Somewhere between the cold plunge you bought during the pandemic and the supplement drawer you can no longer close, a question starts to form: is any of this actually working?
Miami has built an entire industry around answering that. Longevity clinics have opened across Miami Beach, Midtown, Coral Gables, and Aventura, all promising the same thing in slightly different language—that aging is measurable, and therefore manageable. Some of them are serious medical practices run by board-certified physicians. Others are IV lounges with better lighting.
Here’s how to tell them apart, what the testing actually costs, and the eight clinics in Miami we’d send a friend to.
What a longevity clinic actually is
A longevity clinic sits somewhere between your primary care doctor and a med spa, and the distinction matters more than the marketing suggests.
Your primary care physician is looking for disease. If your bloodwork lands inside the reference range, you’re fine, and the appointment ends. A longevity clinic is looking for trajectory. Same blood draw, different question: not “are you sick,” but “where is this heading, and can we change it?”
In practice, that means a much wider diagnostic net than an annual physical. Expect some combination of expanded bloodwork, hormone panels, inflammatory markers, body composition scanning, cardiorespiratory fitness testing, and biological age estimates. From there, clinics build protocols—hormone optimization, peptides, IV nutrients, supplementation, exercise prescriptions, sleep work, sometimes hyperbaric oxygen or regenerative therapies.
What it isn’t: a guarantee. The diagnostics here are largely real and well-established. A DEXA scan measures what it says it measures, and VO2 max is one of the better-validated predictors of all-cause mortality in medicine. The interventions are a more mixed bag. Some are FDA-approved and decades old. Others are promising, early, and sold with more confidence than the evidence currently supports. A good clinic will tell you which is which without being asked.
What it costs in Miami
Pricing splits into three tiers, and knowing which one you’re shopping in saves a lot of time.
Consultation-first. The lowest barrier to entry. Consultation fees vary by clinic, with a lot of them offering complimentary initial consultations. Several clinics will let you do labs through Quest Diagnostics on your own insurance rather than paying out of pocket onsite. If you want to find out whether any of this is for you, start here.
Program-based. You pay for a diagnostic workup and a protocol, then per treatment. Most Miami clinics operate this way. Costs vary enormously depending on what gets prescribed.
Membership. The high end. Where memberships are published, the top of the Miami market runs from $6,000 to $25,000 a year, typically bundling discounted services, physician access, and events. These make sense if you’re going to be in the chair constantly. They’re an expensive way to buy a few IV drips. Concierge practices like The Agatston Center and SM Concierge Medicine quote privately, and there the membership buys you a doctor rather than a menu.
Almost none of it is covered by insurance. Diagnostic labs sometimes are, if your physician can justify them as medically necessary. Assume the rest is out of pocket and you won’t be surprised.
The Best Longevity Clinics in Miami
BODYWELLE
Best for: People who want the cellular-aging science and an aesthetics crossover in the same practice.
Dr. Alonso Martin came to longevity medicine sideways: neuroscience at UCLA studying oxidative stress and the cellular mechanisms of aging, then an M.D. from Michigan State and a family medicine residency at UC Irvine treating obesity, diabetes, hormonal disorders, and autoimmune disease. The through-line is that he kept seeing symptoms managed and root causes ignored.
BODYWELLE is what he built instead. Every patient starts with diagnostics most practices don’t offer: biological age testing, telomere length analysis, and oxidative stress markers, alongside conventional panels. His framing, “the body is an ecosystem, not a canvas,” is also the practical difference between this and a med spa that added a longevity menu.
Peptide therapy here is goal-led rather than protocol-led, with Dr. Martin building plans around weight management, recovery, sleep, cognition, libido, or skin depending on what you actually came in for. Dish Miami readers can book a complimentary wellness consultation with code DISH. Labs can be run onsite or through Quest if you’re using insurance.
We wrote about the practice at length in our profile of the Miami Beach longevity doctor making 45-year-olds feel 32 again.
BODYWELLE is located at 1060 Alton Rd., Miami Beach, FL 33139. For more information, call 305-877-5084 or visit their official website.
