Our verdict
Maximus (9.4/10) is our pick over Sesame Care (8.3/10) for most patients. Labs are included in Maximus's monthly price — Sesame Care charges separately, adding $150–300/yr to the true annual cost.
Sesame Care may be a better fit if you prefer Sesame Care's specific protocol approach. Both clinics require a prescription and blood work before starting treatment.
