      Dr. Novak is an absolute treasure! He always explains things directly to my daughter and I appreciate him talking to her and not about her. He always gives her time to ask any questions so she's not rushed. We are so grateful for his compassion, skill, and ongoing exceptional care. A true 10/10.
