Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

Our directory lists 195 Colorado practices whose true primary specialty on file is obesity medicine, endocrinology, or bariatric care, plus 463 clinics and medical centers and 26 primary-care clinicians whose CMS record also lists an obesity-medicine or endocrinology taxonomy — 684 in total across 71 Colorado cities. Every count comes from the CMS National Provider registry (NPPES) taxonomy on file, not a survey of services.

Question 2

Do these Colorado clinics prescribe semaglutide or tirzepatide?

Accepted Answer

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 Colorado listings in this directory (415 of 684 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 Colorado clinic's offerings from the registry alone — call the practice directly to confirm availability, pricing, and new-patient status before booking.

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

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 directly to Colorado addresses average around $209/month cash-pay. See our full list of GLP-1 telehealth providers serving Colorado in the "Prefer Telehealth?" section above.

Question 4

How did you verify these Colorado clinics?

Accepted Answer

Every listing is sourced from the CMS National Provider registry (NPPES), the federal database of enumerated healthcare providers. Across Colorado we verified 195 primary-specialty practices, 463 facility-type listings, and 26 primary-care clinicians carrying a secondary obesity-medicine taxonomy this way — Denver has the most listings of any Colorado city in the directory, with 131. 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.
