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.

Kidney specialist
Dr. Novak visit me at kidney dialysis once a month which is perfect. He always explains everything and doesn't rush you so he can leave. He can also make one laugh which is good when you are on those machines.

This man is truly amazing! Clearly knowledgeable and experienced, he is able to connect with his patients, provide them with all the information they would ever need and then some. He is well connected and informed with all of your health care providers and records, offering guidance and input with your total health in mind. VERY easy to talk to, great sense of appropriate humor and easy to understand. If all my health care providers were as good as Dr. Novak, I would probably be able to add 10 years to my life expectancy

Dr. Novak has a warm, friendly disposition. That makes me feel comfortable during my appointment and open with discussions of my health. He explains lab results so I can understand them. I would recommend him as a kidney doctor to anyone.
