What stands out

  • Physicians board-certified in obesity medicine. Across this directory that credential appears only a handful of times, and it is the one most directly relevant to prescribing and managing these medications long term.
  • Names the branded products — Zepbound and Wegovy — rather than describing generic GLP-1 medication, which suggests an FDA-approved rather than compounded route.
  • Publishes patient testimonials citing large BMI reductions, for example from 39 to 21. These are individual accounts rather than typical results, and no methodology or average is published alongside them.
  • No prices are published for consultations, programmes or medication.
  • No clinical criteria, lab requirement, insurance position, refund or cancellation terms are published.

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.

  • Nothing is priced. What does the programme cost, and does the practice bill insurance?
  • The testimonials describe exceptional individual outcomes. What results does the practice see on average?
  • If the branded medication is prescribed, how is coverage or cash-pay handled?
  • What clinical criteria and lab work apply?
  • No refund or cancellation terms are published.

May suit

A Scottsdale-area patient who wants an obesity medicine specialist and a branded, FDA-approved medication rather than a compounded subscription.

Limitations

  • No published pricing or policies.
  • No published clinical criteria or lab requirement.
  • Arizona only.
  • Marketing leans on exceptional individual outcomes.

Frequently asked

Why does obesity medicine certification matter?

Because it is the specialty built for this. Certification by the American Board of Obesity Medicine requires dedicated training and examination in pharmacotherapy, metabolic physiology, behavioural intervention and when to refer for surgery. Most prescribers in this directory are generalists reviewing a questionnaire. If you want someone who can tell you when a GLP-1 is not the answer, this is the qualification to look for.
