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.

Finding a GLP-1 provider in LA means dealing with the same problem you hit with everything in this city: too many options and no obvious way to tell what's real. There are board-certified obesity medicine physicians in Westwood doing serious clinical work, and there are Hollywood medspas that added semaglutide to their menu between the IV drips and the vitamin shots. The gap between them is enormous, but their websites look the same.
California's medical regulations help. The Medical Board of California doesn't play around with prescribing oversight, and telehealth rules here require a real patient-provider relationship before anyone writes a prescription. That's a genuine consumer protection that some other states don't offer.
Geography is the other reality of GLP-1 treatment in LA. A clinic in Santa Monica might as well be on another planet if you live in Pasadena or the Valley. Take the 10 to the 405 on a weekday afternoon and your "quick appointment" just became a two-hour ordeal. This is why telehealth has exploded here. Several of our top-ranked providers operate virtually first, with in-person options available if you need lab work or a DEXA scan.
LA's diversity shapes the treatment landscape in ways that national telehealth companies completely miss. Providers in East LA, K-Town, Thai Town, and Little Ethiopia serve communities with specific dietary traditions, cultural relationships with food, and health patterns that a generic weight loss protocol doesn't address. If you're looking for a provider who gets it, who understands that your abuela's cooking or your family's kimchi jjigae isn't "the problem," seek out clinics that serve your community specifically.
Anywhere from $199 to $1,500 a month, depending on where you go. Compounded semaglutide from a licensed pharmacy is on the low end. A concierge practice on the Westside charging for brand-name Wegovy with all the extras is on the high end. Most solid mid-range clinics in LA charge $400 to $700 monthly.
Many California plans do, including Medi-Cal for qualifying patients. Coverage typically requires a BMI of 30+ or 27+ with comorbidities. Prior authorization is almost always required, and it can take a couple weeks. Start the insurance process before you run out of patience and go cash-pay.
Plenty. East LA, Boyle Heights, Panorama City, and other predominantly Latino neighborhoods have providers who offer fully Spanish-language care. Several telehealth providers also serve Spanish-speaking patients across all of LA County.
California permits telehealth prescribing for GLP-1 medications. Providers must hold a California medical license. Medi-Cal (Medicaid) covers GLP-1 medications for obesity.
