Mid-morning US-1 is forgiving; pair the scan with a Brickell lunch and you've turned a checkup into an outing. School-hours appointments are quietest for Pinecrest parents.

Why DEXA for Pinecrest

The scale lies. DEXA tells the truth.

For Pinecrest patients in their 40s and 50s, DEXA answers the two questions that matter most for the next thirty years: is your muscle mass holding (the strongest predictor of healthy aging), and is your bone density on track? One scan a year keeps both honest.

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.

Pinecrest Patient Review
Verified Patient

I turned 50 and wanted real numbers, not reassurance. The scan took fifteen minutes and gave me a spine T-score I could actually act on. I drive up US-1 from Pinecrest every January now — it's my yearly report card.

Pinecrest DEXA FAQs

DEXA scan questions from Pinecrest

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do Pinecrest residents get DEXA scans?
Strong Health's Brickell clinic at 1000 Brickell Plaza — about 10 miles north via US-1, a 22-minute drive from Pinecrest Gardens, or Metrorail from the Dadeland South park-and-ride direct to Brickell station. Walk-ins are welcome and same-week appointments are typical.
At what age should I start tracking bone density?
Earlier than most people think. Peak bone mass arrives around 30 and declines after — for women, sharply after menopause. A baseline DEXA in your 40s gives you a personal reference point, so later scans show your trend rather than comparing you only to population averages. Pinecrest patients often make it part of their annual physical rhythm.
Is DEXA appropriate for teenagers in competitive sports?
For older teen athletes it can be, with physician guidance — the scan is ultra-low radiation (about 1/10th of a chest X-ray) and gives useful lean mass and symmetry data for injury-prone sports. Call the clinic first; our physicians will advise whether a scan makes sense for your athlete's age and situation.
How much does a DEXA scan cost for Pinecrest 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.
