Royal Medical Center vs Wellorithm
The verdict
Royal Medical Center takes it — 49.4/100 to 48.5/100, 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). Wellorithm 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 #486 · C
Strengths
- Both molecules in BOTH routes — compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide as injections and as oral dissolving tablets
- Four branded pens on the same account: Mounjaro, Ozempic, Wegovy and Zepbound
- Sermorelin offered alongside the GLP-1 line
- 24/7 phone support on a published number
Where it loses points
- No price appears anywhere on the public site — /pricing 404s and every product CTA leads to a 2-minute intake quiz, so no cost can be compared before signing up
- The site contradicts itself on coverage: the homepage says "Serving All 50 States" while its own FAQ says 49 states and excludes Louisiana
- The four clinicians presented as "board-certified obesity specialists" are listed as Cardiac Surgery, Pediatric Clinic, Gynecology and Cardiac Surgery — none in obesity medicine
- "100% Customer Satisfaction" is stated as a headline fact and is not a substantiable claim
Also worth a look
Neither is our top-graded pick — CoreAge Rx leads the scorecard
Across all 499 providers, CoreAge Rx grades highest at 91.8/100 (A−). Top of the scorecard: flat transparent pricing, both molecules, nationwide — no teaser-rate games.
