What is RGV Direct Care?
RGV Direct Care is a family clinic at 309 W. Pike Blvd. Suite C in Weslaco, Texas. Dr. Escobedo is the only prescriber the clinic names, and his credential is given as board-certified physician. Before opening the clinic, Dr. Escobedo completed a residency at Valley Baptist Family Practice Medicine from 2015 to 2018, served veterans at the VA from 2018 to 2022, and worked at Cano Health from 2022 to 2023.
Weight loss is one of many services here, not the whole practice. The services list also includes preventive health screenings, acute illness care, mental health support, steroid injections, orthobiologics and PRP therapy for joint pain, IV micronutrition therapy, dermatological services, and ketamine therapy. Its weight loss program covers food habits, simple physical activity, nutrition education, progress monitoring, and behavioral support, and it can provide Ozempic, Trulicity, or Mounjaro. Google lists the clinic as a family practice physician with a 4.8 rating from 46 reviews.
What does it cost?
The clinic does not publish prices for visits, the weight loss program, or medication. It names no consultation fee and does not say whether any price includes the medication. It accepts most major commercial insurance plans along with Medicare and Medicaid. For patients without insurance, staff will help them understand coverage options, but it gives no figures.
On the medications, in its own words: "We provide access to medications including Ozempic, Trulicity, and Mounjaro at reduced rates through our network and compounding pharmacies when appropriate." That line gives no dollar amount, so you will need to ask for one.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who writes and signs any weight loss prescription, and whether Dr. Escobedo does. Ask which version you would receive: the brand-name Ozempic, Trulicity, or Mounjaro, or a compounded version from one of its pharmacies. Ask what decides when compounding is "appropriate."
Ask whether any monthly or program fee includes the medication, and what the consultation, follow-up visits, and lab work cost. Ask whether your insurance covers the medication for weight loss, since accepting insurance does not answer that. Ask how the dose is chosen and changed, whether telehealth visits are offered, and how you stop or cancel. Its hours are Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 8am to 5pm, Tuesday from 10am to 5pm, and Thursday closed.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want a family doctor in Weslaco who takes insurance and you want weight loss care alongside general primary care. It is a weaker match if you want a cash-pay program with published prices, or hormone therapy, which the services list does not include.
