Graded #56 · C
Strengths
- Low pricing: about 133 dollars per month for semaglutide, 166 for tirzepatide
- Site states it serves all 50 states with a 2 to 3 day pharmacy turnaround
- Names its partner compounding pharmacies and a Chief Medical Officer
Where it loses points
- Priced as 10 to 12-week packages rather than a simple monthly fee
- New-patient pricing is promotional and may rise on renewal
Graded #492 · C
Strengths
- Physician founder Dr. Dagoberto Rodriguez, MD — Emory residency, former Coral Springs Medical Center chairman, U Miami faculty
- Tirzepatide pricing fully itemized by dose tier ($450 / $650 / $800 / $1,100) — more transparent than 'starting at' floors
- All-inclusive pricing bundles medication, supplies, injections, lab monitoring, and physician follow-ups
- Broad catalog (HRT, TRT, peptides, ED, hair, vitamins) reflects an established multi-program clinic
- Florida physician with 30+ years of practice — a strong physician-led care signal
Where it loses points
- Operating legal entity not disclosed — only the 'Royal Medical Center' brand surfaced
- Pharmacy partner not named — buyers can't verify licensure or 503A/503B status
- No LegitScript badge displayed
- States served not enumerated — site says 'nationwide' with no state list
- Headline 'starting at $116/mo' conflicts with the actual $450/mo tirzepatide floor
