I wish I could give 0 stars for this doctor. Writing review on behalf of my roommate who had meniscus repair surgery on her knee. The surgery was supposed to be a small clip of the meniscus and he did not prepare her for the possibility of it being a larger repair, which is what it turned out to be. He assured her it would be easy and it would not be repaired. After waking up in a full leg brace by herself in a hospital room, no one would answer her questions and Dr. Novak did not come to talk to her about post op instructio... read more

He was amazing. Check the time took the time to educate me. Then recommended the best plan of attack. my kind of doctor !
We were unhappy with the results for my husband's knee surgery. The first surgery was done badly. The second one was also done badly. We had to go to another doctor to get him back to 80% function which is as good as they can do now. I wouldn't recommend him to anyone. Surgeon that we got to fix him as well as possible said that the first two knee surgeries were badly done. These surgeries of altered the course of my husband's life forever. Mobility is compromised.
I realize that by accident one or two patients here, or there are going to have successful outcomes after knee replacements by almost any orthopedic surgeon, who has gone to school for such a procedure. However, the reviewers who have commented negatively on Dr. Novak are telling it like it is. He is incredibly pompous, and seems to care little for his patients. His goal seems to be to "get em on the table, get em off the table, get paid, and get em out"! I eventually had to have my knee redone a second time, and was told by... read more
I had my knee replaced by him and it was the worst experience I have ever had. He was rude and had no bedside manner. After ten months I went to another Dr. and after looking at the X-rays he told me the implant was not in correctly, the knee-cap was in the wrong place and the miniscus was not correct. Could he have messed up more? I would never recommend him to anyone. I will probably have to have more surgery to fix all of his mistakes.

It's been three weeks and one day since my total hip replacement. Dr. Novak is a great surgeon. This is my second hip replacement and again it went well. Yes a bit more pain this time around but that's not his fault. Today I was able to put on my socks and cowboy boots without any pain or discomfort. Just three weeks after a major total hip replacement surgery. This guy is one fantastic Doctor. Don't let the whiners influence you with a bad review. I've been there and had the full deal twice. They simply don't come any bette... read more

Thank you for the positive feedback! We love seeing great ratings like this.
I do not recommend Dr. Novak. As far as empathy and consideration for me (the patient) I was left feeling shocked and confused by how I was treated by him and things he said. I wish I had recorded the conversation because he didn’t put word for word what he had said about my injury in my appointment, in his doctors notes. If you’re seeking a doctor to ignore the pain you’re experiencing and having a difficult time 100% pinpointing and have some sort of irregularity show up in an MRI that the doctor brushes off as no big deal... read more
I just had a total right knee replacement. And I couldn’t be satisfied with the outcome. I have had other surgery’s over the past 20 years with Dr Novak and I wouldn’t trust anyone more.
I have been seeing Dr. Novak for a little over 20 years now. I can't imagine going to anyone else. He really listens to his patients, and takes the time to explain everything. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
