Provider review
TeleSlim Clinic review
Its own branding says 'Chicago Weight Loss Clinic,' not a 6-state telehealth service
$99 for the first visit and $99 a month after, with medication billed separately and never priced on its own. Its own title tag calls it a "Chicago Weight Loss Clinic" — we found nothing on the site supporting the six-state coverage it has been credited with.
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
TeleSlim Clinic's two named physicians independently check out as real, active Illinois-licensed clinicians, including one with a bariatric-medicine specialty match, but its own branding and Chicago address suggest a single-city practice, not the broader multi-state telehealth service our earlier note described, and its LegitScript badge is self-hosted rather than served from LegitScript itself.
TeleSlim Clinic 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're in the Chicago area and want a physician-led practice with a bariatric-medicine specialist on staff
- You want transparent, itemized membership pricing across multiple commitment lengths
- You want a named dispensing pharmacy (Rush Pharmacy) disclosed directly
Look elsewhere if
- You're relying on a broader multi-state coverage claim — this review found no evidence of service beyond Illinois
- You want to independently verify a LegitScript certification via a live-served seal — this one is self-hosted on a third-party platform
- You want medication cost clearly itemized separately from the membership fee — it's billed separately but not clearly published as its own figure
What it actually costs
What they advertise
$99 initial visit (promotional, normally $199) plus $99/month membership; 3-month ($269), 6-month ($499), and annual ($899) plans also available. Medication cost is billed separately and not clearly published.
What you actually pay, month to month
$99/month membership fee is confirmed; medication cost is billed separately and its specific figure isn't clearly published anywhere.
The commitment trap
The $99/month membership fee covers physician oversight only — it does not include medication cost, which is billed separately and not clearly itemized.
Money you will meet later
- Medication cost is billed separately from the $99/month membership fee

What is included
The cheapest headline number in this category is often the one with the least attached to it. Here is what TeleSlim Clinic bundles in, and what it does not.
Clinician consult
Visit with a named, NPI-verified physician (Dr
Diala Alatassi or Dr. Jihad Kudsi) — Dr. Alatassi's primary specialty is Internal Medicine, Bariatric Medicine.
Bloodwork / labs
Not published.
Follow-ups and dose changes
Physician oversight included in the $99/month membership.
Human support
Nothing published beyond named physicians.
Injection supplies
Not published.
Shipping
Not published.
Pharmacy, labs and oversight
The pharmacy
Rush Pharmacy, named directly.
Oversight
Physician oversight included in the $99/month membership.
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
Branding and physical address point to Chicago, IL specifically; this review found no evidence of the broader '6 states' coverage our earlier note recorded.
The honest cons
The part they would rather you skipped
TeleSlim Clinic's own site branding in its page title, reads 'Chicago Weight Loss Clinic' with a single Chicago address — this review found no evidence anywhere on the site of the broader multi-state coverage our earlier note described.
- No evidence found of coverage beyond Illinois, despite a prior '6 states' hypothesis
- LegitScript badge is self-hosted on a third-party platform, not served from LegitScript
- Medication cost is billed separately from the membership fee and isn't clearly published
- Only two named physicians for the practice
None of this is unique to TeleSlim Clinic — 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. TeleSlim Clinic 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

Read this before you buy
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.
