Our rankings are based on a weighted scoring system that considers multiple factors. Patient ratings carry the most weight, followed by the number of verified reviews, provider credentials (including ABOM board certification in obesity medicine), and verification level. We also factor in pricing transparency, whether the clinic is accepting new patients, and telehealth availability. Clinics that provide clear pricing information, accept insurance, and offer flexible visit options score higher because these factors directly affect your ability to access and afford treatment. Every clinic listed has been verified through NPI Registry data.
