When I ended up at the Hospital for major surgery, I did not know what to expect. I had never been hospitalized before. I realized that I was lost and had no clue who to trust. A friend instantly signed me up with MDVIP and Dr. Israel Wacks in Jupiter, Florida. The dark days and even darker nights at the ICU were lit up by the visits of Dr. Wacks. He came several times a day and checked on me and…

Doctor Israel Wacks has been my primary care physician for almost 14 years. I am 85 years old and he has always been available to see me and resolve any medical problems that I have.. This is especially difficult because of my allergetic reaction to most medicines. Because of Doctor Wacks, I live a normal lifel.,
confident that he will always know exactly what to do.

Dr. Wacks employs great care and attention to me, as a patient. He looks beyond the obvious and doesn't hesitate to consult with other physicians.
I feel cared for and appreciated yet he never condescends and always respects my level of intelligence.

I’ve been a patient of Dr.Wacks for about 3 years. He’s a highly competent doctor who truly cares for all of his patients. He always provides excellent colleague references should you require a specialist. Dr. Wacks has personally helped both my husband and I align with the best specialists for recent emergency procedures. He’s highly respected and regarded throughout the medical community. I highly recommend him.

Not Happy that Dr Israel Wacks would not see me , I am a member of MDVIP which cost 1500 a year just to see certain doctors that belong to this group .
I am from NJ and when I am out of town it is a benefit to see doctors at any other State.
I am disappointed that a Physician would not see me if I am not feeling well.
I was told to go to urgent care

My experience with Dr. Israel Wacks over the last two years has been positive without exception. I have referred friends and family members to Dr. Wacks and they also have received exemplary care. He is responsive to every call and highly competent. I actually enjoy my visits to his office.

We met Dr. Wacks in the ER at Jupiter Medical Center in 2017 at 1am after my Father was taken there due to a fall. Dad was 83 at the time. We liked him immediately! The kind manner in which he delt with me, who was panicking, was much appreciated, and he knew exactly what was wrong with my Father, and basically saved his life. It was a hard time in our Family, because we had recently lost my Mother...My Father and I became his patients right away, and are very thankful to Dr. Wacks for the expert care he has given to my Father, who turned 86 on June 30th, and just came back from a cruise to Bermuda! His concierge service, and the respect he has in the medical community is priceless. Many Thanks Dr. Wacks!

Frequently Asked Questions

Doctors who operate in the MDVIP models typically see far fewer patients than traditional primary care doctors. That gives them more time to develop deeper doctor-patient relationships that can lead to better outcomes. They can also offer conveniences that most primary care doctors can’t, including same- and next-day appointments. They’re available after hours for urgent matters. And they have time to focus on prevention. That focus begins with the MDVIP Wellness Program, which patients pay for with their annual membership fee.

Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.

MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.
