Seeing Dr. Novotny changed my life! I had been a smoker for 9 years and didn't think I could ever quit. She spent plenty of time with me and didn't rush off to another person. She gave me incentive and helpful information that gave me the courage I needed to quit smoking and I have been smoke free now for over a year. Thank you, Dr. Novotny!

I believe that this doctor is extremely knowledgeable in her field, articulate, authentic with her information that she imparts rather than holds back for me to hear or know, AND I think her disposition is very cheerful and positive. Finally, I believe her intention and reason she is in the profession is because she truly cares about people being healthy, wants to educate her patients to be responsible about their choices for health.
