How many obesity-medicine and endocrinology clinics are in Los Angeles?

Our directory lists 121 Los Angeles practices whose true primary specialty on file is obesity medicine, endocrinology, or bariatric care, plus 140 clinics and medical centers and 22 primary-care clinicians whose CMS record also lists an obesity-medicine or endocrinology taxonomy — 283 in total. That's roughly 7.1 per 100,000 residents. Every count comes from the CMS National Provider registry (NPPES) taxonomy on file, not a survey of services.

Do these Los Angeles clinics prescribe semaglutide or tirzepatide?

The registry records each practice's specialty taxonomy, not the specific medications it prescribes or its current service menu. bariatric surgery is the most common taxonomy bucket among Los Angeles listings in this directory (131 of 283 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 Los Angeles 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 Los Angeles?

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 California addresses average around $219/month cash-pay.

How did you verify these Los Angeles clinics?

Every listing is sourced from the CMS National Provider registry (NPPES), the federal database of enumerated healthcare providers. We verified 121 primary-specialty practices, 140 facility-type listings, and 22 primary-care clinicians in Los Angeles this way — 283 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.
