Why DEXA for Coral Gables

The scale lies. DEXA tells the truth.

Coral Gables patients tend to think long-term — estate plans, education, health span. Bone density is where DEXA earns its keep here: the same 15-minute scan that maps your body composition also screens hip and spine density, catching osteopenia years before it becomes osteoporosis.

At Strong Health Miami, you get the same scan technology used in clinical research, performed at our Brickell clinic, with results you can use to track real progress on TRT, GLP-1 weight loss, peptide therapy, or your own training.

1–2% margin of error vs. 5–8% for BIA scales
Region-by-region breakdown (arms, legs, trunk)
Bone density scoring (T-score, Z-score)
Visceral fat measurement, not just total body fat
FDA-approved, low-dose, repeatable for trend data

Every scan includes total and regional body fat, pound-precise lean mass by limb, visceral fat, bone density (T-score and Z-score), and left-right symmetry analysis — see the full report breakdown on the DEXA Scan Miami page, or the science behind it in our complete DEXA guide.

Coral Gables Patient Review
Verified Patient

I was on tirzepatide and worried I was losing muscle. Strong Health's DEXA confirmed I'd kept almost all my lean mass while losing 32 lbs of fat. I ride Metrorail from Douglas Road — easier than parking anywhere near the Mile.

Coral Gables DEXA FAQs

DEXA scan questions from Coral Gables

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a DEXA scan in Coral Gables?
The nearest walk-in DEXA clinic to Coral Gables is Strong Health's Brickell location at 1000 Brickell Plaza — about 6 miles east via Coral Way or US-1, a 15-minute drive from Miracle Mile, or a direct Metrorail ride from Douglas Road station to Brickell. Same-week appointments are typically available.
Does the DEXA scan include bone density for osteoporosis screening?
Yes. Every Strong Health DEXA includes bone mineral density with T-scores and Z-scores for hip and spine — the same measurement used for osteoporosis screening. Many Coral Gables patients in their 50s and 60s book specifically for this, and bone-density scans may be covered by insurance for eligible patients.
Can University of Miami students and staff get scanned?
Absolutely — the clinic is one Metrorail stop chain away (University station to Brickell station, no transfer). Student athletes use DEXA for limb-level lean mass and symmetry data; no referral is needed for a body composition scan, and direct-pay pricing keeps it under $200 for most patients.
How much does a DEXA scan cost for Coral Gables patients?
The same transparent direct-pay pricing as every Strong Health scan: most patients pay under $200 per body composition scan, with bundled pricing available if you plan to track progress across multiple scans per year. No referral or insurance is needed. Bone density DEXA scans (for osteoporosis screening) may be covered by insurance for eligible patients.

General questions — what the scan measures, how to prepare, safety — are answered on the DEXA Scan Miami page and in our full DEXA guide.
