DEXA Scans
Our full-body DEXA scans provide precise measurements of visceral fat, lean muscle mass, and bone health. This gold-standard technology offers more accurate insights than traditional BMI metrics by distinguishing fat distribution patterns. Early detection of unhealthy fat accumulation helps prevent chronic diseases like diabetes and cardiovascular conditions through targeted lifestyle interventions.

This service accommodates medication reviews, minor health issues, and follow-up discussions without requiring office visits. Our secure platform ensures continuity of care for established patients needing flexible scheduling options.

Our approach addresses energy optimization, metabolic health improvement, and stress management through sustainable interventions.

I have been a patient at American Health Center for almost 10 years. Dr. Nisha Patel, Angelika, and Mike, along with the whole staff, provide wonderful support and care for a range of medical considerations. In addition to on-site visits, I've utilized telemedicine in a bind a few times and it's worked so efficiently to troubleshoot my issues and determine a treatment plan. I highly recommend American Health Center.

Angelika is a fantastic provider. I have extreme anxiety when it comes to medical procedures, tests and needles. Yet, Angelika made me feel 100% comfortable and didn't make me feel guilty with having those anxieties. She truly cares about her patients, takes the time needed to understand your concerns and issues to be able to provide the best possible treatment. I highly recommend Angelika. As for the aesthetic side of the practice, Andriana is fantastic.
She helped me overcome those same fears listed above so I was finally be able to go through with a procedure that I've wanted for 5 years. Even Angelika came over to help me through the procedure. The whole team is so caring and genuinely cares about their patients.

Hello, If you are looking for a doctors who truly cares about your health-Dr. Patel and nurse Angelika at American Health Center are truly wonderful. I have been seeing both as my primary care for just over 2 years. I went into early menopause at 45 (4 years ago) which caused extreme insomnia and anxiety. There were many visits-I came in-in tears due to extreme fatigue & family stress. I cannot tell you how much they both helped me with so much compassion.
Just knowing a doctor will listen and not rush you out of their office-is tremendous with the state of healthcare, today. I am off all prescription meds for sleep and finally have my hormones balanced from Bio-identical pellet therapy. I do see a hormone specialist as I was a complicated case & ended up needing a minor surgery to remove polyps before I could get my hormones balanced. Bottom line-Dr. Patel and Angelika stood by and supported me in every possible way. My fifteen year old daughter now sees Angelika as her primary care doctor. Highly recommended.

I started going to American Health Center about two years ago. They were highly recommended by a friend and I couldn't be happier with my decision to switch! The entire staff is fantastic and for someone like me who has severe white coat syndrome, they always go the extra mile to make sure I'm comfortable. I've been seen by both Dr. Nisha and Angelika - you can't go wrong with either! I go very often and I don't think ive ever waited longer than 5-10 minutes to be seen. Usually its immediately. They're the best and you won't be disappointed
