For thirty-one years, Dr. James E. Vanek has kept one promise to West Palm Beach: appointments that run long enough to actually listen. No conveyor-belt medicine. No seven-minute visits. Just a careful, board-certified internist and a small team that remembers your name.
Dr. Vanek built his West Palm Beach clinic around a simple conviction: good medicine takes time. While larger networks cycle through thirty patients a day, this practice caps daily appointments at fourteen — leaving room to think, to ask the second question, and to call you back personally when labs come in.
That philosophy has earned the practice three decades of word-of-mouth referrals across Palm Beach County, from Northwood to Wellington. Patients stay an average of eleven years. New ones are welcomed the same way: with a sixty-minute first visit, not a fifteen-minute one.
Transparent pricing for self-pay patients. Most major insurance accepted — final co-pay varies by plan. Indicative cash rates listed below.
Comprehensive 60-minute wellness visit: full history review, cardiovascular screening, age-appropriate cancer surveillance, vaccination updates, and a personalized prevention plan. Includes EKG and basic metabolic panel.
Ongoing care for hypertension, Type 2 diabetes, thyroid disorders, asthma, and hyperlipidemia. Quarterly check-ins, lab trend tracking, and direct coordination with your specialists when referrals are needed.
CBC, comprehensive metabolic panel, lipid panel, A1C, TSH, and vitamin D. Drawn on-site; results reviewed with you by phone within 48 hours.
Same-day or next-day appointments for respiratory infections, minor injuries, rashes, urinary concerns, and unexplained symptoms. On-site rapid testing available.
Secure video visit for medication adjustments, lab reviews, and chronic care check-ins. Available to established patients across Florida.
Thirty-minute minimums on follow-ups. Sixty minutes for new patients. Dr. Vanek refuses to run a stopwatch on your health concerns.
When you call, you reach Dr. Vanek's team — not a call center. When results come in, he calls you personally to discuss them.
Dr. Vanek is certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine, with hospital privileges at Jupiter Medical Center and Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center.
Three decades of multi-generational care. We treat parents, their adult children, and in several cases, grandchildren — all under one roof.
