Verification Notes

• Reported federal regulatory changes in May 2025 can limit the sale of compounded Semaglutide injections by Arizona compounding pharmacies and this will impact the availability of these injections to clinics using compounded formulations.
• The precise date of the formation of the clinic, other than its NPI listing in November 2019, is not well recorded.
• Pricing is not transparent as the cost of packages and medications is not publicly disclosed.
• Even though most patient reviews are mostly positive, more extensive reviews on various independent websites may offer a more detailed analysis.
• There are also some links on the websites that mention other articles or information that do not seem to be functioning or are ambiguous.
• There was no data available that could be associated with Dr. Azza Halim and New Viva MD; the only data that could be found is that of Dr. Arpita Surkunte, the primary physician of the clinic.
