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

Our directory lists 291 Boston practices whose true primary specialty on file is obesity medicine, endocrinology, or bariatric care, plus 24 clinics and medical centers and 15 primary-care clinicians whose CMS record also lists an obesity-medicine or endocrinology taxonomy — 330 in total. That's roughly 48.8 per 100,000 residents. Every count comes from the CMS National Provider registry (NPPES) taxonomy on file, not a survey of services.

Do these Boston 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 Boston listings in this directory (288 of 330 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 Boston 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 Boston?

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 Massachusetts addresses average around $229/month cash-pay.

How did you verify these Boston clinics?

Every listing is sourced from the CMS National Provider registry (NPPES), the federal database of enumerated healthcare providers. We verified 291 primary-specialty practices, 24 facility-type listings, and 15 primary-care clinicians in Boston this way — 330 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 8682 other primary-care & multi-specialty clinicians in Boston who commonly prescribe GLP-1s but don't specifically list obesity medicine in their taxonomy — not included in the roster below.

Boston has roughly 48.8 obesity-medicine and endocrinology practices per 100,000 residents, based on a city-proper population of 675,647. The wider Boston metro area — home to about 4,940,000 residents — likely draws on additional practices in neighboring cities not counted here.
