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

Our directory lists 183 Houston practices whose true primary specialty on file is obesity medicine, endocrinology, or bariatric care, plus 190 clinics and medical centers and 28 primary-care clinicians whose CMS record also lists an obesity-medicine or endocrinology taxonomy — 401 in total. That's roughly 17.4 per 100,000 residents. Every count comes from the CMS National Provider registry (NPPES) taxonomy on file, not a survey of services.

Do these Houston 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 Houston listings in this directory (185 of 401 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 Houston 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 Houston?

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 Texas addresses average around $189/month cash-pay.

How did you verify these Houston clinics?

Every listing is sourced from the CMS National Provider registry (NPPES), the federal database of enumerated healthcare providers. We verified 183 primary-specialty practices, 190 facility-type listings, and 28 primary-care clinicians in Houston this way — 401 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.

Taxonomy Mix in Houston

Of the 401 Houston practices in this directory, 189 carry a core obesity-medicine or endocrinology taxonomy (4 Obesity Medicine, 185 Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism), 0 are multi-specialty or primary-care clinic facilities, 167 carry a bariatric-surgery taxonomy, 5 carry a bariatric-medicine-adjacent combination taxonomy, 38 are family or internal medicine practices, and 2 are nurse-practitioner or physician-assistant enumerations.

The CMS registry also lists 12257 other primary-care & multi-specialty clinicians in Houston who commonly prescribe GLP-1s but don't specifically list obesity medicine in their taxonomy — not included in the roster below.

Houston has roughly 17.4 obesity-medicine and endocrinology practices per 100,000 residents, based on a city-proper population of 2,304,580. The wider Houston metro area — home to about 7,340,000 residents — likely draws on additional practices in neighboring cities not counted here.
