-
Don't believe I've ever been asked to recommend a primary care doctor.
-
Dr. Novak is a very nice person but is a bit low energy’ for my taste
-
She is extremely knowledgeable. She throughly answers questions. She is easy to connect with and shows she cares about your health.
-
Dr Novak is very thorough and listened well to my concerns and recommended good information
-
Friendly and addressed needs but very short
-
She’s not the most proactive physician in reviewing medical issues. For example I requested a couple of blood tests on a proactive basis (fasting insulin and hsCRP) and she said they wouldn’t be beneficial and therefore didn’t order them. Last year I had to ask her for a apo(a) blood test and a calcium score scan which revealed CVD - had I not asked for them I wouldn’t have known. She stays strictly within the guidelines of treating disease/illness vs being proactive.
-
Jodi is open and communicates well.
-
She is an excellent listener and a caring and thorough physician.
-
The problem I have is: I have been with this group for 11 12 years. I have never had an exam done. I should have the following: besides listening to the heart and lungs the carotid and bowel sounds need to be heard. My ears and throat should be checked. My tummy should be pressed on when lying down. Checks should be made on legs and ankles plus pulses in legs and feet. Swelling in legs and ankles should be done. If I have any other concerns they should be taken care of. This is one reason why I list care at 5. I really like Dr Novak but I believe any doctor I see should do more exams.
-
I've explained it already. I don't know if it's policies/metrics that changed her or something else, but read the first paragraph I wrote.
-
Consistent and straight forward about my care.
-
Her understanding of my situation.
-
It was only my first visit with Dr. Novak. She was friendly and courteous and covered my health as one would expect on an initial visit. ll signs were positive.
-
Very nice person, very compassionate
-
Very competent and professional
-
Dr. Novak and her team are consistently compassionate.

Dr Novak is very kind and knowledgeable and always takes the time needed to communicate thoroughly and answer any questions i have
-
Renewal of prescriptions seems really slow. Patient waiting for several days for response.
-
She listens and explains.
-
She is a fabulous doctor - knowledgeable, compassionate and very professional. My husband and I love her and have complete confidence in her
