In October 2022 I was feeling bloated and like something was just not right. Dr. Wacks had me come in immediately and four days later I was having emergency surgery at 6:30 AM. He took immediate action, arranged necessary medical testing within a day and put together the team that hopefully eradicated my ovarian cancer. Every action he took, was with tenderness, professionalism, and great care… See more

On the two occasions when I was hospitalized, my physician, Israel Wacks, personally visited me. As hospitals are increasingly relying on hospitalists, I appreciated a visit from my own longtime internist. He knows me better than any hospitalist possibly could. Also, Dr. Wacks is easily found at all hours. Sometimes when I call, he picks up his mobile phone. Better than having me leave… See more
Dr. Wacks cares about his patients . As we get older this means so much.
Dr Wacks saw a slight discoloration on my upper left arm during my annual physical. Suggested it be checked out by my dermatologist Dr. Fayne. Turns out it was a melanoma that was eventual cut out completely. Thanks Dr. Wacks.
I have only seen my physician 3 times for my annual physical. It is professional and thorough and his guidance and advice has been right on the money. At 89years,it is just what I need plus his staff privileges at my 2nearest hospitals.
I have been a patient of Dr. Wacks for over 13 years. He is the best in so many ways. I could relate many stories, but chose to mention a few:
1) I had open heart surgery in 2022. I was in intensive care for 7 days. Dr. Wacks visited me and checked my status every day (including weekend).
2)One of our sons, who is a type 1 diabetic was living in Saudi Arabia with his family and… See more
In January 2023, I was experiencing unexplained fatigue and obvious cardiac arrythmia. I tried to find a cardiologist and I could only get an appointment four months out. I had a sense of doom and called my concierge doctor, Israel Wacks. He got me an appointment right away, a heart monitor was provided, and it almost immediately confirmed serious arrythmia. Two days later I was… See more
When my wife and I moved to the Jupiter area I had no doctor so I asked then-neighbor Ron Baker, a local hospital administrator, if he could tell me who he thought was the best internist in our area. His opinion was that Isreal Wacks was the best. I was slow to make a contact with Dr. Wacks office, but when I did I discovered he had become affiliated with MDVIP and was no longer in private… See more
My situation was rather complex and various options were available. Dr. Wacks helped me figure out which course to take. The reults have been excellent and I only went the route that I did because of him. And, very importantly he really cares which helps a lot.
