Concierge MD review

What it is

ConciergeMD describes itself as a provider of in-home concierge medicine and longevity care, founded by Dr. Abe Malkin, its CEO, and Dr. Neal Kumar, its medical director. It offers house calls, urgent care, IV vitamin and NAD⁺ infusions, in-home lab draws, executive physicals and memberships from $499 to $1,199 a month, plus a Shipped To You line that includes weight-loss injections, testosterone, peptides, NAD⁺ and hair-loss treatment. Its terms list the medical practices behind it, among them Mobile Medical Services California Inc. in Los Angeles, Mobile Medical Parent LLC in Delaware, and a set of state practices that carry the Drip Hydration name. The terms are governed by California law. The service doesn't bill insurance, though its services are eligible for HSA and FSA funds. The sign-up form accepts addresses in every state and D.C., but the weight pages don't publish a state list.

How it works

You start by filling out the subscription form with your contact details, state, date of birth and chosen medication, and you pay at checkout. The program then calls for comprehensive lab testing, covering a metabolic panel, fasting lipids, thyroid, hemoglobin A1C and insulin, and a virtual consultation with a medical provider, who decides whether you're eligible and sets your dose. Most patients receive their medication within a week of speaking with the provider. Medication arrives as a self-injection kit, with a video showing how to inject. The company says every patient is also prescribed medication for nausea. The program describes eligibility as a BMI of 25 or higher, a lower threshold than the usual 30, or 27 with a related condition, and lists the standard exclusions, such as pregnancy, a history of medullary thyroid cancer or recent pancreatitis. If a clinical review finds you ineligible, you receive a full refund.

Pricing transparency

Compounded semaglutide is $199 a month and includes a shipment every 90 days if you're medically approved. Compounded tirzepatide is $299 a month with a shipment every 60 days. Brand-name Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro and Zepbound are each listed at $1,999 a month. The sign-up form labels the treatment choice with a four-month minimum, and the FAQ repeats that subscriptions carry a four-month minimum, so plan on at least $796 for semaglutide or $1,196 for tirzepatide. Lab costs aren't included; the page notes that most PPO insurance plans cover them. Add-ons at checkout include sermorelin for $299, NAD⁺ for $249 and a lipotropic injection for $199. Coupon discounts apply to the first month only. To cancel, you email the weight-loss team at the address its FAQ gives. Under its terms, the company doesn't accept returns or guarantee refunds on any product once it has left the pharmacy, and weight-loss medication is named in that clause.

Branded vs compounded

The program's own medications are compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide, each combined with either glycine or a form of vitamin B12, as weekly injections. The FAQ says they're made by state-licensed sterile compounding pharmacies or FDA-registered 503B outsourcing facilities, without naming them. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved, and the FDA doesn't review them for safety, effectiveness or quality. One FAQ answer calls the two medications "FDA-approved active ingredients," which is true of the molecules but not of the compounded products. The weight-loss figures it gives are modest and come without a source: around 5% of starting weight for many clients, and up to 10% over 12 weeks. Brand-name options are offered at a cash price far above the manufacturers' self-pay programs. A search of the FDA warning-letter database under Concierge MD, its site name and Drip Hydration returned no letters. The site doesn't display a LegitScript seal.

Pros and watch-outs

The evidence behind what Concierge MD prescribes

We grade the molecules, not the marketing. Here is what the human data actually shows for each thing on their menu.

• What the semaglutide weight-loss trials actually showed

  STEP 1, STEP 4, and SELECT — the efficacy, the rebound, and the cardiovascular signal, read straight from the primary literature.

• Tirzepatide vs semaglutide for weight loss: what the trials actually support

  Most comparisons are cross-trial. Only SURPASS-2 and SURMOUNT-5 randomized one drug against the other — here's the precise distinction.

• Compounded vs branded GLP-1: regulatory status, sourcing and the evidence

  Compounded GLP-1 isn't FDA-approved, the shortage exception behind it ended in 2025, the FDA moved against mass-marketed copies in 2026, and the trial data belong to the branded product. Here's the precise picture.
