Provider review
TOM Weight Loss review
Its named physician's NPI checks out as active in the federal registry
TOM Weight Loss is a solo-physician practice where every patient sees the same doctor directly, confirmed live: Dr. Tran Nam Le, NPI 1194212258, independently confirmed as Active in the federal NPPES registry as of this pass, with practice addresses in Houston, TX and Salt Lake City/Ogden, UT matching the site's claimed Texas-and-Utah-only footprint. Compounded semaglutide runs $199/mo flat and tirzepatide $249/mo flat, both confirmed live, with quarterly billing available for savings. The operating entity, Texas Obesity Medicine PLLC, is confirmed live. The NPI registry's own taxonomy codes list "General Practice" and "Preventive Medicine, Occupational Medicine" rather than "Obesity Medicine" specifically — normal, since ABOM board certification isn't always reflected as an NPI taxonomy code, but the registry alone doesn't independently corroborate the site's ABOM claim beyond confirming the NPI itself is real and active.
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
TOM Weight Loss is genuinely different from most providers on this list: a solo-physician model where you see the same named doctor every time, not a rotating pool of anonymous clinicians. That physician's NPI checks out as active and real in the federal registry, confirmed independently on this pass — a rare, verifiable specific. The tradeoff is geographic: this is a two-state practice, Texas and Utah only, by design, with a deliberately capped patient count around 500.
TOM Weight Loss is not ranked on any of our boards. 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 Texas or Utah and want to see the same named physician every visit
- You want a physician you can independently verify through the federal NPI registry
- You want flat-rate pricing with no dose-escalation surcharge
Look elsewhere if
- You live outside Texas or Utah — this practice doesn't serve you
- You want a named compounding pharmacy partner — none is disclosed
- You want insurance accepted — this is cash-pay only
What it actually costs
What they advertise
Compounded semaglutide: $199/mo flat, confirmed live on tomweightloss.com.
What you actually pay, month to month
The $199 figure is for semaglutide only; tirzepatide runs higher, $249/mo flat, confirmed live, with quarterly billing offering savings up to 20%.
The commitment trap
The $199 headline is the semaglutide price only — tirzepatide, offered on the same site, runs $249/mo instead.

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
Texas and Utah only, confirmed live.
The honest cons
The part they would rather you skipped
TOM Weight Loss deliberately caps its patient count around 500 so every patient sees the same named physician, Dr. Tran Le, confirmed live — a genuinely different model than the rotating-clinician-pool most telehealth providers on this list use, but it also means the practice is only available in two states.
- Serves only Texas and Utah
- Compounding pharmacy never named
- Cash-pay only, no insurance accepted
- Deliberately capped patient count may mean limited availability
None of this is unique to TOM Weight Loss — the whole category shares it. What we hold against a provider is the part it hides, and the ways vendors hide things are catalogued in our vendor red-flags guide.
How it compares
The providers we rank on our semaglutide provider ranking, in the order that board ranks them. TOM Weight Loss 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.
- BHBodybuilding Health+One of the deepest peptide catalogues here, and the loosest one
- Enhance MDWrites a flat-price-at-every-dose policy down — and charges near the top for it
- RxSpan MDOral tablet only, at a real $179 monthly rate
- Direct MedsThe plainest price mechanics on either board, from a company with an FDA warning letter
- Synergy RxPublishes a starting number, and nothing about what it commits you to
- Sprout HealthA $150 markdown the site never explains, and a semaglutide price quoted by the quarter
- Strut HealthInjection or troche, but $119 is the auto-refill price only
- MadeMedPrices are published — but there is no monthly option at all

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.
