About LaSara Medical Group
No steady-state price is published, though discounts run from time to time. LaSara Medical Group operates nationally by telehealth and will see patients in person in southern California. Compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide share a menu with TRT, NAD+, sermorelin, B12 and enclomiphene, making this a multi-modality clinic rather than a GLP-1 specialist. A free consultation opens the process, and a doctor must approve.

Compounded tirzepatide is priced along four dose tiers, $450 through $1,100/mo, each covering drug, supplies, labs and consultations. Semaglutide is not offered at all. Dr. Dagoberto Rodriguez, M.D. founded the practice, which works nationally by telehealth and treats hormone therapy as its core; the credentialing and the itemization are both unusual for this segment. No pharmacy partner is identified.
