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

Our directory lists 15 Providence 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 — 39 in total. That's roughly 20.4 per 100,000 residents. Every count comes from the CMS National Provider registry (NPPES) taxonomy on file, not a survey of services.

Do these Providence clinics prescribe semaglutide or tirzepatide?

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 Providence listings in this directory (16 of 39 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 Providence 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 Providence?

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 Rhode Island addresses average around $219/month cash-pay.
