Felt it was a wasted appointment. No tests or exam to see if I had a bacterial virus.

Dr Novak looked a bit tired when she entered the room. It was a 9:00 AM appointment, so her day was just starting. The visit started very routine/fine but it soon degraded. Dr Novak became very abrupt and disrespectful toward me. As I sank deeper into my chair and became very quiet, I think she realized that her tone was unnecessary and unjustified, so we abruptly ended the visit. Needless to say, I left feeling worse than when I arrived. There are two firsts for me with this visit.....1) I have never been treated as poorly as I was by any other medical provider. 2) I have never been seen for a diagnostic appointment and NOT been examined. The doctor never came within 5 feet of me. She chose to sit at her computer and type. I invited her o listen to my symptoms with her stethoscope but she ignored that suggestion. I was truly bewildered by the events in this visit. I left shaking my head, wondering if she was just having a bad day or if this is the normal mode of treating people at this office. This is why I would not recommend this doctor to anyone.

She listens to what the patient has to say

She's always nice.

Dr. Novak is over-scheduled, and difficult to see on an Emergency Basis. I will not recommend anyone to her, because I don't wish to wait LONGER to see her when I need to see her. Dr. Jodi Novak is a VERY GOOD Listener and Doctor for my needs.

Very proactive
-
Professional and personal.
-
Easy to talk to and to the point.
-
Although she spoke with me about my current condition I was surprised she did not even touch me. No stethoscope listen to heart, lungs.
-
Couldnt get my medications, sent the medication to the wrong pharmacy and had to contact to change, bad attitude and unkind.

She was friendly and professional and listened to my concerns. I didn’t feel rushed.

She’s understanding and smart. She seems tired though. I think you are wearing her out.

She is good, caring doctor. I don't have a problem with her, but I think Optum's rules have her rushed during appointments.
