About Tried and True Weightloss

What is Tried and True Weightloss?

Tried and True Weightloss LLC is a provider-led medical weight loss practice at 69 N Wren Dr, Suite 2D in Pittsburgh, PA 15243. Weight loss with GLP-1 medications is its main service, and it also offers metabolic and hormonal support, IV therapy, TTW Wellness Boosters and aesthetic services. The prescriber is Amira I. Quarles, CRNP, MSN. In-person visits are by appointment, Monday through Saturday, with flexible times from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM ET on request. Telemedicine covers patients in Pennsylvania and South Dakota.

The medications it names are semaglutide, tirzepatide and liraglutide, with the brand names Wegovy, Ozempic, Mounjaro, Zepbound and Saxenda. In its own words: "We specialize in FDA-approved medications, including Semaglutide (Wegovy, Ozempic), Tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound), and Liraglutide (Saxenda)." Its medication notice, though, describes the semaglutide and tirzepatide as compounded formulations from licensed compounding pharmacies that may not be affiliated with or made by the brand-name companies. Those two descriptions do not line up, so ask which one applies to your prescription. Its Google listing shows a rating of 5 from 44 reviews.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices. The consultation is advertised as free. It does not say whether medication is included in any price, and it does not say whether insurance is accepted, so both are open questions. The cancellation policy sets a $100.00 charge for appointments cancelled at or greater than 48 hours in advance. That is the same window the clinic asks patients to cancel within, so the wording is unclear. Ask exactly when the fee applies before you book.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs your prescription and who you reach between visits. Ask whether the medication is the brand-name product or a compounded version, which pharmacy fills it, and how that fits with the FDA-approved wording. If a monthly price is quoted, ask whether it includes the medication and any dose changes. Ask what each follow-up visit and lab test costs, and whether labs are required before you start. Ask whether insurance is billed in any way and whether the clinic takes HSA cards. Finally, ask how you cancel and exactly how far ahead you must cancel to avoid the $100.00 charge.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you are paying cash, you live in Pittsburgh or can meet by video from Pennsylvania or South Dakota, and you are comfortable with compounded medication from a partner pharmacy once you have clear answers in writing. It is a weaker fit if you need the brand-name product, want insurance billing, or need a published price before your first visit.
