Provider review
JumpstartMD review
It treats adolescents as young as 16 with medication management, per its own FAQ
Fourteen physical California clinics and a $99 first visit, discounted from $379 — after that the price is only available by phone. Its FAQ says it treats adolescents from age 16, including medication management, which is a different proposition from adult telehealth.
Straight talk: how we earn — some, not all, of these are affiliate links; start a program through one and we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Straight about the rest, too: the write-ups say what each provider is actually worth, and a commission does not change a word of them. Full disclosure here.

The verdict
JumpstartMD is a genuine, verifiable in-person medical practice with a real, licensed founder and a specifically named compounding pharmacy — rare disclosures here — but its ongoing program pricing is fully gated behind a phone call, and its own FAQ discloses it treats adolescents as young as 16 with medication management, a detail worth knowing before assuming this is strictly an adult-only program.
JumpstartMD is not ranked on any of our rankings. This is a standalone read of what the company publishes about itself — the providers we do rank in this category are on our semaglutide provider ranking. Nothing on this page is a performance claim — see the evidence review for what these compounds do and do not do.
Who it is for, and who it is not
A good fit if
- You live in the Bay Area, Sacramento-to-San-Jose corridor, or elsewhere in JumpstartMD's 14 California cities and want in-person visits
- You want a named compounding pharmacy (PerfectRx) disclosed before you commit
- You're comfortable calling for pricing rather than seeing it published online
Look elsewhere if
- You want to see ongoing program pricing before calling — it's never published
- You have Medicare or an HMO plan — neither is accepted
- You're outside California — there is no telehealth-only option; all locations are in-state
What it actually costs
What they advertise
Ongoing program pricing is not published anywhere — available only by calling. The initial visit is $99, discounted from a $379 list price.
What you actually pay, month to month
Pricing not published; the site states cost 'is based on the frequency of meetings and your overall health and wellness goals.'
The commitment trap
The $99 figure is a discounted first-visit rate, not an ongoing monthly cost — the undiscounted $379 list price it's compared against suggests the real program pricing is called in, not posted.

What is included
The cheapest headline number in this category is often the one with the least attached to it. Here is what JumpstartMD bundles in, and what it does not.
Clinician consult
Initial assessment with a physician-led team; founder Dr
Sean Bourke confirmed active via the federal NPI registry.
Bloodwork / labs
Not published.
Follow-ups and dose changes
In-person meeting frequency described as a factor in program pricing.
Human support
14 physical clinic locations across California with a virtual-visit option.
Injection supplies

Shipping

Pharmacy, labs and oversight
The pharmacy
PerfectRx, named directly with a phone number in the FAQ — the most specific pharmacy disclosure found here.
Oversight
In-person meeting frequency described as a factor in program pricing.
Compounded peptides are not FDA-approved products, and a 503A pharmacy compounds for a named patient while a 503B outsourcing facility manufactures in batches under CGMP. Neither is a quality guarantee on its own — a named facility is simply a fact you can check, and an unnamed “partner pharmacy network” is not. Our guide to verifying a certificate of analysis covers what to ask for.
Where you can get it
California only, across 14 physical clinic locations; no telehealth-only option for other states.
The honest cons
The part they would rather you skipped
JumpstartMD's own FAQ discloses it treats adolescents as young as 16, with parental consent, including medication management — worth knowing plainly before assuming this is strictly an adult weight-loss program.
- Ongoing program pricing is fully gated behind a phone call
- Treats adolescents as young as 16 with medication management, per its own FAQ
- Founder's registered federal specialty (Emergency Medicine) isn't obesity medicine specifically
- Doesn't accept Medicare or HMO plans
None of this is unique to JumpstartMD — the whole category shares it. What we hold against a provider is the part it hides, and the ways vendors hide things are cataloged in our vendor red-flags guide.
How it compares
The providers we rank on our semaglutide provider ranking, in the order that ranking ranks them. JumpstartMD is not among them: it is reviewed here, not ranked there, and we would rather show you the comparison than pretend the two are the same thing.
- COCollectiveThe cheapest medication price here, on a membership the headline omits
- CoreAge RxOne price that does not move when your dose does
- BHBodybuilding Health+The deep peptide catalog is gone; the GLP-1 pricing got better
- RxSpan MDOral tablet only, at a real $179 monthly rate
- Enhance MDWrites a flat-price-at-every-dose policy down — and charges near the top for it
- Found HealthInsurance-integrated, unlike every cash-only compounder here — but $99 needs a prepay
- Direct MedsThe plainest price mechanics on either ranking, from a company with an FDA warning letter
- Synergy RxPublishes a starting number, and nothing about what it commits you to

A provider comparison is half the decision. The other half is whether the compound does anything for you at all — and whether it is allowed where you compete. Growth-hormone secretagogues are banned in tested sport, year-round, and a prescription does not change that.
