Applied on 8/29 .The website says that I would be contacted in 24 hours..the portal shows processing and it was 72 hours and I heard nothing..finally called got customer service after 3 calls..was told nothing was available for my state NC ..The rep scheduled an appointment 2 weeks out to speak with a clinican..so far I am highly disappointed with the service...quick to charge your credit card but fail on everything else..wish I had read your reviews before I ordered..read all the reviews about not refunding even where the meds come damaged!!

We’re sorry that your experience has been so disappointing. We understand how frustrating it is to expect a contact within 24 hours, wait 72 hours without hearing anything, and then have to make multiple calls just to learn that an appointment isn’t available in your state for another two weeks. We also understand your concern about being charged before you were able to move forward with your care.
We’d appreciate the opportunity to review your account and understand what happened with your application and appointment scheduling. Please reach out to our support team with your details so we can look into this and properly address your concerns.

Support lies to me about having someone…
Support lies to me about having someone call me in 24 to 48 hours. No one ever calls. I was billed $129 on August 14, 2026.
I spoke to a medical provider August 27, 2026 and was approved for my medication. She said it would ship out to me in 2 to 4 business days. It never shipped. My account has been processing waiting for approval from medical provider for 6 business days. I don't need this stress in my life. I will file a dispute with my bank for a full refund. I never received my medication. I want a full refund ASAP. Go with a different company because this company is a sham business.
Response from EmbodySep 8, 2026
We’re sorry you’ve had to repeatedly follow up and that the communication you received did not match what actually happened. We understand how frustrating it is to be promised a callback within 24–48 hours, receive approval from a medical provider with an expected 2–4 business day shipping window, and then still see your order sitting in processing without receiving your medication.
We’d appreciate the opportunity to review your order, approval, and refund request to understand where the process broke down. Please reach out to our support team with your order details so we can properly investigate the delay and address your request.

⭐ Disappointed With the Delays and Lack of Clear Communication
I signed up with Embody on August 30 and was genuinely excited to start my journey with them. Their pricing for tirzepatide looked affordable, and I was hoping this would be a company I could stay with long-term.
Unfortunately, five days later, my prescription is still showing as “Pending Medical Review,” meaning it has not even been reviewed by a healthcare provider yet.
I have called multiple times to check the status. For the last couple of days, I have repeatedly been told to “wait another 24–48 hours,” but no one has been able to give me a clear answer about when my medical review will actually take place or when my medication will ship.
This is especially disappointing because the online advertising indicated that orders could be shipped within approximately two business days of the initial setup. I understand that companies can experience higher-than-normal volume, backorders, or delays, but if that is what is happening, I would much rather receive honest and proactive communication about it instead of repeatedly being told to wait another 24–48 hours.
For comparison, because I was becoming concerned about the delay, I signed up with Good Life. Within two days, my information was reviewed, my prescription was reviewed by a provider, and my medication has already shipped.
At this point, I’m unfortunately not satisfied with my experience with Embody. The biggest issue for me isn’t simply having to wait—it’s the lack of communication and not having a clear timeline. My account still says “Pending Medical Review,” and when I call, I don’t really receive an answer beyond being told to continue waiting.
I was genuinely hoping for a positive long-term experience with this company because their pricing appealed to me. Hopefully they improve their processing times and, more importantly, their communication with new patients. Right now, I’m basically left feeling like whenever it gets reviewed and shipped, it gets reviewed and shipped, which isn’t the experience I expected when signing up.

We’re sorry that your first experience with Embody has been disappointing, especially since you joined with the expectation of starting your treatment promptly and potentially staying with us long-term. We understand that the biggest frustration isn’t simply the wait—it’s not knowing when your medical review will actually happen or when your medication will ship.
Thank you for sharing such detailed feedback. We’ll take your concerns about processing times and communication seriously. We’d appreciate the opportunity to review your account and see what is causing the delay. Please reach out to our support team with your order details so we can look into your status and make sure you receive a clear update.

