What to Look for in a GLP-1 Clinic
Choosing the right GLP-1 provider in Columbus matters. Look for clinics that offer:
- Board-certified physicians or NPs with experience in metabolic medicine
- FDA-approved medications (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound) — not unverified compounded versions
- Comprehensive lab work before starting therapy
- Ongoing monitoring — weight, side effects, dose adjustments
- Transparent pricing — monthly costs, insurance acceptance
- Real reviews with details — clinics with text-rich patient reviews are more trustworthy than star-only ratings
GLP-1 Medications Explained
GLP-1 receptor agonists work by mimicking a hormone that regulates appetite and blood sugar. The main options:
- Ozempic & Wegovy — both contain semaglutide. Ozempic is FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes; Wegovy for chronic weight management.
- Mounjaro & Zepbound — both contain tirzepatide (a dual GIP/GLP-1 agonist). Mounjaro for diabetes; Zepbound for weight loss.
- Compounded GLP-1s — Following the April 2026 FDA 503B ruling, compounded GLP-1 medications are no longer available from most pharmacies. Stick with FDA-approved brand-name medications from verified clinics.
Cost & Insurance in Georgia
Georgia Medicaid covers GLP-1 for diabetes only.
