About Five Element Wellness Center

What is Five Element Wellness Center?

Five Element Wellness Center is an acupuncture and integrative medicine practice with offices in Coral Springs and Weston, Florida, open for more than 20 years. Acupuncture is the core of the practice. It's led by founder and clinical director Dr. Monique G. Rodriguez, L.Ac, D.Ac., an acupuncture physician. Its medical director is Dr. Alexander Landfield, MD, and the team also includes Dr. Ana Ramirez, MD, RN, L.Ac, alongside several licensed acupuncturists.

It offers medical weight loss and peptide therapy. Its weight loss programs combine acupuncture with GLP-1 shots, supplements, injections and coaching, and it offers three programs to choose from. It doesn't name which GLP-1 medication it uses. It also has a peptide therapy menu that names BPC-157, TB-500, CJC-1295 / Ipamorelin, Tesamorelin, Thymosin Alpha, MOTS-C, AOD-9604, Epitalon, PT-141 and others. It addresses hormones through acupuncture and herbs rather than hormone replacement. Other services include fertility treatment, pain management, B12 and vitamin C injections, red light therapy and cosmetic acupuncture.

What does it cost?

Prices for its weight loss and peptide programs aren't posted; it asks you to call for pricing. It takes insurance: it is a provider for United Healthcare, Aetna and Cigna, accepts PPO plans from Blue Cross Blue Shield and Humana, and handles Workman's Comp, PIP and VA cases. It also accepts CareCredit and Cherry.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who prescribes the GLP-1 shots and whether you'll meet that doctor. Ask which GLP-1 medication it uses, whether it's brand-name or compounded, and what a month costs with the medication included. Ask whether your insurance covers any part of a weight loss or peptide program, or only the acupuncture visits. For peptides, ask which pharmacy supplies them and what each one costs. Ask which office you'd be seen at, since the two keep different hours.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want acupuncture at the center of your care and are open to adding GLP-1 shots or peptides, in Coral Springs or Weston, and you'd like a practice that takes some insurance.
