I've been with Dr Nowak for 15 years. He has always been thoughtful and kind. A great listener. he has gone above and beyond my expectations as a psychiatrist. I would gladly recommend him to all my friends and have done so in the past.

Dr. Nowak is great, although his PAS may be checkered, whose isn't? He NEVER lets me down, and often will manipulate his OWN schedule to meet mine. DO NOT listen to the pill chasers that were denied their fix. He is a great Man, and a great psychiatrist. Look around. There are none better, he fixed my life, now I am back on top. THANK YOU DR. NOWAK!!

Ive seen Dr. Nowak for years. Never had a problem in any circumstance. Wait time is pretty short. Always greeted with respect and a smile. He has helped me tremendously and always a good listener.

I do not need hand holding I need competency. He is both compassionate, competent and a good listener. I come prepared for my session with questions or concerns but either way he addresses my concerns and asks questions before prescribing.I worked as a nurse for many years and was happy to find such a great Dr. in the area.

Dr. Nowak basically let me diagnose my issues and tell him what the problem was. He never asked questions or inquired any further. He then prescribed medication that was on an allergy list that I provided to him. Appointments were short and he paid little attention to me or my condition. Very impersonal on all counts. The office work is disorganized and accounting is poor at best. An antiquated system of appointments and accounting; An insurance reimbursement nightmare. Steer clear if you can.
