Florida Weight Loss MD review
This is an actual surgical practice, not a website — a bariatric center in Hollywood, Florida with a named surgeon who also does sleeves and bypasses. Semaglutide is $69 a week or $179 a month, tirzepatide starts at $279. Two things to know. The package labels claim more time than they cover — "2.5-Month (10 Weeks)" is 2.3 months and "5-Month (20 Weeks)" is 4.6 — and the practice markets retatrutide, which isn't approved anywhere, for anything.

How I scored Florida Weight Loss MD
Every factor here comes from Florida Weight Loss MD's own pricing, its disclosures and the signup I walked, and the six add up to the 53/100 Mom-Tested Score on the same weighted six-factor method I use on every provider — never nudged by whether a provider pays us.
Scores low: pinning down the real ongoing number takes work.
Scores low: whether it reaches you is the open question.
Covers what most moms need, if not every option.
Exit terms are the weak point: lock-in, notice periods, or a cancellation you have to chase.
Scores low here: getting started asks more of your week than most.
Support is the weakest part of this provider's score.

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.

HSA and FSA usually work for this — worth checking your own plan. The prices here are what Florida Weight Loss MD's public disclosures showed at last review, and they change often; confirm the current number on Florida Weight Loss MD's own site.
What I like
- A real practice with a named surgeon, Dr. Sergey Terushkin, MD, FACS, at a published Hollywood, Florida address
- Offers the whole surgical ladder alongside the medication — sleeve, bypass, revision, balloon — so the shot isn't the only thing on the table
- Publishes weekly, monthly and multi-month pricing for semaglutide instead of 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, in more than one language
The caveats
- The package labels claim more time than they cover: "2.5-Month (10 Weeks)" is 2.3 months and "5-Month (20 Weeks)" is 4.6, so the monthly rate they imply is lower than the real one
- It markets retatrutide, a drug still in trials and not FDA-approved for anything
- The page you land on for GLP-1 pricing is written for Newark, New Jersey — one of a set of city pages on a Florida practice's site
- Prices are all "from", and the site says dosage and pricing change after medical evaluation
- No list of states for the telehealth side
- The biggest number on the site, $9,299, is gastric sleeve surgery and has nothing to do with the medication
What I actually think of Florida Weight Loss MD
This is an actual surgical practice, not a website — a bariatric center in Hollywood, Florida with a named surgeon who also does sleeves and bypasses. Semaglutide is $69 a week or $179 a month, tirzepatide starts at $279. Two things to know. The package labels claim more time than they cover — "2.5-Month (10 Weeks)" is 2.3 months and "5-Month (20 Weeks)" is 4.6 — and the practice markets retatrutide, which isn't approved anywhere, for anything. It runs about $179/month.
I look at Florida Weight Loss MD the way moms actually have to — not just the real monthly number, but nursing and pregnancy timing and canceling without a fight. That's the stuff a generic weight-loss review skips right over.
What Florida Weight Loss MD really 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 about in line with the ~$179/month middle of my shortlist.
Which meds Florida Weight Loss MD prescribes
Florida Weight Loss MD prescribes semaglutide and tirzepatide — the two with the strongest published weight-loss numbers, and having both on one account genuinely matters if insulin resistance is in the mix (which it often is with PCOS or after gestational diabetes), because that's when tirzepatide tends to be the better fit. It can also route you to FDA-approved brand pens, not just compounded — and the on-label products come with the manufacturer's own pregnancy and lactation labeling, which is a lot cleaner to hand to your OB.
There's a needle-free option here too, and it's worth asking exactly which kind before you choose it. An FDA-approved GLP-1 tablet is a studied medicine with its own label; a compounded under-the-tongue version is a different thing, far less studied than the shots the trials actually used. They get advertised in almost identical language.
Who Florida Weight Loss MD is — and isn't — for
A good fit if…
- money is the actual barrier and you want a low, predictable number you can plan around.
- you might need to move between semaglutide and tirzepatide as your body and hormones shift.
Look elsewhere if…
- you'd rather a prescriber actually talk through nursing and pregnancy timing with you — that's what my #1 pick, CoreAge Rx, is built to do.
Can you trust it?
I'm confident in the public facts on Florida Weight Loss MD — pricing, pharmacies, and the clinical network all checked out when I last looked. With any compounded GLP-1, the most useful thing you can do is confirm which licensed pharmacy fills it and what's actually in the formulation — I explain how I weigh oversight in the scoring method.
A standing caveat, because I'm a mom writing this and not your doctor: GLP-1 meds aren't established as safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and every label advises against it. Nothing here changes that — plan the timing with your own clinician.
So, would I use it?
Florida Weight Loss MD is a reasonable option — weigh it against the picks below on nursing and pregnancy timing and canceling without a fight. For most moms, CoreAge Rx is still the stronger all-round fit — and you can see them side by side in this head-to-head.
The bottom line for moms
Best for: If you're in South Florida and want a surgeon in the room — and you'll price the packages by the week, not by the label.

Providers I have a referral relationship with, ordered by Mom-Tested Score — highest first. A fee never moves a score, but it does decide who shows up in this box, so it isn't everyone: my full ranking has every provider, paid or not.
- Visit CoreAge RxMom-Tested Score94/100ACoreAge RxMy #1 pick
The one I'd point a friend to first: I finished the intake in a single nap, the price on screen was the price I'd actually pay, and both semaglutide and tirzepatide were right there on one account.
- Visit Pallas HealthMom-Tested Score86/100B+
Pallas is one of the few places that will sell you either the cheap compounded route or the real brand-name pen without making you pick a provider first — compounded semaglutide works out to about $199 a month and tirzepatide about $299, while actual Zepbound, Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro sit alongside them at cash-pay prices from $1,069. The price genuinely doesn't climb as you titrate, Pallas says so plainly on its own site, and the clinician, dose adjustments, check-ins and messaging are all inside that one number with no membership fee stacked on top. Two clinicians are named and both check out in the federal NPI registry, the LegitScript badge it displays is a real one, and it publishes an actual refund policy — full refund if a clinician turns you down, and a $5 processing fee if you cancel a qualifying payment — which is more paperwork than most of this market bothers with. The two things to know before you commit: it bills every 12 weeks in $597 and $897 chunks rather than monthly, and it never names its compounding pharmacy.
- Visit Trimi HealthMom-Tested Score85/100B
The price-first pick: some of the lowest flat, all-inclusive pricing I found, in all 50 states — great if the monthly number is your whole decision and you read the annual-prepay fine print before you sign.
