    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.

    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.

    Although she spoke with me about my current condition I was surprised she did not even touch me. No stethoscope listen to heart, lungs.

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