Evolve Longevity
Best for: Athletes and hard trainers who want recovery infrastructure, not a wellness membership.
Evolve draws its own line in the sand on the homepage: “We are not a spa.” The clinic is built for recovery and performance, and the equipment list backs it up. Hyperbaric oxygen, EBOO, shockwave therapy, PEMF, red light, lymphatic drainage, IV therapy, and regenerative medicine all sit under one roof on Washington Avenue in South Beach.
What separates it from the drip-lounge tier is the diagnostic layer underneath. Founder Connor Wade, an open self-experimenter who runs the clinic’s protocols on himself before recommending them, built Evolve around measurement. Comprehensive bloodwork, genetic testing, and biological age assessment are done onsite, along with DEXA scanning and VO2 max testing. Protocols get built around biomarkers rather than how you say you feel.
The medical side is overseen by Dr. Sam Zand, a double board-certified physician serving as medical director, alongside Dr. Gavin Ajami, director of regenerative medicine. Peptides, stem cell therapies, and NAD+ infusions are part of the menu, folded into longer programs rather than sold à la carte.
VIP memberships run $6,000, $10,000, and $25,000 a year, and the top tier is aimed squarely at people for whom this is a primary line item. The good news for everyone else: first consultations are complimentary, so the diagnostic conversation costs you nothing but an afternoon.
Evolve Longevity is located at 555 Washington Ave., Suite 260, Miami Beach, FL 33139. For more information, call 645-220-0575 or visit their official website.
The Agatston Center for Preventive Medicine
Best for: Anyone whose longevity plan starts with their heart.
If you’ve ever had a coronary calcium score, you’ve used Dr. Arthur Agatston’s work. The cardiologist created the Agatston score in the 1980s, and it’s still the standard way doctors measure calcified plaque in the arteries. Most people know him for something else, though: The South Beach Diet.
His concierge practice on Michigan Avenue is the most conventionally medical clinic on this list, and that’s the point. The philosophy fits in a sentence from the center itself: “the best time to treat heart disease is before it develops.” Diagnostics center on the heart, with CT calcium scoring, AI-enabled coronary CTA, and an AI-powered version of the calcium score the center calls Agatston 2.0. Metabolic testing and hormonal health assessments round out the picture.
The longevity program layers sleep, nutrition, fitness planning, and ongoing monitoring on top of full concierge primary care, with same-day or next-day appointments. The bench is deep for a boutique practice. Chief medical officer Dr. Judi Woolger and Drs. Cindy Shaffer and James Trice are all board-certified internists, and Dr. Trice is also board-certified in obesity medicine. You won’t find peptides or regenerative menus here. You’ll find prevention.
Membership fees aren’t published and vary with the care plan. The center operates outside insurance networks, though many patients put diagnostic testing through insurance or an HSA or FSA.
The Agatston Center for Preventive Medicine is located at 1691 Michigan Ave., Suite 300, Miami Beach, FL 33139. For more information, call 305-538-3828 or visit their official website.
the biostation
Best for: Patients who want functional medicine with an established track record and more than one location.
Founded in 2013 by Ross Bloom alongside his father, Dr. Martin G. Bloom, the biostation predates most of Miami’s longevity boom. That longevity, the institutional kind, is the pitch.
The approach is functional medicine and healthy aging rather than single-concern treatment. Programs span weight management, cognitive function, recovery, hormone balance, immune health, sexual wellness, and skin rejuvenation, with providers tailoring compounds and protocols to health history rather than running everyone through the same sequence.
The biostation has a location in Midtown and another inside the Carillon Miami Wellness Resort in Miami Beach.
the biostation has multiple locations, including Midtown Miami (115 NE 32nd St., Suite 102, Miami, FL 33127), 305-907-2550, and the Carillon Miami Wellness Resort (6801 Collins Ave., Miami Beach, FL 33141). For more information, visit their official website.
Hall Longevity Clinic
Best for: People ready to pay for a physician relationship, not a treatment menu.
