Question 1

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

Accepted Answer

Our directory lists 333 Virginia practices whose true primary specialty on file is obesity medicine, endocrinology, or bariatric care, plus 401 clinics and medical centers and 60 primary-care clinicians whose CMS record also lists an obesity-medicine or endocrinology taxonomy — 794 in total across 100 Virginia cities. Every count comes from the CMS National Provider registry (NPPES) taxonomy on file, not a survey of services.

Question 2

Do these Virginia 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 Virginia listings in this directory (352 of 794 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 Virginia 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 Virginia?

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 Virginia addresses average around $199/month cash-pay. See our full list of GLP-1 telehealth providers serving Virginia in the "Prefer Telehealth?" section above.

Question 4

How did you verify these Virginia clinics?

Accepted Answer

Every listing is sourced from the CMS National Provider registry (NPPES), the federal database of enumerated healthcare providers. Across Virginia we verified 333 primary-specialty practices, 401 facility-type listings, and 60 primary-care clinicians carrying a secondary obesity-medicine taxonomy this way — Richmond has the most listings of any Virginia city in the directory, with 59. 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.
