TeleSlim Clinic review
I want to be clear about what the $99 gets you, because I misread it the first time. It is the clinic — three named doctors, dietitians, an exercise physiologist, even cognitive behavioral therapy — across six states they actually name. It is not the medicine. They will write you a prescription and what it costs is nowhere on the site. There is also a menu item that says "Pricing dummy", which somebody forgot to fill in.

How I scored TeleSlim Clinic
Every factor here comes from TeleSlim Clinic's own pricing, its disclosures and the signup I walked, and the six add up to the 52/100 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.
Scores low on choice — the medication menu is narrower here.
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.

I read this on 18 August 2026. TeleSlim Clinic is a Chicago practice at 875 North Michigan Avenue with three named doctors, registered dietitians, an exercise physiologist and cognitive behavioral therapy, and it says exactly where it works: Illinois, plus telemedicine in Texas, Colorado, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Arizona. The subscription is published in full — $99 a month, $269 for three months, $499 for six, $899 for a year, after a 45-minute first visit currently $99 instead of $199. The medicine is the hole. The site says it prescribes "GLP-1 and GIP medications" and never says what they cost, so the $99 buys the team and the drug is a second number nobody publishes. Two smaller things: a menu item reading "Pricing dummy" is live on the site, and the optional weekly dietitian and exercise sessions cost extra without saying how much. Ten office addresses are listed, all high-floor downtown suites, for a practice that calls itself all-online — I am recording that rather than concluding from it. It came back clean on the FDA's warning-letter list.
What to expect when you sign up
I walked TeleSlim Clinic's public signup funnel (August 2026) — a first-hand look at the flow. I don't create accounts, enter medical info, or check out, so this is what any visitor sees, not a patient outcome.
- 1The signup call to action leaves teleslimclinic.com for join.teleslimclinic.com, a separate host
- 2The intake responded HTTP 200 when checked on 2026-08-21
- 3Walked to the intake entry only. No personal information was submitted, so nothing past the entry screen is asserted here
What I noticed
- A monthly price is visible on the public homepage before any intake — you do not have to hand over information to see a number
- Intake is hosted on join.teleslimclinic.com, so the company you fill the form in with is not the domain you started on
Pricing
Prices re-verified
| Medication | Monthly | Plan |
|---|---|---|
| Compounded semaglutide | $99 | Clinic subscription only — medication not priced$99/month buys the physician, the plan and the support team. The medication is prescribed separately and its cost is published nowhere on the site. Longer commitments: $269 for 3 months, $499 for 6, $899 for a year. |
| Compounded tirzepatide | $99 | Clinic subscription only — medication not pricedThe same subscription. The site says it prescribes "GLP-1 and GIP medications" without pricing either. |
HSA and FSA usually work for this — worth checking your own plan. The prices here are what TeleSlim Clinic's public disclosures showed at last review, and they change often; confirm the current number on TeleSlim Clinic's own site.
What I like
- They name the six states instead of waving at "nationwide"
- Three named doctors, plus dietitians, an exercise physiologist and cognitive behavioral therapy
- Every subscription tier is published — $99 a month down to $899 for a year
- The first visit is a full 45 minutes, currently $99 instead of $199
- You can have a free ten-minute call with a doctor before paying anything
The caveats
- ⛔ The medicine has no price anywhere, so $99 is the start and not the total
- There is a menu item that reads "Pricing dummy" on the live site
- The weekly dietitian and exercise sessions cost extra and nobody says how much
- Ten addresses, every one a high floor in a downtown tower, for a clinic that calls itself all-online
- The newest articles are from 2023
- No pharmacy is named
What I actually think of TeleSlim Clinic
I want to be clear about what the $99 gets you, because I misread it the first time.

I look at TeleSlim Clinic 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 TeleSlim Clinic really costs
- Compounded semaglutide — Clinic subscription only — medication not priced: $99/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide — Clinic subscription only — medication not priced: $99/mo
Which meds TeleSlim Clinic prescribes
TeleSlim Clinic 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. These are compounded from a licensed pharmacy — that's why the price stays down — but compounded GLP-1s aren't FDA-approved finished products the way Wegovy and Zepbound are, and it's worth knowing that going in.
Who TeleSlim Clinic is — and isn't — for
A good fit if…
- you might need to move between semaglutide and tirzepatide as your body and hormones shift.
Look elsewhere if…
- you specifically want an FDA-approved brand pen with its own pregnancy and lactation labeling.
- 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 TeleSlim Clinic — 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?
TeleSlim Clinic 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: A mom in one of their six states who wants a real team, and who is going to ask what the medicine costs before she pays anything.
If TeleSlim Clinic isn't the one
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.

Head-to-head & alternatives
TeleSlim Clinic, answered
- How much does TeleSlim Clinic cost?
- TeleSlim Clinic doesn't post a plain monthly cash price — it depends on insurance or only shows after an intake. Get a written quote and confirm the ongoing rate before you hand over a card.
- Is TeleSlim Clinic okay to use while I'm breastfeeding?
- No — and that's true of every GLP-1, compounded or brand: none is established as safe in pregnancy or breastfeeding, and the labels say don't. TeleSlim Clinic is no exception. Plan any GLP-1 for after weaning and talk the timing through with your own clinician. I'm a mom, not a doctor.
- Does TeleSlim Clinic have both semaglutide and tirzepatide?
- Yes — TeleSlim Clinic offers both. Tirzepatide's dual GIP/GLP-1 action is often the one clinicians reach for when insulin resistance drives weight, which matters if you've got PCOS or a history of gestational diabetes.
- Where does TeleSlim Clinic land on your list?
- TeleSlim Clinic scores 52/100 on the Mom-Tested Score (ranked #230), which weights the six things that actually matter when you're doing this around kids. My #1 pick, CoreAge Rx, leads the list — worth seeing how they stack up.
Pricing, states and verification reflect TeleSlim Clinic's public disclosures at last review; the Mom-Tested Score is one mom's editorial judgment per the published method. This is background reading, not medical advice — GLP-1 medications are not established as safe in pregnancy or breastfeeding. See my medical disclaimer and how I'm funded.
