While continuing to enjoy his urologic practice, Dr. Waxman began another venture:  the passionate pursuit of all aspects of wellness.  He realized that his busy schedule often lead to a less than desirable lifestyle which was taking its toll on many aspects of his well-being.  He encouraged his wife Dr. Sulak to join him on this journey.  Together, they made personal wellness a priority in their life and created Living WELL Aware, a comprehensive, scientifically based wellness educational program.  Dr. Waxman is the mastermind behind Living WELL Aware continually pursuing the best in wellness information and implementation strategies and providing inspiration in his dynamic presentations.  

 

While Jeff continues his pediatric urologist practice, he assists Dr. Sulak in conducting wellness conferences around the country.  They share not only the scientific information on wellness but their personal journey on how Living WELL Aware has elevated their lives to degrees they never dreamed possible.  Their mission is to improve the well-being of anyone who desires to take ownership of their life and achieve greater livelihood and longevity by Living WELL Aware
