How many obesity-medicine and endocrinology clinics are in Baton Rouge?

Our directory lists 24 Baton Rouge practices whose true primary specialty on file is obesity medicine, endocrinology, or bariatric care, plus 21 clinics and medical centers and 3 primary-care clinicians whose CMS record also lists an obesity-medicine or endocrinology taxonomy — 48 in total. That's roughly 21.1 per 100,000 residents. Every count comes from the CMS National Provider registry (NPPES) taxonomy on file, not a survey of services.

Do these Baton Rouge 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 Baton Rouge listings in this directory (23 of 48 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 Baton Rouge 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 Baton Rouge?

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 Louisiana addresses average around $195/month cash-pay.

How did you verify these Baton Rouge clinics?

Every listing is sourced from the CMS National Provider registry (NPPES), the federal database of enumerated healthcare providers. We verified 24 primary-specialty practices, 21 facility-type listings, and 3 primary-care clinicians in Baton Rouge this way — 48 listings in total. If you don't find a fit here, nearby New Orleans has a larger directory (51 listings). 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.
