Dr. Wacks

Meet Robert A. Wacks, MD


The most important quality a physician can have to better the health and wellness of his/her patients is the ability to listen. As an MDVIP-affiliated physician, I partner with my patients to learn their unique histories and create a health and wellness plan that suits their individual needs and goals. I address acute illness immediately in my office or at the hospital. We will collaborate to ensure you stay on your own path to wellness and to help you achieve and maintain your health. In order to do this, I focus on early detection and prevention in the key areas of cardiac care, bone health, respiratory care, diabetes, fitness, nutrition and more. 

Visits last as long as necessary and are scheduled at your convenience.  For patients who cannot come to my office due to medical reasons, I am often able to make house calls. As a private doctor, I am available when my patients need me, including evenings, weekends and holidays. My MDVIP-affiliated practice, often compared to a concierge medicine practice, also offers conveniences like same- or next-day appointments. In my personalized healthcare practice, you are the center of attention. 

I have been an attending physician at St. Mary’s Medical Center and Good Samaritan Medical Center for over 30 years. It is my firm belief that if you are hospitalized, the doctor who cares for you should be the doctor who knows you best. I also care for my patients who are in rehabilitation facilities and nursing homes. I will be your advocate, as well as your physician, to help you and your family navigate our complex healthcare system. 

My primary care internal medicine practice serves all of Palm Beach County, Florida, including Palm Beach, West Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, Royal Palm Beach, Wellington, Lake Worth and Boca Raton. I also see patients from Martin and St. Lucie counties.

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.

Tribute to Robert A. Wacks, M.D.

from Daniel Leslie in FL • February 10, 2024
My husband and I have been patients of Dr. Wacks long before he joined the MDVIP group. He is always there for us when needed. If not for him, Daniel would not have had a life saving procedure for his heart because we were not aware of any condition he had. I know when I call his office he will return my call that day and calm me down as I have full faith in his help. We hope Dr. Wacks will Read more...

Dr. Wacks is the best!

from Audrey in FL • February 10, 2024
I woke up with a shooting pain in my foot. Knowing that Dr. Wacks would see me the same day made me feel comforted. He checked it out thoroughly ( as he always does everything) gave me medication and voila - no more pain. He takes the time to listen and both my husband and I adore him.

Dear Dr Wacks

from Patricia in FL • January 19, 2024
Dr Wacks told me I had to stop drinking alcohol, it showed in my labs accident prone frequencies among other concerns.
He said it in a serious yet gentle voice. He leaned forward towards me and said, “You can do this, you can, you can do it.” The kind caring and true concern look on his face remains with me always…I stopped drinking am alive and well yet I still have one day at a time to go Read more...
