Read our full CoreAge Rx review →About Royal Medical Center
Royal Medical Center is a physician-led telehealth practice centered on hormone therapy that also offers a compounded GLP-1 weight-loss program covering both tirzepatide and semaglutide, plus a separate oral GLP-1 solution. Founded by Dr. Dagoberto Rodriguez, M.D., it advertises a single all-inclusive starting-at monthly figure bundling medication, supplies, labs and consultations, but publishes no dose-by-dose price and no checkout — the actual cost is quoted only after a medical intake. The dispensing pharmacy is named as Belmar Pharma Solutions.
