About The Provider
A North Canton, Ohio native, Dr. Wakser graduated from Ohio State University in Columbus with a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience. He earned his Doctor of Medicine from the University of Toledo College of Medicine and recently completed an Internal Medicine Residency with Saint Joseph Hospital in Denver, Colorado. Dr. Wakser’s clinical interests include preventive medicine and geriatric health.
“When completing my medical training, I quickly realized that creating strong bonds with my patients was the most gratifying aspect of practicing medicine, which led me to pursue a career in internal medicine. I am passionate about getting to know my patients so that medical decisions can be made as a patient-doctor team, allowing each patient to receive individualized care. In addition to managing complex medical problems with an evidence-based approach, I also focus on wellness by emphasizing the importance of lifestyle in preventing disease from occurring in the first place.”
Dr. Wakser enjoys spending his time outside the office skiing, hiking, playing tennis, caring for his many house plants, and listening to his vinyl record collection.

Dr. Wakser was absolutely exceptional. A fantastic listener, professional and caring manner, and he took immediate action and made practical and helpful recommendations as to all the concerns I brought to my annual physical.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 11/26/2025
Not only does he listen carefully, and explain all options, but after blood work, he ensures that I get the results as soon as he them. His explanations of the results are so clear, that there is no way to not understand them. And he always points out the positive changes, and never put me down when the results aren't as good as we wanted. I really like having him as my primary doctor and am glad that is he young, so that he won't retire for a very long time.

Dr. Wakser embodies what a physician should be, caring for the holistic needs of patients. While you can rely on individuals for that kind of care, an organization is a title, and as such is not capable of demonstrating such care.

I just very much appreciate having a doctor that doesn't blow me off or dismiss my stressors. I'm still playing catch up on going to the doctor because medical stuff puts me over the edge with stress. Dr. Wakser makes sure I feel heard, and my concerns are addressed. I'm very grateful I found him to take over my care, and look forward to continuing to work together.

Dr. Wakser always comes into the room with a smile on his face and takes the time to listen to my concerns, and go over everything that I bring in on a list. We talk about treatment options instead of him just making decisions for me. I like that we discuss things. That two-way communication is one reason why I really like working with him.
