What stands out

• Publishing financial assistance routes matters — obesity care is expensive and the academic centres are effectively the only providers in this directory offering a path for people who cannot pay.
• Sits within the digestive health service, reflecting the metabolic and gastrointestinal side of weight management rather than treating it purely cosmetically.
• Full range of medical and surgical options available.

Questions to ask before you pay

These are things we could not settle from published pages, or that we think are easy to misread. Get answers in writing.

• Ask about financial assistance early if cost is a barrier.
• Expect a referral pathway and a longer intake than a telehealth form.
• Boston area.
