Florida Weight Loss MD review
This is a real surgical practice rather than a telehealth brand — a Hollywood, Florida bariatric center with a named surgeon, doing gastric sleeves and bypasses alongside the injections. Semaglutide runs $69 a week or $179 a month; tirzepatide starts at $279. Two things need care. Its package labels overstate their own length — "2.5-Month (10 Weeks)" is 2.3 months and "5-Month (20 Weeks)" is 4.6 — and the practice markets retatrutide, a drug that is not approved anywhere for anything.

How we scored Florida Weight Loss MD
Every factor comes from Florida Weight Loss MD's own published pricing, disclosures and oversight, and the six combine into the 50/100 Metabolic-Fit Score by the same weighted six-factor framework we apply to every provider — never nudged by whether a provider pays us.
Cost is unpredictable or sits at the premium end.
No postpartum or breastfeeding framing — a generic weight program.
Thin on the hormonal picture that drives many mothers' weight.
Support is thin once the prescription ships.
Oversight and lab support fall short of the top of this roster — the review below says exactly where.
Exit terms are the weak point: lock-in, notice periods, or a cancellation you have to chase.

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.

What we like
- A genuine physical practice with a named surgeon, Dr. Sergey Terushkin, MD, FACS, at a published Hollywood, Florida address
- Offers the full surgical ladder alongside medication — sleeve, bypass, revision, balloon — so the medication is not the only option on the table
- Publishes weekly, monthly and multi-month pricing for semaglutide rather than 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, with service in more than one language
The caveats
- The package labels overstate their own duration: "2.5-Month (10 Weeks)" is 2.3 months and "5-Month (20 Weeks)" is 4.6, so the implied monthly rate is lower than the real one
- It markets retatrutide, an investigational drug that is not FDA-approved for any indication and remains in trials
- The page a reader lands on for GLP-1 pricing is written for Newark, New Jersey — one of a set of city-targeted pages on a Florida practice's site
- Prices are all "from", and the site says dosage and pricing vary after medical evaluation
- No list of states served is published for the telehealth side
- The largest figure on the site, $9,299, is gastric sleeve surgery and has nothing to do with the medication
Florida Weight Loss MD for mothers: our verdict
This is a real surgical practice rather than a telehealth brand — a Hollywood, Florida bariatric center with a named surgeon, doing gastric sleeves and bypasses alongside the injections. Semaglutide runs $69 a week or $179 a month; tirzepatide starts at $279. Two things need care. Its package labels overstate their own length — "2.5-Month (10 Weeks)" is 2.3 months and "5-Month (20 Weeks)" is 4.6 — and the practice markets retatrutide, a drug that is not approved anywhere for anything. It runs about $179/month.
We weigh Florida Weight Loss MD the way mothers actually have to: not just the monthly cost, but postpartum and breastfeeding timing and PCOS and insulin resistance — the parts a general weight-loss roundup leaves out.
What Florida Weight Loss MD costs, in full
- 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 lands within a few dollars of the ~$179/month median across the providers we track, so the monthly cost isn't what should decide this one either way. Weigh it instead on postpartum and breastfeeding timing and PCOS and insulin resistance, and on what the price actually includes — a lower number that leaves out labs, visits or shipping is not the cheaper option.
Florida Weight Loss MD says the price covers the provider visit and the medication. That is the comparison that matters at this price: two providers a few dollars apart can differ by a hundred a month once the extras are counted, so line up what each one bundles before you decide.
The medications Florida Weight Loss MD prescribes
Florida Weight Loss MD prescribes semaglutide and tirzepatide — the two with the largest published weight-loss effects, and carrying both on one account matters when insulin resistance, common with PCOS and after gestational diabetes, makes tirzepatide the better-suited option. Brand pens are available here alongside the compounded versions, and the on-label products come with the manufacturer's own pregnancy and lactation labeling — easier to hand to an OB.
A needle-free oral or sublingual option is on the menu, which draws in mothers who've been avoiding injections — just set expectations: oral and buccal delivery of these peptides is far less studied than the injectable versions the trials used.
Where Florida Weight Loss MD fits — and where it doesn't — for mothers
A good fit if…
- the monthly cost is a real barrier and you want a low, predictable number.
- switching between semaglutide and tirzepatide may become necessary as your body and your hormones change.
Look elsewhere if…
- you'd rather a prescriber talk through timing around postpartum and breastfeeding timing — that is the ground our #1 pick, CoreAge Rx, is built on.
Oversight, safety, and what we could verify
Everything Florida Weight Loss MD states publicly checked out at last review: pricing, pharmacies and clinical network were all verifiable. As with any compounded GLP-1, the most useful thing mothers can do is confirm which licensed pharmacy fills the prescription and what's in the formulation — we explain how we weigh oversight in our scoring methodology.
A standing caveat for mothers: GLP-1 medications aren't established as safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and every label advises against use. Nothing here changes that — plan the timing with your own clinician.
The bottom line
Florida Weight Loss MD is a reasonable option — weigh it on postpartum and breastfeeding timing and PCOS and insulin resistance against the alternatives below. For most mothers, CoreAge Rx remains the stronger all-round fit — see why it tops our ranking.
The bottom line for mothers
Best for: Someone in South Florida who wants a surgeon in the room, and will price the packages by the week rather than by the label.

Providers we have a referral relationship with, ordered by their Metabolic-Fit Score — highest first. This module leaves out the provider whose page you are reading, so on CoreAge Rx's own review our #1 pick is the one name you will not find here.

- Visit CoreAge Rx92
Metabolic-Fit / 100
CoreAge RxOur #1 pickOne flat price, both molecules on a single chart, and a prescriber who reads your history before writing — the most predictable place for a mother to start and, just as important, to pause.
- Visit Gala Health84
Metabolic-Fit / 100
A flat $179 for either molecule with a genuinely gentle microdosing tier — a reasonable, all-doses-included option if you can live with a yearly plan and a pharmacy it doesn't name.
- Visit Enhance MD81
Metabolic-Fit / 100
One of the more oversight-forward compounded programs here — lab work and a live provider visit bundled into every plan, with a gentle microdosing tier — the catch is that the low '$212' headline you'll see quoted is the 12-month prepay rate, not the $249 you'd pay month to month.
