Dr. Wacks is sooooooooooooooo good that this elderly woman (83 this year) has not found it necessary to consult with Doctor Wacks at all between routine annual checkups for several years! He has helped me maintain an excellent health status.

Dr. Wacks provides thorough and compassionate medical care. He takes the time to explain and talk to his patients. Thank you for the exceptional care provided during my hospitalization at JMC!!

this doctor is pleasant but not involved. There is very little advice given even when opinion is asked for. I have never had a personal inquiry, from this doctor, even after having 2 rather difficult illness. I feel if one wants a MDVIP doctor one should really do their homework.

My very healthy father, who was in his early sixties, suffered a small cerebral bleed after recently starting blood thinners. Unfortunately, we made the decision to call 911 and have him taken to Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center. For reason's I cannot understand, this kidney doctor gave him a Coumidan which triggered a huge bleed that resulted in his death. I would advise staying far away from him and PBGMC.
