Dr. Carmen Jiménez, is a Florida-licensed Acupuncture Physician and Doctor of Oriental Medicine at Cosmopolitan Healing Center in Plantation, FL. She holds a Doctor of Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine (DAHM) from Daoist Traditions College, a Master of Science in Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine from Yo San University (Los Angeles, CA), and a Bachelor of Arts from Cornell University (Ithaca, NY). She is a nationally board-certified Diplomate of Acupuncture (NCCAOM) and is certified in Acupoint Injection Therapy.

With nearly two decades of experience, Dr. Jiménez specializes in stress physiology, burnout recovery, nervous system dysregulation, chronic fatigue, hormonal imbalance, anxiety, and insomnia — particularly in high-achieving adults whose symptoms haven't fully resolved with conventional care.

Her integrative approach combines Classical Chinese Medicine, acupuncture, herbal medicine, bio-energetic medicine, and functional physiology to identify and treat the root patterns behind persistent symptoms — not just manage them. She is trained in advanced techniques including Bio-Energetic Medicine, Total Body Modification (TBM), Evolutionary Quantum Healing Technique (EQHT), and Neuro Emotional Technique (NET).

Prior to clinical practice, Dr. Jiménez managed and developed clinical trials for pharmaceutical companies domestically and internationally — giving her a uniquely grounded perspective on both conventional and integrative medicine.

She is bilingual in English and Spanish and offers in-person care in Plantation, FL and virtual consultations throughout Florida.
