Deciding between the two scan types? See our guides to the [body composition scan](/body-composition-scan) and the [bone density test](/bone-density-test). ## Who Books DEXA Scans in Chamblee? ### Dresden Drive & Rail Trail Professionals The apartments and townhomes filling in along Dresden Drive and around the Chamblee MARTA station belong to people who track everything else in their lives already. DEXA gives them the health metric that matters: lean mass, body fat percentage, and visceral fat measured to within 1-2%, a short walk or rail-trail ride from home instead of a slog down Peachtree into Atlanta. ### Buford Highway Regulars Chamblee's stretch of Buford Highway is one of America's great eating corridors, and nobody should apologize for loving it. DEXA is the honest ledger behind a great food life: it shows whether your weight is muscle or fat, how it's distributed, and how much sits viscerally around the organs. So you can enjoy the dumplings and still steer by real data. ### Adults Screening Bone Density Near Pill Hill With Emory Saint Joseph's and Northside Hospital a short drive around the top of the Perimeter, many Chamblee residents already have physicians who order DXA bone density screening, frequently insurance-covered with documented medical necessity, and covered by Medicare as routine screening. Having the scan minutes away in downtown Chamblee is what makes the follow-up scans actually happen. ## Why Book Your Chamblee DEXA Scan Through Dexascans.com ### A Verified Chamblee-Area Clinic DexaFit Atlanta serves the Chamblee area.

Right in downtown Chamblee: DexaFit Atlanta operates at 5553 Peachtree Road, Suite 180, Chamblee, GA 30341, phone (404) 996-7129. Despite the Atlanta name, the studio sits in Chamblee proper, a short walk from Antique Row and an easy walk or Rail Trail ride from the Chamblee MARTA station. Text or call Dexascans.com at (786) 420-6630 to lock in a time. What does a DEXA scan cost in Chamblee? Each clinic sets its own rates; Dexascans.com doesn't price scans. Cash-pay DEXA in the Chamblee area typically runs $99-$250 depending on whether you want body composition, bone density, or both, with HSA/FSA cards accepted at most locations. That's typically well under what hospital imaging departments around the Perimeter charge for comparable scans. What exactly does the scan measure? A single ten-minute pass measures body fat percentage, lean muscle mass by region (arms, legs, trunk), bone mineral density with T-scores, and, in the complete package, visceral fat, the deep abdominal fat tied to metabolic risk. It's one snapshot of everything a scale, a mirror, and a gym test can only guess at. Is DEXA really better than the InBody machine at my gym? Yes, meaningfully. InBody and other bioimpedance devices estimate composition from an electrical signal, and results can swing 5-8% with hydration. Easy to do after a summer run on the Chamblee Rail Trail or a salty Buford Highway dinner the night before. DEXA measures tissue directly via low-dose X-ray, accurate to about ±1-2% regardless of what you ate or drank. Do I need a referral to book in Chamblee? No referral is needed for a body composition scan, book directly through Dexascans.com. A physician's order comes into play only if you want a bone density scan billed to insurance for osteoporosis screening; self-pay bone density scans at the Peachtree Road studio require no paperwork at all. Will insurance or Medicare cover my scan? Bone density DXA is often covered when a physician (for example, one affiliated with Emory Saint Joseph's or Northside Hospital just around the Perimeter) orders it as medically necessary, and Medicare covers screening bone density scans. Body composition testing is self-pay wellness, priced by the studio (typically $99-$250) and usually payable with HSA/FSA funds. How long will the appointment take, and when do results arrive? About 30 minutes door to door, with 10-15 minutes of actual table time, short enough to fit into a lunch break from a Peachtree Boulevard office or before a PDK departure. Your complete results report arrives within 24 hours. How much radiation is involved? Very little, roughly one-tenth of a chest X-ray, which is less than a normal day of natural background radiation. The scan is painless and non-invasive, and it's safe to repeat every few months to track a training block or a recomposition goal. Can I get to the Chamblee clinic without a car? Yes. This is one of the most transit-friendly DEXA locations in metro Atlanta. Take MARTA's Gold Line to Chamblee station and walk over to 5553 Peachtree Road, or bike in on the Chamblee Rail Trail, which links Keswick Park to the station area. Drivers exit I-285 at Peachtree Industrial Boulevard and park in minutes. Who in Chamblee gets DEXA scans? The young professionals along Dresden Drive and near the MARTA station tracking recomposition; food lovers who work the Buford Highway corridor and want real data instead of scale anxiety; masters athletes on the Rail Trail; and adults 50+ screening bone density close to home rather than trekking to a hospital campus. Text (786) 420-6630 and we'll match the right scan to your goal. ## Where to Get a DEXA Scan in Chamblee Showing the clinic with verified map coordinates in the Chamblee area. - ### DexaFit Atlanta 5553 Peachtree Road, Ste 180 Chamblee, GA 30341 [(404) 996-7129](tel:4049967129) Call to confirm current hours [Check Availability (opens in a new tab)](https://dexascan.com/pages/locations?sca_ref=12064492.8DdjhF7qSFMQF&sca_source=dexascans_ga_chamblee&stockist-query=Chamblee%20GA) [Directions (opens in a new tab)](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=DexaFit%20Atlanta%2C%205553%20Peachtree%20Road%2C%20Ste%20180%2C%20Chamblee%2C%20GA%2C%2030341) ## DEXA Scans in Nearby Cities - [DEXA Scan in Atlanta, GA](/ga/atlanta) [👉 Choose a location in Chamblee (opens in a new tab)](https://dexascan.com/pages/locations?sca_ref=12064492.8DdjhF7qSFMQF&sca_source=dexascans_ga_chamblee&stockist-query=Chamblee%20GA) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Organization", "@id": "https://www.dexascans.com/#organization", "name": "Dexascans.com", "url": "https://www.dexascans.com", "logo": "https://www.dexascans.com/favicon.png" }, { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "MedicalWebPage", "@id": "https://www.dexascans.com/ga/chamblee/#webpage", "url": "https://www.dexascans.com/ga/chamblee", "name": "DEXA Scan in Chamblee, GA | Body Composition & Bone Density", "description": "Chamblee's Own Address for DEXA Precision on Peachtree Road.
