About Royal-Priest MD

What is Royal-Priest MD?

Royal-Priest MD is a physician-led longevity practice at 3619 Paesanos Parkway, Suite 112, San Antonio, TX 78231. Its main work is preventive and aging care. Paul Royal-Priest, M.D., Ph.D., leads the practice and is the only prescriber named. He is board-certified in family medicine with an added qualification in geriatric medicine, and his medical career began in 1993. Its terms page names the legal entity as Geriatric and Physical Therapy of San Antonio PLLC, doing business as The Longevity Practice.

In its own words: "Our very own physician Paul Royal-Priest leads his team in providing personalized aging care."

The practice offers six services: an Executive Annual Physical Examination, evaluation and optimization programs for stress, cognition, nutrition and sleep, and a pre-procedural assessment before surgery or other procedures. Its pages also discuss GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic and describe a DXA body composition scan for patients taking them. It does not name a weight loss prescribing program, hormone therapy or peptide therapy. It sees patients by appointment only. On Google it is rated 5 from 11 reviews.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices. There is no consultation fee, visit price or membership fee on its pages, and it invites patients to join a membership without stating the terms. It does not say whether insurance is accepted, whether a monthly fee would include medication, or whether it offers financing or HSA payment. Ask for every number in writing before you book.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs any prescription and whether Dr. Royal-Priest reviews it himself. If a GLP-1 medication such as Ozempic would be part of your care, ask whether it is the brand-name product or a compounded version, who supplies it, and whether its cost sits inside any membership fee. Ask what follow-up visits, lab work and the DXA scan cost, and whether the membership covers them. Ask whether any part of the visit can be billed to insurance, and whether follow-up can be done by telehealth. Finally, ask how the membership is cancelled and whether there is a notice period.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you are paying cash for preventive and aging care, want a physician-led visit by appointment, and are comfortable with a practice that describes its approach as faith-based. If you are looking for a weight loss program, hormone therapy or peptide therapy, ask first, because none of them is named on its pages.
