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.

The best doctor on the planet. Ever.

Dr. Novak is an exceptionally talented surgeon. He did the sleeve surgery on me about three years ago and I would refer him as number one to my friends and family.

These days many doctors are in and out and make you feel like they don’t have time for questions. Not Novack, he listens, he explains well, he doesn’t judge and he cares. He’s an all around good dude. His style is where I would like to see healthcare go. Right now Novack is a rarity. It’s probably been 30 years where I experienced care like this when I was in elementary school.

PHaven’t had my surgery yet but in my dealings with Dr. Kovack, he has been gracious & kind. My surgery is on 12/3/18, the gastric sleeve. I am looking forward to a new ME! Don’t worry I know at times it will be difficult maybe very difficult. However, I know I will be very grateful for the changes in my mind & body. I am already grateful.

Dr. Novack Jr. & staff are professional and informative. I was very nervous and doubtful in determining if the gastric sleeve was for me. Once attending the seminar and meeting the doctor, I had felt a load lifted from my shoulders and my decision was made. I had the gastric sleeve surgery on June 3, 2016 at 225 pounds, today I have lost 70 pounds. Life changing, I am a happy person again. I finally feel like I felt in my 20's, the best decision I made.
