Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great listener
He has never given me the impression he is in a hurry. He takes the time to listen and explain my options.

Dr Novak owes me a shot in my foot since it didn't
Foot since the one he gave me went all over the paper and not in my foot. I had to wait forever for NOTHING!!! I would like to know if he was having problems why did he not have someone else do it. I had to miss work to day because of the pain. I do not expect to be charged for something I did not receive.

Successful Joint Fusion Surgery
I'd been treated by Dr. Novak and we successfully avoided surgery with injections for over a year. In January I had my joints fused and a hammer toe straightened. The surgery went well, it's a long recovery but I'm doing well. Dr. Novak is so thorough and takes time to answer questions, etc. I have complete confidence in him and would recommend highly.

Excellent care from his entire team
Had a devastating foot injury which keeps me away from caring for my special-needs BFF. Dr Novak fixed me up and his team has been fantastic! They all have great personalities and do very professional work to keep me informed and comfortable. The silver lining of this ordeal has been meeting Dr Novak and his staff. I'm finally down to one crutch and there's light at the end of this long tunnel and hope to get back to work soon. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Direct and caring
I have been seeing Dr. Novak for a few years now. He has guided me through a conservative approach to care. He has helped me evaluate the approach to care and I feel like we teamed up on my care versus just getting told what is going to happen. I trust the advice he provides.
