Question 1

How many obesity-medicine and endocrinology clinics are in North Carolina?

Accepted Answer

Our directory lists 379 North Carolina practices whose true primary specialty on file is obesity medicine, endocrinology, or bariatric care, plus 627 clinics and medical centers and 60 primary-care clinicians whose CMS record also lists an obesity-medicine or endocrinology taxonomy — 1,066 in total across 129 North Carolina cities. Every count comes from the CMS National Provider registry (NPPES) taxonomy on file, not a survey of services.

Question 2

Do these North Carolina 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 North Carolina listings in this directory (517 of 1,066 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 North Carolina 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 North Carolina?

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 North Carolina addresses average around $195/month cash-pay.

Question 4

How did you verify these North Carolina clinics?

Accepted Answer

Every listing is sourced from the CMS National Provider registry (NPPES), the federal database of enumerated healthcare providers. Across North Carolina we verified 379 primary-specialty practices, 627 facility-type listings, and 60 primary-care clinicians carrying a secondary obesity-medicine taxonomy this way — Charlotte has the most listings of any North Carolina city in the directory, with 121. 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.
