Medvi GLP-1 telehealth experience breakdown

“Within a few days, I heard back from a licensed provider... Most of the communication happened through secure messaging.”

“I did have some mild nausea when my dose increased, but it was manageable and improved after a short time... Around the middle of the year, progress slowed and I hit a plateau. I reached out through the messaging system, and my provider adjusted my dose, which helped me start moving again.”

u/Canadian_Insulin

“Clinically speaking, losing around 10 to 15 percent of starting body weight over a year is very much within the expected and healthy range for semaglutide treatment.”

My 2026 MEDVI review after using it for a full year

“The first thing I noticed was that my appetite felt different in a calm manageable way rather than feeling like I was constantly fighting hunger.”

“Over the course of the year I lost just over 40 pounds and more importantly I've been able to maintain that loss without feeling burnt out.”

Key points

  • Medvi is legitimate. Licensed providers hold real video visits, the medical intake can end in a decline, and the company holds 4.3 on Trustpilot from 14,987 reviews, a volume that is very hard to fake.
  • September 2026 reviews still praise named nurses and providers. 4-star reviewers ask for more flexible subscriptions and a dependable video connection; 1-star reviewers describe a renewal without notice, a refused refund and a wrong-dose shipment.
  • Medvi's pricing is all-inclusive and HSA/FSA-approved: compounded semaglutide at $99/month (reg. $199) and compounded tirzepatide at $166/month (reg. $299), with no price increase as the dose rises.
  • Fair criticisms: Medvi is not the cheapest (welludr $49, embody $69), it prescribes compounded medication only, it bills monthly only, and whether its support premium pays off is a personal judgment.

What do 14,987 Trustpilot reviews say about Medvi?

Quick answerMedvi is a legitimate telehealth weight-loss provider. Its strongest evidence is public: 4.3 out of 5 on Trustpilot from 14,987 reviews, a sample far too large to manufacture and big enough that repeated themes carry weight.

Most legitimacy questions have to be answered with indirect clues. With Medvi you can start with the reviews themselves, and the dominant theme is not price. It is the people. "The phone call was very thorough and everything went smoothly" (Randy). "My provider was very friendly. She answered all my questions very thoughtfully and thoroughly" (Ashley). "She took her time, answered any questions" (Raymond). "Video visit was made very easy and reminders were sent right before my visit" (Martin).

Thorough calls, patient providers and easy scheduling, repeated across thousands of reviews, are the signature of a working clinical service rather than a checkout page with a physician's name attached.

GLP-1 (Compounded)

“MEDVi offers a lot of assistance with the RN, Provider. and Coaching Support - I like that assistance. However, they need to ensure for a solid audio-video connection to see whom you're speaking with (there's too much FRAUD going on today) especially when it comes to your health. It's very important to see and get there credentials/whom you're speaking with about your health - you know, the HIPPA ACT Policy. Otherwise, I really enjoy this Rx, it really curves your appetite. My PRAYER is NO side effects so that I can continue and accomplish my goal. I started this program in March 2026. It cost too much not to receive stellar service.”

Caution is advised

“Caution is advised. The operational efficiency of this company is significantly lagging, causing an impediment to my regular medication intake schedule. Regrettably, their customer support inadequacies persist, coupled with a lack of responsibility for service deficiencies. In addition, their pricing surpasses that of competitors. It is my recommendation to refrain from engaging with this establishment due to their unreliability in ensuring timely delivery of essential medications for weekly GLP-1 dosages.”

Lots of confusion and delays

“I transitioned to Medvi from another company and have been using GLP-1s for over a year. Medvi didn't review my history and continuously sent me a level 1 prescription when I needed a level 5. It took weeks to get each one resolved, including multiple calls/emails with customer service, and having to explain why I didn't want to pay more money for the "extra prescriptions". I paid for three months, but will not be renewing after these months are over.”

