I'm 35 years old and have a 1 and a half year old daughter. My daughter and I have never been apart from since day She was born. So Last week when I couldn't move because of sudden nauseating pain in my stomach I put off getting checked as long as I could then got ambulance ride to hospital. Dr Novak and his team got me comfortable then rancatscan. They discovered an angry looking appendix and possible colitis and explained next step and made me feel so reassured about everything. Dr Novak spoke to me several times before surgery and he has awesome bedside manor that more Drs should take lesson in. Even tho he's on high demand from what I saw in my 3 day stay, he never seemed rushed b but was efficient.. Thanks again Dr Novak and your team. Because of your angels I get to playwith mine again ( a week after surgery) Amazing job and I would recommend you to everyone! Selfishly though i probably won't, just incase I ever need a good surgeon again again lol ??

I was referred to Dr. Novak, due to lousy veins, I found his staff very personable. I absolutely would refer him to everyone. He has a great bedside manner and he is a amazing skilled surgeon. Dr. Novak is what people look for when they see a surgeon.

Brushed off my concerns like nothing, hated him. He did a surgery on my foot which i paid for out of pocket, when i wasnt completely satisfied with it and told him my concerns he just said it was nothing.
