PeterMD

  • The excluded states differ by page: the GLP1 plus B12 program lists AL, ID, AK and HI, the tirzepatide page lists only AL and ID, and the intake form asks about Alabama, Arkansas, Idaho and Hawaii. Confirm your own state during signup before planning around PeterMD.
  • BBB opened PeterMD's file on July 28, 2026 and lists 22 complaints in the last three years, 12 of them in the last 12 months (checked October 16, 2026). Read them before you pay; a BBB grade measures complaint handling, not the quality of medical care.
