Graded #77 · C
Strengths
- Low starting pricing (about $80-$135/month) with no subscription lock-in
- Physician-led by a named MD, not automated messaging
- Third-party COA and LegitScript-certified pharmacy
- Both telehealth and in-person Utah visits with fast scheduling
Where it loses points
- Available in Utah only — a St George clinic offering telehealth within the state, not a national service
- The per-vial price is fixed, so the monthly cost rises steeply with the dose: the provider's own table runs about $20/mo at 0.25 mg, $80/mo at 1.0 mg and about $199/mo at 2.5 mg
- Medication is bought per vial up front rather than on a subscription, so there is no monthly rate to compare directly against a subscription programme
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved finished products
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
