The care coaching with Charlene was 5 star.
The reason the company didn’t get a 5 star is because I’m having issues getting my problem resolved. I asked to place my order on hold until I got back in town ahead of time and my order that needs to be refrigerated was shipped anyways and sat outside over a week. I reached out to Embody and was told I would be contacted by email in 24-48 hours. That was October 2nd and today is October 12th. A few days ago I was told once again I would hear from someone and still no email or call. I’m starting to feel this company doesn’t care enough about me as a customer and maybe I should switch because how long am I expected to go without being contacted or without my medication.

Hi Lashae,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are glad to hear that your experience with your care coach was so positive, but we are deeply sorry for the serious delay in communication and the issue with your shipment. It is completely understandable how frustrating it is to have your hold request missed, especially regarding temperature-sensitive items, and then to be left waiting for a follow up for so long.
You deserve timely responses and reliable support, especially when it comes to your health and routine. We truly appreciate your patience while we work to improve our follow up process and address these breakdown issues internally to ensure our patients feel supported and valued.

Took a couple days for a return call
Took a couple days for a return call. However when I did get a call back the representative explained the issue and was very helpful.

Poor communication
Last month my prescription was held up at the pharmacy for over a week making me miss an entire week of medication. This entire time my subscript I on was kept active. Over half that months subscription i had no medication. That is poor customer service. The subscription shojld have been paused. This month i just happen to log into embody and see my prescription had been in review for almost two weeks. I was never notified. I reached out asking what was going on and was informed i needed a video appointment with a provider. Once again i will likely not have my medicine to dose on time. I have begun to look elsewhere to transfer my business to.

Hi Heather, we are so sorry to hear about the repeated delays with your medication and the lack of communication regarding your account status. It is completely understandable how frustrating it is to miss doses, especially while your subscription remains active without a pause. Having an order sit in review for weeks without notification or a clear path forward is not the experience we want for our patients. We take your concerns very seriously and would welcome the opportunity to look into your account details to help get this resolved for you.

Everything was fine until it came down…
Everything was fine until it came down to my cancellation and receiving my last meds and not honoring there promo deal. Emails from “representatives” multiple tickets placed. Beware, they will try and delay your meds after you cancel your subscription to try and squeeze a last payment out of you.

Hi Glenn, thank you for sharing your feedback and please accept our sincerest apologies for the frustrating experience you had regarding your cancellation, promotional offer, and the delivery of your final shipment. This is certainly not the level of service we strive to deliver. We take your feedback seriously and would appreciate the opportunity to look into your account details to help resolve these outstanding concerns.

Get the meds - Help is fickle at best
The positives: The order was shipped promptly and was cold-packed very well. The originating pharmacy had a good reputation, as far as I could tell. The tirzepatide seems to be working as advertised (I was a Wegovy user before, but this has been better)
Negatives: Customer service is almost nonexistent. I've been a patient for almost 2 months and still have not been able to book an "initial care" appointment due to issues with the website; I try to book with a phone rep who says an appt is booked, and then I get an email confirming a different date. The dashboard shows a "missed" appointment that was never booked... My wife has had a completely different experience, so mileage may vary.

Hi Cyrus, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are pleased to know that your medication arrived quickly, properly cooled, and that your treatment has been yielding positive results compared to your previous experience.
At the same time, we hear your frustration regarding the scheduling process and the technical difficulties you faced on our portal. Receiving conflicting confirmation dates and seeing incorrect attendance statuses on your account is certainly not the seamless experience we aim to provide. We would truly appreciate the opportunity to make things right and will be reaching out to you to gather more details. Your experience matters to us and we're committed to addressing your concerns.