I signed up for medication and was...scammed

“I signed up for medication and was charged without ever having spoken to a medical professional. They ordered medication that was an incorrect dose. I met with their medical provider and she agreed to change to the correct dose. The change was never made. I called numerous times to correct the problem, I was assured that it was corrected. It never was. I called to cancel the order and request a refund. I was told I would have a refund in 5-10 days. I didn't receive confirmation of the refund and was getting notified that the prescription was being processed. I called again and was told to ignore the notification that it was cancelled and I would receive a refund. The order was shipped to me. It is not labeled with the correct dosage and the company is now refusing the refund I was promised. I have been on the phone and in email communication almost daily. DO NOT DO BUSINESS with MEDVI. They are not trustworthy. They will lie to you and refuse to honor their word.”

Medvi shady practices.

“Medvi promised GLP 1 medication for $179.00 monthly with a prepaid yearly subscription. Unfortunately the term was not a complete year. After just 11 shipments they renewed my subscription without any advance notice. They did not give me a choice. The amount I was charged previously was $2,148.01. If you divide this amount by 11 it does not come out to $179.00. When I did discover the charge applied to my card, I contacted Medvi that same day to cancel my subscription. They replied that they have cancelled it the following August in 2027. They would not allow me to cancel the current subscription. Not until I filed complaints with the Better Business Bureau, the FTC, and my State Attorney General did they finally refund my subscription. I would not deal with this company. Even though the medication was supposed to be monthly, the dosage that I was prescribed was two injections weekly. The dosage amount and the amount that they sent did not last for 8 injections for the month.”

Each review is quoted word for word from a public Trustpilot page, with the reviewer’s name shortened. It reflects one customer’s experience: a weight-loss result someone mentions is personal, not typical, and your results may differ. Trustpilot is a trademark of Trustpilot A/S, which has no affiliation with Top Weight Loss.

Medvi's process: intake, video visit, then monitoring

Medvi follows the sequence regulators expect from legitimate telehealth:

  1. Medical intake. You report your history, current medications and goals.
  2. Licensed provider review. This is a genuine gate. Providers can and do decline patients for whom GLP-1 treatment is not appropriate.
  3. Free shipping. If prescribed, medication is shipped to your home at no charge.
  4. Ongoing monitoring. Scheduled check-ins, dose changes handled by the provider, and access to your care team between visits.

Two points stand out. Reviewers describe video visits, so you actually see and talk with your provider, a higher bar than the questionnaire-only intake some competitors use. And every plan includes a dietician and care coaching, which is uncommon at this price and clinically useful: GLP-1s change what and how much you eat, and most people do better with guidance through that shift.

Does Medvi have hidden fees or dose-based price hikes?

In this market, legitimacy problems usually show up as pricing tricks rather than fake medicine: teaser rates that jump at higher doses, membership fees layered over the drug, or extra charges at checkout. Medvi avoids all three:

PlanMedicationWhat you pay
GLP-1Compounded semaglutide, weekly$99/month promo (reg. $199), all-inclusive
GLP-1 + GIPCompounded tirzepatide, weekly$166/month promo (reg. $299), all-inclusive

"All-inclusive" at Medvi means medication, provider consultations, monitoring, the dietician and coaching, and free shipping in a single price. Medvi is also HSA/FSA approved, so pre-tax money can pay for it. Full plan detail is in our Medvi review.

Medvi reviews from September 2026: 5, 4 and 1 star

We reopened Medvi's Trustpilot page on September 25, 2026 and read the latest reviews instead of the headline score.

5 stars: reviewers name the people who helped them. "Theresa was thoughtful and explained all of her observations." "Nurse was very informative and pleasant to talk with." "My provider was very helpful. She listened to my concerns and made proper adjustments." "Tomica, the company rep was outstanding." Some carry Trustpilot's "Invited" label, meaning Medvi requested the review after an appointment; others were unprompted. The theme is unchanged from August: customers are rating the clinical contact.

4 stars: the most practical feedback. One customer "at first had a hard time canceling my monthly subscription, but they did finally get that taken care of" and would like "an every other month, or just buy as needed" option; Medvi only bills monthly. Another likes the RN, provider and coaching support but wants "a solid audio-video connection to see whom you're speaking with" and to see their credentials. Shorter ones: "Quick, easy, to the point." "Very personal, communicated all needs." Medvi answers these publicly.

1 star: few, but serious and specific.

