Royal Medical Center vs Tablet Health
The verdict
Royal Medical Center takes it — 49.4/100 to 47.6/100, but only just.
Royal Medical Center grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Royal Medical Center is a physician-led nationwide telehealth practice centered on hormone therapy that also offers a compounded tirzepatide weight-loss program (no semaglutide). Tablet Health is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.

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
Graded #495 · C
Strengths
- LegitScript Certified
- Four named compounding pharmacy partners (Pharmacy Hub, Epiq Scripts, Dr. TelX, Emerad), none with FDA warning letters
- Oral GLP-1 option for both semaglutide and tirzepatide — uncommon in compounded telehealth
- Mid-tier pricing starting $179–$299/mo across all four product variants
- No commitment — cancel anytime
Where it loses points
- States served not published — you must complete the intake quiz to learn eligibility
- No founder, CEO, medical director, or pharmacist-in-charge named anywhere
- No BBB profile found
- Its Queens NYC pharmacy is 'opening soon' — all dispensing currently routes through external partners
- FDA issued this company a warning letter dated 19 March 2025; the letter is public in FDA's warning-letter database
