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.

6/7/2010. I had an urgent procedure done by Dr Novak and his team. From initial consultation to follow up was given the most excellent care. Thank you

I was on vacation when I had to attend Cape Cod Hospital ER for an ongoing hernia problem. At 12:30 on a Sunday night I was seen immediately and by 3:30 I was in the OR being treated by an execellent surgical team. Nothing but great things to say about Dr. Novak, and his Resident Josh, about the care I received at Cape Cod Hospital. Very personable, intelligent, and a trustworthy physician/surgeon that I would recommend to anyone. Josh was also very compassionate and easy to communicate with

I didn't choose him as my surgeon. He was on-call to the ER, had me admitted and scheduled the surgery. I later discovered he is considered one of the best surgeons on the Cape. My experience (2 operations) agrees! While a bit egotistical - probably an excellent characteristic in a surgeon, he is witty, warm and caring. I knew precisely the diagnosis, the surgical procedure he would perform and all the prognoses and recovery. (I watched some on YouTube). In a word: BEST.
