How clinics are
ranked & listed

We believe patients should understand exactly how search results and listings are ordered. This page explains our methodology.

Default Sort

How search results
are ordered

Default ("Relevance") sort: Clinics with Premium listings appear first, followed by all other clinics sorted by Google patient rating (highest to lowest). You can change the sort order at any time using the dropdown on the search page.

Other sort options: "Highest Rated" sorts purely by Google rating. "Most Reviews" sorts by review count. "Name (A-Z)" sorts alphabetically. None of these are influenced by paid placement.

City and state pages follow the same default logic: Premium clinics appear first, then remaining clinics by rating.

Paid Placement

What "Featured"
means

Featured Clinic badge: Clinics with a paid Premium listing ($99/month) receive a "Featured Clinic" label on their card and appear in the "Featured Clinics" section at the top of city and state pages. This placement is always visually labeled so patients know it is promoted.

What premium does NOT affect: Patient reviews, medication data, pricing information, and editorial content are never influenced by paid relationships. A clinic's Google rating, review count, and verified data are displayed identically whether the listing is free or premium.

What premium does affect: Default search sort position, presence in the "Featured Clinics" section, and a highlighted card style. That is the full extent of paid influence on the site.

Badges

What the labels
mean

Featured Clinic: The clinic has a paid Premium listing. Placement is promoted.

Verified Listing: The clinic owner has claimed their profile and can update their own information. Claiming is free.

Google Verified: The clinic has a confirmed Google Business listing that we cross-reference for address, phone, hours, and reviews.

Researched: Medication data was found by reviewing the clinic's official website.

Unclaimed: The clinic has not been claimed by its owner. Data comes from public sources (Google Places, website scraping). The information may be less current.

Data Sources

Where clinic data
comes from

Google Places API: Business name, address, phone, hours, photos, patient rating, and review count. This is our primary source for contact information and location data.

Clinic website scraping: Medications prescribed, telehealth availability, pricing, and clinic descriptions. We review each clinic's official website to confirm GLP-1 prescribing details.

Owner-provided data: When a clinic owner claims their listing, they can update medications, pricing, hours, insurance, photos, and their description. Owner-provided data is labeled as such for transparency.

When data from multiple sources conflicts, we prioritize owner-provided data first, then clinic website data, then Google Places data. Each field shows its source where applicable.

Freshness

How often data
is updated

Clinic data is refreshed on a rolling basis. Each listing shows a "Data last verified" date indicating when its information was last checked or updated. Claimed clinics can update their profiles at any time through their owner portal.

Directory-wide data was last refreshed: March 2026.
