4 providers in Testosterone (TRT)
Hone Health
Membership-model TRT telehealth with the strongest review-platform posture in our cohort
Hone Health is our top pick in hormone-TRT for most users. The trust signals are uniformly positive: BBB Accredited (relatively recent, Dec 2023), Trustpilot 4.8 across 10,000+ reviews with no fraud notice, no FDA warning letters, and a care model that requires baseline labs before prescribing (the right clinical standard). Pricing isn't the cheapest, but the all-in math at $157-$249/month with labs bundled from month three is honest and competitive. Choose Defy Medical if you specifically want MD/DO physicians with endocrinology backgrounds and are willing to pay premium pricing for that depth; choose Marek Health if you want the coaching-plus-prescribing model.
$129-$149/mo membership + ~$28-$100/mo medication
No financial relationshipDefy Medical
Established Tampa hormone clinic with MD/DO physicians and premium pricing
Defy Medical is the premium pick in hormone-TRT for users who specifically want MDs and DOs with endocrinology backgrounds and willingness to customize protocols beyond standard monotherapy. The physician-credential signal is the strongest in our cohort. The honest counterweights are real: BBB C rating with one unanswered complaint, recurring forum threads about refill delays, and pricing that runs $200-$350/month all-in vs Hone's $157-$249. Choose Defy if you've outgrown a basic TRT protocol and want depth; choose Hone Health if you want the cleaner trust posture and lower price.
$149-$350 initial consult + $200-$350/mo medication + lab fees
No financial relationshipMarek Health
Coaching-plus-prescribing model with lab-heavy hormone optimization
Marek Health is a credible third option in hormone-TRT for users who specifically want the coaching-plus-prescribing model. The Trustpilot signal is consistent (4.8 across the smaller sample), the pricing is mid-range, and the lab-heavy approach is appropriate for hormone optimization. The honest counterweights: NOT BBB-accredited with no posted letter grade, smaller operational scale than Hone or Defy, and the all-in cost lands above Hone once you factor quarterly lab fees. Choose Hone for most cases; Marek if monthly coaching contact between provider visits is the binding need.
$250 initial deposit + $225-$275/mo medication + $350-$700/quarter labs
No financial relationshipMaximus
Fertility-preserving oral TRT with enclomiphene; published clinical study, but BBB F rating with unanswered complaints
Maximus is the only TRT provider in our cohort with a publicly-documented clinical study on its specific protocol (4x total testosterone and 5x free testosterone with LH/FSH preserved on the Oral T + Enclomiphene approach), which is a meaningful clinical-transparency advantage. The fertility-preservation angle is also genuinely differentiating for younger men or those concerned about fertility on traditional injectable TRT. Honest counterweights are real and stack: BBB F rating driven by unanswered complaints (structurally similar to Henry Meds's failure mode), small Trustpilot sample relative to cohort competitors, and a broader compounded-medication footprint that extends beyond TRT into GLP-1 and other categories. Choose Maximus if fertility-preserving oral TRT is specifically the binding need and you've read the BBB complaint pattern and decided you're comfortable with the operational risk; otherwise Hone Health remains the cleaner default for hormone-TRT.
$99.99/mo enclomiphene-only or $199.99/mo oral testosterone + enclomiphene (annual commitment)

About this directory, the rubric, and how we make money.
What does "vetted" mean here?
Each provider in this directory is independently scored on a public six-dimension rubric: licensure, accreditation, transparency, product quality, pricing, and customer service. We verify state pharmacy licenses against state board registries, FDA enforcement actions against the FDA warning-letter database, and accreditations against the relevant public registry where one exists. Every score has a one-line rationale and (where possible) a source link on the provider profile. The full methodology is at /methodology/provider-vetting.
Do you accept money from the providers you list?
Some providers in this directory have an affiliate relationship with us. When a reader clicks through and books a consultation, we may earn a per-click or per-qualified-consult fee. Inclusion in the directory is independent of whether a provider pays us. The rubric and ranking are not affected by who pays. Affiliate relationships are disclosed on every listing card with a "We earn a fee" pill, and the methodology page lists every compensation type we accept (per-click and per-qualified-consult only, never per-prescription).
Are compounded GLP-1 medications legal?
Yes, when prescribed by a licensed clinician and prepared by a state-licensed compounding pharmacy. Compounded versions are not FDA-approved (unlike brand-name Wegovy, Ozempic, Mounjaro, or Zepbound), but they are legally prepared at 503A pharmacies under individual prescriptions or at 503B FDA-registered outsourcing facilities. The legal landscape has evolved through 2025-2026; many telehealth providers offer both compounded and brand-name options. The FDA has not yet acted on most compounded telehealth platforms, but Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk have filed lawsuits against several compounders over advertising claims.
How do you choose which providers to evaluate?
We start with the highest-trafficked telehealth platforms in each category (compounded GLP-1, brand-name GLP-1, longevity clinics, peptide compounding) and work down. Reader suggestions are prioritized in the next review cycle, email us via /contact with a name and a link.
Why is one provider ranked higher than another?
Because their weighted rubric score is higher. The score combines six dimensions with public weights: licensure (20%), accreditation (20%), transparency (20%), product quality (15%), pricing (15%), and customer service (10%). Each provider profile breaks down their score per dimension with a rationale, so you can see exactly which dimensions drove the ranking and disagree with specific scores if you want.
How often do you update this directory?
Public-record checks (state license, accreditation status, FDA warning letters) every quarter. The full Tier-3 questionnaire annually for active providers, and immediately whenever a major event happens (recall, regulatory action, ownership change, lawsuit). Each provider profile shows a "last verified" date so you can see how fresh the information is.
I had a bad experience with a provider you listed. What now?
Email us at /contact with details. If it's a one-off we note it and watch for patterns. If it's representative of broader issues, the listing comes down or gets re-scored. We'd rather de-list a provider than defend one we shouldn't have listed.
What if I have commercial insurance, should I still use these providers?
It depends. Compounded GLP-1 medications aren't covered by insurance regardless of provider, the cash-pay model is the model. If you have insurance that covers brand-name Wegovy, Ozempic, or Zepbound, providers with insurance concierge support (like Ro) become much more attractive because your effective monthly cost can drop to $0–$25 with savings cards and prior authorization. We try to flag these tradeoffs in each provider's "Best for / Look elsewhere if" section.
