It is very rare to find such a wonderful doctor in Dr. Novak. He is very caring and is very clear on explaining your results and consultation/diagnosis. He is terrific in prompt follow up and contacts you personally by phone. I wish all my doctors were like Dr. Novak....it is a great pleasure to have him as my doctor. Highly recommend him as a nephrologist.

Dr. Novak is an extremely talented doctor who performed 2 different surgeries for me. Both were very successful, he is a warm friendly doctor, his for us is on you when you're with him, not like some doctors who seem to have mentally moved on. I have trusted him with my life twice now and if I ever need surgery again I hope he's the one that can do it. He also has an awesome staff.

Dr. Novak was my surgeon in Cincinnati. I'll never forget his compassion and comprehension of what I was going throughout the time of my beast cancer diagnosis. I still get compliments from other health professionals on the lack of scarring of my incision now 18 yrs. later.

Dr Novack is a doctor who is not afraid of difficult cases. He is experienced incaring for chronic pain patients who require surgical care. He understands back pain and its effects on recovery and lying on a hard OR table. He goes the extra mile to provide a comfortable experience.
