Question 1

How many obesity-medicine and endocrinology clinics are in New York?

Accepted Answer

Our directory lists 1,157 New York practices whose true primary specialty on file is obesity medicine, endocrinology, or bariatric care, plus 922 clinics and medical centers and 114 primary-care clinicians whose CMS record also lists an obesity-medicine or endocrinology taxonomy — 2,193 in total across 265 New York cities. Every count comes from the CMS National Provider registry (NPPES) taxonomy on file, not a survey of services.

Question 2

Do these New York 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. Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism is the most common taxonomy bucket among New York listings in this directory (1,157 of 2,193 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 New York 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 New York?

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 New York addresses average around $229/month cash-pay. See our full list of GLP-1 telehealth providers serving New York in the "Prefer Telehealth?" section above.

Question 4

How did you verify these New York clinics?

Accepted Answer

Every listing is sourced from the CMS National Provider registry (NPPES), the federal database of enumerated healthcare providers. Across New York we verified 1,157 primary-specialty practices, 922 facility-type listings, and 114 primary-care clinicians carrying a secondary obesity-medicine taxonomy this way — New York has the most listings of any New York city in the directory, with 540. 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.
