How many obesity-medicine and endocrinology clinics are in San Diego?

Our directory lists 72 San Diego practices whose true primary specialty on file is obesity medicine, endocrinology, or bariatric care, plus 49 clinics and medical centers and 14 primary-care clinicians whose CMS record also lists an obesity-medicine or endocrinology taxonomy — 135 in total. That's roughly 9.5 per 100,000 residents. Every count comes from the CMS National Provider registry (NPPES) taxonomy on file, not a survey of services.

Do these San Diego 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 San Diego listings in this directory (73 of 135 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 San Diego 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 San Diego?

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 San Diego clinics?

Every listing is sourced from the CMS National Provider registry (NPPES), the federal database of enumerated healthcare providers. We verified 72 primary-specialty practices, 49 facility-type listings, and 14 primary-care clinicians in San Diego this way — 135 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.
