Florida Weight Loss MD review
A surgical practice rather than a telehealth brand: a Hollywood, Florida bariatric center with a named surgeon, offering sleeves and bypasses alongside the injections, and same-day appointments. Semaglutide is $69 a week or $179 a month; tirzepatide starts at $279. Two things to price carefully. The package labels overstate their own length — "2.5-Month (10 Weeks)" is 2.3 months — and the practice markets retatrutide, which is not approved anywhere for anything.

How we scored Florida Weight Loss MD
Each factor is read off Florida Weight Loss MD's published pricing, disclosures and intake flow, and the six roll up into the 56/100 Rx-Readiness Score on the same weighted six-factor framework we apply to every provider — never nudged by whether a provider pays us.
Tiered or opaque — the true monthly is hard to pin down up front.
Limited or state-gated availability — confirm yours first.
Both molecules, though pricing on one isn't cleanly posted.
Exit terms are the weak point: lock-in, notice periods, or a cancellation path that isn't published.
The hardest start to fit around a workday — a scheduled visit, or no published answer either way.
Workable turnaround, but not the quickest route to a first dose.

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 address
- The full surgical ladder alongside medication — sleeve, bypass, revision, balloon
- 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, in more than one language
The caveats
- The package labels overstate their 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 not FDA-approved for any indication
- The page carrying its GLP-1 pricing is written for Newark, New Jersey
- Prices are all "from", and dosage and pricing vary after medical evaluation
- No list of states served for the telehealth side
- The largest figure on the site, $9,299, is gastric sleeve surgery

The medications Florida Weight Loss MD prescribes
Florida Weight Loss MD prescribes semaglutide and tirzepatide. Availability of both does not guarantee that switching is appropriate or that a new evaluation is unnecessary. The provider record lists access to FDA-approved brand products; confirm the exact medication and coverage with the clinician.
An oral or sublingual option is listed. Confirm the exact product: an FDA-approved oral medicine and a compounded oral formulation do not have the same approval status or supporting evidence.
Where Florida Weight Loss MD fits — and where it doesn't — for working moms
Right for you if…
- the monthly line on your budget is a real barrier and you want a low, predictable number.
Not your best option if…
- you have to run it through insurance — this is cash-pay, as most of the market is.
Trust, safety, and the fine print
Before enrolling with Florida Weight Loss MD, confirm the clinician, the dispensing pharmacy, and how to reach the care team between refills. As with any compounded GLP-1, the most useful thing working moms 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.
For working moms, pregnancy plans, breastfeeding and other medicines belong in the clinical discussion before treatment. Ask your prescriber for the guidance that applies to your exact product and circumstances.
The bottom line
Choose Florida Weight Loss MD only when the ongoing cost and care arrangements fit your needs. Ask for the next charge, the cancellation deadline, and a contact for treatment questions before paying. Compare the same drug, supply period, and commitment across providers.
The bottom line for working moms
Best for: A South Florida schedule that wants a surgeon available, and will price the packages by the week rather than the label.