Dr. Michael J. Hall has been practicing in Miami Beach for more than two decades, which in this category makes him something close to an elder statesman. He’s board-certified in family medicine, did fellowship training in integrative and functional medicine at the University of Miami, and has a book, Infinite Youth: Solving the Aging Equation, on the way. His clinic on Meridian Avenue is about as direct a fit for the word “longevity” as Miami has.
The workup is thorough. Expanded Quest bloodwork covers cardiometabolic, inflammatory, hormonal, and nutrient markers, and there’s a full hormone panel, GI-MAP stool testing, toxic-metals screening, a body composition and performance assessment, and the Galleri multi-cancer early detection blood test for eligible patients. Hall organizes all of it around his own framework, the “Aging Funnel,” before anything gets prescribed.
The treatment side reaches further out: hormone therapy when it’s clinically appropriate, peptides, and regenerative medicine that includes exosomes and other therapies still well ahead of the evidence. To the clinic’s credit, its own site says so, with evidence caveats and links to FDA warnings sitting next to the service descriptions. That’s rarer than it should be, and it’s exactly the transparency we tell readers to look for.
This is the most expensive consultation on the list, and Hall publishes it rather than making you ask. An in-office consult starts at $750 and telemedicine at $500, plus a $100 non-refundable booking fee. The clinic doesn’t accept insurance, Medicare included. Longer-term patients move into the Hall Continuum, a concierge membership whose terms are set privately. The tagline sums up the pitch: “Longevity is not a visit. It is a relationship.”
Hall Longevity Clinic is located at 1680 Meridian Ave., Suite 601, Miami Beach, FL 33139. For more information, call 305-672-4733 or visit their official website.
Integrative Health Miami
Best for: Patients who want a board-certified internist running the whole plan.
Dr. Yeisel Barquin is a board-certified internal medicine physician, and Integrative Health Miami reads like a practice built by one. Every patient starts with a comprehensive medical consultation—history, goals, underlying concerns—before anything gets prescribed.
The emphasis here is explicitly not on chasing the newest compound. Depending on need, therapy might support tissue recovery, hormone balance, athletic performance, chronic pain, or general vitality, delivered by injection, nasal spray, or topical cream. Protocols get monitored and adjusted as goals shift, with everything positioned as one component of preventive care rather than the point of it.
The practice is based in Coral Gables, on South Le Jeune Road.
Integrative Health Miami is located at 2655 S. Le Jeune Rd., Suite 902, Miami, FL 33134. For more information, call 305-456-6026 or visit their official website.
Longevity Institute Miami
Best for: North Miami-Dade residents, and anyone whose longevity goals start with their joints.
Dr. Nina Gupta has spent more than 37 years in medicine, starting with internal medicine and then pulmonary and critical care training at SUNY in Brooklyn. She’s a fellow in anti-aging and regenerative medicine through the A4M, and her practice off West Dixie Highway is the only one on this list in Aventura. That’s a real advantage if Aventura is home.
Longevity work starts with a healthspan evaluation that tracks the markers preventive cardiologists care about, including ApoB, Lp(a), hs-CRP, fasting insulin, and A1c, with continuous glucose monitoring available. Hormone panels, nutrient levels, body composition, bone density, and biological age testing fill in the rest. From there, protocols can include bioidentical hormone therapy for women and men, peptides, NAD+ and IV nutrition, and brain health and sleep support. The guiding line from the clinic: “Treat the individual, not simply a laboratory number or diagnosis.”
The regenerative side is what sets it apart. Ultrasound-guided joint injections, PRP, and mesenchymal stem cell therapy target knees, shoulders, hips, and tendons. Go in with clear eyes. The clinic itself notes that many stem cell products are not FDA-approved for orthopedic conditions, and that insurance generally won’t cover them. That candor is worth something. So is getting the evidence conversation in writing before you commit.
The practice is direct-pay, with upfront pricing quoted after evaluation and superbills available for HSA and FSA reimbursement.
Longevity Institute Miami is located at 20200 W. Dixie Hwy., Suite 808I, Miami, FL 33180. For more information, call 305-934-9149 or visit their official website.
