What is the difference between an endocrinologist and an obesity medicine physician?

Endocrinologists diagnose and treat hormone-related conditions such as diabetes, thyroid disorders, and PCOS. Obesity medicine physicians are board-certified in the medical management of weight and metabolic health. There is overlap — both may manage weight-related metabolic conditions — and Orlando has 55 physicians across the two specialties.

Question 3

Can I get medical weight loss treatment in Orlando?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Orlando has 223 providers focused on medical weight management, from board-certified obesity medicine physicians to dietitians and weight management clinics. Treatment plans are individualized and may include nutrition therapy, behavioral support, and medication when a clinician determines it is appropriate for you.

Question 4

Do providers in Orlando prescribe GLP-1 medications like semaglutide?

Accepted Answer

Some obesity medicine physicians and endocrinologists prescribe GLP-1 medications when clinically appropriate after an evaluation. Whether a medication is right for you is a decision made with your clinician based on your health history — no provider can promise a specific prescription before an evaluation. Insurance coverage for these medications varies widely, so confirm with both the provider and your plan.
