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.

This includes semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound) treatment plans. Prices vary by provider and medication type. 6 weight loss doctors in Denver publish their pricing. Many obesity medicine specialists offer payment plans or accept insurance to reduce out-of-pocket costs.
1 weight loss clinic prescribing GLP-1 medications in Denver accept health insurance. Some list billing plans such as Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna — which means a clinic may bill the plan for visits, not that your GLP-1 medication is covered. An additional 9 clinics offer cash-pay options for patients without coverage.

Colorado's 25% adult obesity rate is the lowest in the nation, and that shapes who walks through a Denver clinic door. This is not a market full of patients starting from scratch. You'll find people who already train for fourteeners, bike the Highline Canal Trail on weekends, and eat reasonably well. They're coming in because GLP-1 therapy can break a plateau that diet and exercise alone haven't moved. They want pharmacology explained clearly, metabolic markers tracked over time, and a provider who treats the medication as one tool inside a broader strategy, not just a prescription and a monthly refill.
Geography matters here. Denver's clinic density clusters along Cherry Creek and the South Colorado Boulevard corridor, with options in Capitol Hill and Central Park (formerly Stapleton). If you work in the Denver Tech Center, a 5:00pm appointment near the I-25 and 225 junction can turn a 20-minute errand into an hour of sitting. Patients in Highlands Ranch or Lone Tree face the same merge-and-brake reality. Telehealth fills this gap. Evexias Medical Spa Denver and Genesis Lifestyle Medicine both offer telehealth alongside in-person visits, which matters for patients who want flexibility without switching providers.
Denver's food identity is specific. Green chile is a condiment, a sauce, a lifestyle. The breakfast burrito smothered in pork green chile is not a guilty pleasure here. Pueblo County produces over 15 million pounds of chile annually, and the Colorado vs. New Mexico green chile debate is genuinely heated. Craft beer is the other anchor. A good provider understands that asking someone to abandon these things entirely is unnecessary. The real conversation is how GLP-1-induced appetite changes make moderation easier, and how to stay hydrated in Denver's dry altitude air when alcohol is part of the picture.
One thing Denver's GLP-1 list reveals: a high share of the clinics are med spas. Gleam Medical Spa, Redbud Medical Spa, Evexias Medical Spa, and RESTOR Medical Spa all appear near the top. That's not disqualifying, but it's worth knowing. Med spas' primary focus is aesthetics, not metabolic medicine. For patients with diabetes or cardiovascular history, a clinic like Denver Midtown Clinic or Access Medical Weight Management with a primary-care framing is a better fit. Cash-pay compounded semaglutide across Denver runs $149-$399 per month. Brand-name Wegovy and Zepbound require prior authorization, and Colorado's commercial plans cover GLP-1s for obesity, while Health First Colorado (Medicaid) covers them only for Type 2 diabetes.
Cash-pay compounded semaglutide programs in Denver run roughly $149-$399 per month depending on starting dose and which clinic you use. Brand-name Wegovy and Zepbound cost significantly more without insurance, around $1,000-$1,300 per month at list price. With commercial insurance and prior authorization, out-of-pocket costs drop substantially. Cherry Creek and Capitol Hill practices skew toward the higher end of cash-pay pricing; South Denver and telehealth options run lower.
Health First Colorado (Colorado's Medicaid program) does not cover GLP-1 medications for weight loss or obesity; prior authorization for a GLP-1 prescribed solely for weight loss is not approved. Coverage applies to Type 2 diabetes. A 2025 state law, SB25-048, directs Colorado to add obesity coverage, but the Medicaid expansion depends on federal authorization and is not active yet. Colorado's state employee health plan separately dropped GLP-1 coverage for weight loss in July 2025. Commercial plans on the state exchange vary, so verify your specific plan's formulary before assuming coverage, and ask any provider you consult whether they help with prior authorization paperwork.
Colorado permits telehealth prescribing for GLP-1 medications by state-licensed providers. Health First Colorado (Medicaid) covers GLP-1 medications for obesity.

Listing a plan means a clinic may bill it for visits. It does not confirm GLP-1 medication coverage.
Obesity medicine providers in Denver prescribe semaglutide, tirzepatide. Your weight loss doctor will recommend the best GLP-1 injection based on your health history, BMI, and treatment goals. Compare all GLP-1 weight loss medications.
10 GLP-1 clinics in Denver are currently accepting new patients. Availability can change, so we recommend contacting the clinic directly to confirm openings and schedule your first consultation.
It can. At 5,280 feet, Denver residents already experience faster fluid loss than people at sea level because the air is drier and sweat evaporates quickly. GLP-1 side effects like nausea can be compounded by dehydration, which is easier to underestimate here because altitude blunts the thirst signal. Patients who exercise at higher elevations on weekends, heading up into the mountains to ski or hike above 10,000 feet, face an even sharper dehydration risk. Denver-based providers who routinely treat patients in this environment will give specific hydration guidance as a baseline. An out-of-state telehealth service that doesn't ask about elevation is more likely to miss this.
Yes. Cherry Creek and the South Colorado Boulevard corridor have the highest concentration, including Gleam Medical Spa at 300 South Jackson Street in Glendale (just south of Cherry Creek proper) and Lea Gattoni at 250 Steele Street in Cherry Creek. Central Park (the neighborhood formerly known as Stapleton) has two options in the area: both Central Park Weight Loss and Dr. Angela Tran, D.O. operate in the Central Park neighborhood off Central Park Boulevard. RiNo and LoDo are thinner on GLP-1 providers; the bulk of the city's options sit south of Colfax along the Colorado Boulevard spine.
Yes. Colorado law allows telehealth prescribing for GLP-1 medications. For patients in mountain communities west of Denver, suburbs along I-25, or anyone trying to avoid adding a medical appointment to a brutal I-25 commute, telehealth is a real option. Denver-based clinics including Evexias Medical Spa, Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, and DTC Medical Weight Loss offer hybrid models where you can do your initial consultation and follow-ups virtually. National telehealth platforms also operate in Colorado, though you lose the local altitude and lifestyle knowledge that an established Denver provider carries.
A significant share of the GLP-1 clinics in Denver operate as med spas, meaning their primary focus may be aesthetics rather than metabolic medicine. That's not a deal-breaker for otherwise healthy patients, but ask directly about the supervising physician's credentials, whether the practice tracks metabolic markers beyond weight, and what happens if you develop complications. For patients managing Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular conditions, or more complex metabolic pictures, a provider with a primary care or internal medicine background is worth prioritizing. Board certification in obesity medicine (ABOM) is the gold standard to look for across any practice type.
Monthly GLP-1 medication programs in Denver typically cost between $324 and $780. Prices depend on the specific medication (semaglutide vs. tirzepatide), whether you use branded or compounded versions, and your insurance coverage. Some clinics offer payment plans.
