Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

Our directory lists 422 Ohio practices whose true primary specialty on file is obesity medicine, endocrinology, or bariatric care, plus 493 clinics and medical centers and 43 primary-care clinicians whose CMS record also lists an obesity-medicine or endocrinology taxonomy — 958 in total across 182 Ohio cities. Every count comes from the CMS National Provider registry (NPPES) taxonomy on file, not a survey of services.

Question 2

Do these Ohio 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 Ohio listings in this directory (418 of 958 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 Ohio 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 Ohio?

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 Ohio addresses average around $189/month cash-pay. See our full list of GLP-1 telehealth providers serving Ohio in the "Prefer Telehealth?" section above.

Question 4

How did you verify these Ohio clinics?

Accepted Answer

Every listing is sourced from the CMS National Provider registry (NPPES), the federal database of enumerated healthcare providers. Across Ohio we verified 422 primary-specialty practices, 493 facility-type listings, and 43 primary-care clinicians carrying a secondary obesity-medicine taxonomy this way — Cincinnati has the most listings of any Ohio city in the directory, with 106. 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.
