How many obesity-medicine and endocrinology clinics are in Birmingham?

Our directory lists 49 Birmingham practices whose true primary specialty on file is obesity medicine, endocrinology, or bariatric care, plus 31 clinics and medical centers and 2 primary-care clinicians whose CMS record also lists an obesity-medicine or endocrinology taxonomy — 82 in total. That's roughly 40.9 per 100,000 residents. Every count comes from the CMS National Provider registry (NPPES) taxonomy on file, not a survey of services.

Do these Birmingham clinics prescribe semaglutide or tirzepatide?

The registry records each practice's specialty taxonomy, not the specific medications it prescribes or its current service menu. Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism is the most common taxonomy bucket among Birmingham listings in this directory (49 of 82 practices). Obesity-medicine and endocrinology practices commonly prescribe GLP-1 medications like semaglutide (Wegovy, Ozempic) and tirzepatide (Zepbound, Mounjaro), but we can't confirm any individual Birmingham clinic's offerings from the registry alone — call the practice directly to confirm availability, pricing, and new-patient status before booking.

Is it cheaper to see a clinic in person or use telehealth in Birmingham?

It depends on your insurance and the medication. An in-person visit plus a brand-name prescription (Wegovy or Zepbound) can run $1,000-$1,350 per month without insurance, while licensed telehealth providers shipping compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide to Alabama addresses average around $199/month cash-pay.

How did you verify these Birmingham clinics?

We verified 49 primary-specialty practices, 31 facility-type listings, and 2 primary-care clinicians in Birmingham this way — 82 listings in total. Listing reflects the taxonomy on file — it is not an endorsement, and not a confirmation of GLP-1 availability, cash-pay pricing, or new-patient status.
