Why DEXA for South Miami

The scale lies. DEXA tells the truth.

With South Miami Hospital anchoring the neighborhood, locals know the difference between wellness marketing and clinical measurement. DEXA is the latter — the same dual-energy X-ray technology used in research, with numbers precise enough to base real decisions on.

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.

South Miami Patient Review
Verified Patient

I'm an RN near South Miami Hospital and I've seen what bad metabolic health does. Took the Metrorail up after a night shift, scanned in fifteen minutes. My visceral fat was higher than my BMI suggested — exactly the early warning I preach to patients.

South Miami DEXA FAQs

DEXA scan questions from South Miami

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get to the DEXA clinic from South Miami?
Easiest: Metrorail from South Miami station (at Sunset Place) direct to Brickell station, about 20 minutes, then a 6-minute walk to 1000 Brickell Plaza. Driving up US-1 takes about 18 minutes outside rush hour, with validated parking at the Brickell Plaza garage.
Can healthcare workers from the hospital district book around shifts?
Yes — the clinic is open 8 AM to 6 PM weekdays and Saturday mornings 9 AM to 1 PM, and the full visit takes about 30 minutes. Nurses and staff from the South Miami Hospital area often book post-shift morning slots or Saturday walk-ins. Your PDF report arrives within 24 hours.
How does DEXA compare to the body fat testing at local gyms?
Gym methods — BIA scales, handheld devices, calipers — carry 5–8% error and swing with hydration. DEXA's margin is 1–2%, with regional breakdowns (arms, legs, trunk), visceral fat isolation, and bone density that no gym test provides. It's the difference between an estimate and a measurement.
How much does a DEXA scan cost for South Miami 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.