  • A prepaid annual plan renewed after 11 shipments without notice and was refunded only after BBB, FTC and state attorney-general complaints.
  • A charge taken before any clinician contact, then a wrong-dose shipment and a refused refund.
  • A transferring patient repeatedly sent a starter dose instead of the maintenance dose.
  • Contact that stopped after five months, with no cancellation confirmation across three calls.

One reviewer also says Medvi's tirzepatide tops out at 11.125 mg, which we have not verified. These complaints are a small slice of 14,987 reviews, but they group around billing, renewals and cancellation. Read the renewal terms before prepaying and get the cancellation route in writing.

Medvi GLP-1 plans and prices

Every plan Medvi publishes, with its terms listed under each price.

Is GLP-1 Treatment Right for You?

GLP-1 medication is prescription-only: a licensed clinician has to decide it is appropriate, and it is not a fit for everyone. Side effects are possible, and they tend to show up in the first few weeks while your body adapts.

Results are usually best when the medication is paired with simple daily habits, such as balanced meals and regular movement.

For both safety and lasting progress, pick a provider that screens you properly before prescribing and keeps following up once treatment starts.

Where Medvi falls short on price, medication and flexibility

  • Not the cheapest semaglutide. Even at the $99/month promo (regularly $199), welludr sells the same active ingredient for $49 and embody for $69. At the promo price, Medvi's support premium is $30-40 a month; at the $199 regular price it is about $130. Whether that is worth paying is your call.
  • Compounded only. If you want brand-name Ozempic or Zepbound, you need a provider with a brand shelf, such as altRx.
  • A narrower menu. Medvi offers fewer medications than platforms that also prescribe non-GLP-1 options.

Verdict: Medvi is legit, with a high-touch price tag

Medvi is legitimate and has more public proof than nearly any competitor: licensed providers on real video visits, ongoing monitoring, transparent all-inclusive pricing, HSA/FSA approval, and 14,987 Trustpilot reviews averaging 4.3 that describe the same thorough, personal care again and again.

Legitimate does not mean perfect. The 1-star reviews about renewals, refunds and cancellation are real, and monthly-only billing is a true limitation for anyone who wants to buy as needed. The real question is whether you want mid-market pricing for high-touch support on a monthly plan. If you do, Medvi is one of the strongest versions of that offer.

How we checked Medvi, and how to check it yourself

Our sources. Medvi's Trustpilot profile, reread on September 25, 2026: a claimed profile (January 2025) in the Weight Loss Service category, showing 4.3 from 14,987 reviews as of October 12, 2026. We read the newest reviews at every star level, unfiltered, and quote them as written with reviewer names shortened. The prescribing process, video visits, dietician and coaching come from Medvi's published care model and from its reviewers' accounts. Prices come from our verified registry, checked against Medvi's site, and are the published cash-pay rates on that date.

What we could not confirm. The material we reviewed does not name the pharmacy that fills Medvi's compounded prescriptions. One reviewer's claim that tirzepatide tops out at 11.125 mg is unconfirmed. We cannot audit medical quality; a Trustpilot score reflects customer experience, not clinical outcomes. We may earn a commission if you sign up through a link here; that does not change what we report.

A five-minute self-check before you sign up with Medvi:

  1. Open Medvi's Trustpilot page, sort by newest, and read the 1-star and 4-star reviews before the 5-star ones. Check whether the billing, renewal and cancellation themes are still current.
  2. Ask support which pharmacy fills the prescription, whether it is a 503A pharmacy or 503B outsourcing facility, and whether it compounds the base form of semaglutide rather than a salt form. A legitimate provider can answer in one sentence.
  3. During the video visit, ask for the provider's name and licensing state, then look them up on that state's medical or nursing board site. It takes about a minute.
  4. Read the renewal and cancellation terms before you prepay anything, for the reasons the 1-star reviews show.
  5. Ask what you will pay at your maintenance dose. Medvi says pricing is all-inclusive with no dose-based increases; get that confirmed in writing before your first charge.

This article is general information, not medical advice. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved products; ask a licensed clinician whether GLP-1 treatment suits you.