Embody's only focus is on deceptive practices
Update: I finally got to speak to a human being with the company that had the common sense to make things right. As such, I am changing my review to 3 stars because I feel like she understood, fixed the issues, got my refund, and also indicated that she would be taking my concerns to upper management to help on the front-facing end of what happened with customer service and the relentless times I was basically being told too bad too sad by the reps on the phone and via email. I now have 2 shipments of meds I do not plan on using, which is sad that this happened. Kudos to the representative who called me personally. Thank you for making things right.
Update: These people are really inept; I am glad I decided not to deal with them. They emailed me saying the charge was for past meds. I paid for and only got one shipment. Also they claimed I got a shipment in September. Again only one shipment received in July. I cancelled shortly after and did not complete the reinstatement form. Yesterday they referred to terms and conditions for denying my refund today they said they have no refund policy? At this point they keep pushing meds on me that I do not want further violating consumer protection laws. They respond here in sincerity but pull the same deceptive practices in private. I keep saying I did not authorize the charge they keep telling me they are willing to work with me if I take the meds I never authorized have not received and do not want. Make this make sense at this point?
I cancelled Embody after my first order. I had a listed side effect, followed their instructions to stop and wait for contact from one of their professionals. I waited almost two weeks with no call or email from any professional from their company resulting in a lapse of my going forward with the rest of the shots because I deperately wanted to speak to someone before proceeding. In Late August or September I asked about rejoining , and was told I would have to start over with a four-week wait, and I declined. I never completed the online reinstatement form. On October 7th, 2026 they charged my card anyway. I told them the same day that I did not authorize it and do not want any medication. They confirmed in writing and on the telephone that I wanted a refund and that I won't be taking the medication, then refused citing "terms and conditions" that they did not identify for refusing my refund. To make matters worse the medicine has not been formulated yet so giving me a refund would be seamless on the phone it was acknowledge that they could not find a permission to reinstate. I asked to speak with a supervisor or that one would contact me. I received emails with circle talk acknowledging that I want a refund and that I would not be taking their meds but they refused to refund me saying they can assist me with my medication needs if I wanted assistance. I have disputed the charge with my bank and I have filed complaints with the FTC, Pennsylvania Attorney general and any other agency that oversees this company. They have deceptive practices, they also do not have the professionals they claim to get back to you when you have legit questions about the meds , everyone takes their time and this results in lags in taking the meds while waiting for a professional to consult with you. They still have not cited what the terms and conditions are and this is a violation of my consumer rights and fair practices.

We are deeply sorry to hear about your experience, from the lack of follow-up after reporting a side effect to the unexpected charges and refusal of a refund. Waiting for guidance from a medical professional before continuing treatment is entirely understandable, and we apologize for the breakdown in communication that left your concerns unaddressed. We also hear your frustration regarding the reinstatement process, billing policies, and difficulty reaching a resolution with support. This is certainly not the standard of care or communication we strive to provide. Your detailed feedback is deeply concerning, and we appreciate you bringing these serious issues to our attention so they can be thoroughly reviewed internally.

Company needs improvement
Company needs to be more responsive and pay more attention to orders and get them out in a timely manner. And they need to explain their dosages which vary from other companies. I also had a difficult time understanding one the nurses who called and she rushed information and hung up early on me.
Response from EmbodyOct 8, 2026
Hi Cathie, thank you for sharing this feedback. We’re sorry that you’ve experienced delays with your orders and that our communication around dosing hasn’t been as clear as it should be. We understand how important it is to receive timely updates and feel confident in the information you’re given.
We’re also sorry that your interaction with the nurse left you feeling rushed and unheard. This is certainly not the level of care we aim for our patients. We would truly appreciate the opportunity to make things right and will be reaching out to you to gather more details.

Slow to get meds
Well, customer service is easy to get a hold of and I do have one of the account managers been great to help me. I don’t quite understand this, but there’s a holdup between paying for it and the Pharmacy approving it. I don’t know why but it’s a very long time in between before you get your medication’s.
Response from EmbodyOct 8, 2026
Hi Marianne, we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are pleased to know our support team and account managers have been helpful to you. However, we recognize your frustration regarding the delay between processing your payment and receiving pharmacy approval for your prescriptions. Extended wait times for essential medications are understandable sources of concern. We are actively reviewing our verification and fulfillment processes to streamline this transition and reduce the total delivery time. Your insights help us identify where our procedures need improvement so we can provide a faster, more seamless service moving forward.