SM Concierge Medicine
Best for: People who want one doctor managing everything, longevity included.
SM Concierge Medicine is the clearest illustration on this list of ongoing care versus one-off treatments. Most longevity clinics sell you a workup and a protocol. This one sells you a doctor. Dr. Samuel Maghidman, trained in internal medicine and infectious disease at the University of Texas at Houston, has run a concierge practice in Miami Beach for more than 15 years, with admitting privileges at Mount Sinai Medical Center and Mercy Hospital.
Membership covers unlimited in-clinic and virtual visits, round-the-clock messaging and telehealth access to Dr. Maghidman, same-day or next-day appointments, and house or office calls when appropriate. The practice’s own line: “Medicine as it should be: unhurried, precise, and deeply personal.”
The Longevity Program sits on top of that primary care, and its testing day is one of the most comprehensive in the city. It includes more than 60 lab biomarkers, NAD+ levels, biological age and speed-of-aging analysis, genetic testing, advanced cardiovascular risk profiling, neurocognitive and microbiome markers, a total-body MRI, DEXA, VO2 max, and resting metabolic rate. Plans get reassessed every three to six months, which is exactly the kind of follow-up schedule you should be asking every clinic about. A dietitian and a personal trainer are on the team.
Pricing isn’t published, so expect a conversation before a number.
SM Concierge Medicine is located at 4308 Alton Rd., Suite 920, Miami Beach, FL 33140. For more information, call 305-999-5675 or visit their official website.
How to vet a longevity clinic
Five questions that separate a medical practice from a membership business.
Who is actually prescribing? Ask for the name and credentials of the physician or nurse practitioner overseeing your protocol, and ask whether you’ll see that person again. A clinic that can’t answer this quickly is telling you something.
What gets measured before anything gets prescribed? A meaningful baseline should exist before you start. If a clinic is ready to sell you a protocol before it has seen any labs, that’s a retail transaction wearing a white coat.
What’s the follow-up schedule? Repeat testing during active treatment is how anyone knows whether it’s working. Ask for the interval in writing.
What’s the total cost? Consultation, labs, medication, supplies, and follow-ups. Get the full number before you commit, not one surprise charge at a time.
Will they tell you what’s experimental? This is the real test. Some of what’s on offer is decades old and well studied, while some is newer. A clinician who distinguishes between the two without being pushed is one worth keeping.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a longevity clinic cost in Miami?
Consultation fees vary by clinic, with a lot of them offering complimentary introductory visits. Program costs depend entirely on what’s prescribed. Published annual memberships at the high end of the Miami market range from $6,000 to $25,000, and concierge practices quote privately. Most of it is out of pocket, though diagnostic labs are sometimes billable to insurance.
Is biological age testing legitimate?
Biological age estimates are real measurements, but they’re estimates, and different methods can return different numbers for the same person. Treat the result as a trend line to track over time rather than a verdict. The underlying markers—inflammation, metabolic health, body composition, cardiorespiratory fitness—are more useful than the single headline number.
What’s the difference between a longevity clinic and a med spa?
A med spa is organized around how you look; a longevity clinic is organized around how you function, with diagnostics driving the plan. The categories overlap in Miami, and several practices do both. If a clinic’s intake process is a menu rather than a workup, you’re in a med spa. For the aesthetics side, see our guide to the best med spas in Miami.
Does insurance cover longevity medicine?
Generally no. Some diagnostic labs can be run through insurance when a physician can justify them as medically necessary, and several Miami clinics will accommodate that through Quest. Treatments, memberships, and most testing are out of pocket.
Where should I start?
Start with a consultation focused on your goals, medical history, and the full cost of any proposed plan. Ask what testing is recommended, what it costs, and who will oversee your follow-up care.
The bottom line
The best thing a longevity clinic gives you isn’t a protocol. It’s a baseline. A real one, with numbers you can check again in six months. Everything downstream of that is a judgment call about cost and evidence that you’re entitled to make with full information.
Miami’s better clinics will give you that information without being asked. The rest will sell you a membership. Now you know which questions tell you which one you’re sitting in.
