He knows you, he listens to you. There are several times that he kept me alive. But what he is really about is this. 2019 I am in the ICU in pretty bad shape. At 6AM, I look up and there is Bob Wacks. I asked what the hell he was doing there. He said that he just wanted to make sure that I was ok. I am 73 years old and have my share of hospitalizations. Never has my primary care doctor… See more

My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...
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.

"Dr Whacks is my VIP doctor for about two years. I am a 63 year old active male with lifetime of gyms, machine Pilates and hot yoga as well hiking and biking etc. Right from the get go at our initial visit he discovered what previous doctors, of several years didn't, that my blood hemoglobin was too high (17+) and prescribed donating blood every two weeks to get the elevated blood… See more
Dr Wacks always responds to a phone call and will see us or send in a prescription right away. He’s the doctor with the old-school “bedside” manner. He listens, he really cares and he keeps up with the latest medical developments. What truly stands out, however, is the time a friend of ours visiting from abroad had a situation in which his own doctor told him to get to the nearest emergency… See more
I love Dr. Wacks. He and his staff feel like family. There have been countless times where he has taken my husband and myself to the pharmacy and he even made a call to get me in with a specialist and his nurse, Arlene, gave me a ride there and picked me up!
I am grateful for the care we have received.

Dr. Wacks and his staff are wonderful. If it wasn't for Robert Wacks, I would not be here today. He has saved my life more than once. As a stage IV cancer patient, I am an ongoing project.
He is knowledgeable and kind. He is efficient and always there when you need him. They don't make doctors like him anymore, that is for sure.
With his ongoing help we have built a… See more
My husband and I recently became patients of Dr. Wacks. We have found him, and his staff, to be professional, caring, and extremely responsive. He recently diagnosed me with high cholesterol, which I have fought for years. He suggested a simply CT test, which confirmed his analysis, and convinced me to finally take medication. He probably saved me from a heart attack or stroke. He explained… See more
He is always there for me and is the best!
