose, for both medicines
- I checked all four package discounts and they are exact to the cent
The caveats
- ⛔ Pricing by the week hides a monthly cost of about $500 and $717
- That is two to three times what the telehealth sellers here charge
- It only works if you can actually go every week
