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.

Testimonials from patients of Robert A. Wacks, MD

Dr. Wacks is THE BEST

from TERRY in FL • May 10, 2021
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 rounded Read more...

We love Dr Wacks!

Dr. Robert Whacks MD

from Walter in FL • March 10, 2020
"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 Read more...

Goes above and beyond

from Rocco and Jennifer in FL • March 2, 2020
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 room Read more...

Dr. Wacks ALWAYS goes above the call of duty!

from Shavawn in FL • February 27, 2020
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.