I created an order
I created an order, and it was delivered, except the vial of GLP_1. Once I received the incomplete order and reached out to customer service both via email and by calling, I finally received a generic email 8 days later telling me to take a picture of everything I received. They had a list, by that time, I had kept most of the proof except the physical box. Now again, 6 more days and several emails, I have not heard from them and if I would receive my vial, which I had paid for. To this day, I'm still waiting to hear from them.
Please be careful when ordering from them, if all goes well, I'm sure they are helpful, but if there is a problem, you are all alone and have lost your money. Don't trust the reviews, do your research and be careful when it comes to this company.
Response from EmbodySep 8, 2026
We’re sorry you received an incomplete order and then had to wait so long just to get a response. We understand how frustrating it must be to receive everything except the vial you paid for, provide the requested documentation, and then still be left without an update after multiple follow-ups.
We’d like the opportunity to review your order and the previous communications so we can determine what happened and make sure your missing vial is properly addressed. Please reach out to our support team with your order details so we can investigate and help resolve this.

Absolutely the worst experience ever
Absolutely the worst experience ever. They refuse to call me, they refuse to make my appointment so the medication is approved, and they refuse to return my money. Do not waste your time with this company. Plenty of good ones out there and this is not one of them! I am going on day 4 of getting the run around and I am over it!
Response from EmbodySep 8, 2026
We’re sorry you’ve had to spend the past several days trying to get answers and still feel like you’re being sent in circles. We understand how frustrating it is to be waiting for an appointment needed for medication approval while also feeling that your calls aren’t being returned and your refund request isn’t being addressed.
We’d appreciate the opportunity to review your account, appointment status, and refund request so we can understand what happened and make sure your concerns are properly addressed. Please reach out to our support team with your details so we can look into this further.

I tried to cancel my order before it…
I tried to cancel my order before it was filled. They would not cancel and would not issue a refund. I had to dispute the charge with my credit card company. I requested to speak to a supervisor since Embody’s representative said they couldn’t help me. I was told that a supervisor would contact me within two days and never heard from them again.

We sincerely apologize for the frustration and inconvenience you experienced when trying to cancel your order and the subsequent need to dispute the charge. Please reach out to our support team with your order details so we can investigate what happened and properly address your concerns.

CRITICAL MEDICAL SAFETY WARNING
CRITICAL MEDICAL SAFETY WARNING: Do not trust Embody (Whitecoat PC)I want to warn anyone currently using Tirzepatide or any other weight loss medication through Embody.
They are completely incompetent, and they engage in dangerous practices with patient prescriptions.I was on a stable, advanced regimen of Tirzepatide 7.5 mg compounded with Vitamin B6 from my previous trusted pharmacy (Casa Pharma RX).
When I transferred to Embody on August 27, I filled out their official clinical intake form perfectly. I explicitly stated my treatment history, selected the option to stay on my current 7.5 mg dose, uploaded photos of my previous vials, and used the "notes to the doctor" section to demand that my formula remain exactly the same to prevent a gap in my healthcare.
They committed severe clinical and administrative negligence:They completely disregarded my medical records and arbitrarily downgraded my prescription to 6.375 mg in their system.
They dispensed a totally different chemical compound: Tirzepatide with L-Carnitine instead of the authorized Vitamin B6 formula I requested.They charged my credit card $378.00 upfront for a "personalized program" but provided zero personalized care.
No doctor or clinician ever called me to discuss or get my informed consent before changing my active ingredients.By sending me an incorrect, useless compound that I cannot safely inject, they completely disrupted the continuity of my medical treatment, leaving me without my medication and at risk of adverse health events.
I gave them a 48-hour deadline to contact me or provide a prepaid cold-chain return label, and they completely ignored me—instead sending automated texts telling me to go to the emergency room to evade their shipping error. I had to log into the portal to cancel the subscription myself and open a formal dispute for commercial fraud with Capital One.
Do not risk your health, your money, or your safety with Embody.
They do not read patient profiles and will ship whatever they want.
Response from EmbodySep 8, 2026
We’re sorry this experience left you feeling concerned about your treatment and unable to trust the process. We understand why receiving a prescription that differed from what you expected, particularly after providing your treatment history and requesting continuity, would be deeply concerning. We’re sorry that your attempts to get clarification and assistance did not result in the timely response you were expecting.
We’d like the opportunity to review your case, including your intake information, prescription, treatment history, and communications with our team, so we can understand exactly what occurred and address your concerns appropriately. Please contact our support team with your account details so we can ensure this is reviewed by the appropriate clinical and support teams.
