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

Our directory lists 94 San Francisco practices whose true primary specialty on file is obesity medicine, endocrinology, or bariatric care, plus 35 clinics and medical centers and 15 primary-care clinicians whose CMS record also lists an obesity-medicine or endocrinology taxonomy — 144 in total. That's roughly 16.5 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 Francisco 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 Francisco listings in this directory (90 of 144 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 Francisco 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 Francisco?

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 Francisco clinics?

Every listing is sourced from the CMS National Provider registry (NPPES), the federal database of enumerated healthcare providers. We verified 94 primary-specialty practices, 35 facility-type listings, and 15 primary-care clinicians in San Francisco this way — 144 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.

The CMS registry also lists 4824 other primary-care & multi-specialty clinicians in San Francisco who commonly prescribe GLP-1s but don't specifically list obesity medicine in their taxonomy — not included in the roster below.

San Francisco has roughly 16.5 obesity-medicine and endocrinology practices per 100,000 residents, based on a city-proper population of 873,965. The wider San Francisco metro area — home to about 4,750,000 residents — likely draws on additional practices in neighboring cities not counted here.
