About Me

I am a pediatrician in the Lehigh Valley with more than 30 years experience. I was previously an owner and primary care pediatrician at my own practice -- Children’s Choice Pediatrics, P.C. I and my practice, now known as St. Luke’s Children’s Choice Pediatrics, joined St. Luke’s University Health Network in 2020.

 I graduated from Hahnemann University Hospital School of Medicine and trained at Hahnemann University Hospital in Philadelphia. I am board certified with the American Board of Pediatrics.

I am married with three children. I enjoy spending free time with my family, hiking, biking and camping. I also read books about American history and exceptional leaders.

Dr. Novak was excellent with the care of my daughter. He called me to give the results of the exams he did on my daughter also told me how to care for her. I also had sent a message through mychart on a Sunday and my question was answered the next business day which was Monday. Their response was fast I was very happy about that. Thank you.

We love Dr. Novak and chose him as our pediatrician because we get to see him and not other care providers. He knows our family and cares about our kids.

I couldn't be happier about this provider! From the knowledge and care from Dr. Novak to the incredible love and compassion they give my son, I wouldn't change anything about them! I've even switched my oldest to their office as soon as they took his insurance, I didn't even hesitate! They treat us like family there and to find that in a good provider these days is sometimes hard. But they scoop my son up and just sit with him and talk to him and play with him, it's just so nice to see just how much they love their patients! Thank you for all you do for us!

Dr. Novak listened to my concern about Matthew's cough. He spoke with Matthew about his symptoms and then about other topics to continue to build upon his rapport with Matthew. As always, we were very pleased with our visit with Dr. Novak.

Dr. Novak is the best and more we could have hoped for as our daughter's pediatrician. Dr. Novak takes the time to hear all our concerns and tells us his experiences and it helps us tremendously as first-time parent. (Name) who works in the office is very helpful as well and is great w/our daughter. We recommend Dr. Novak and his staff to everyone we know with young children looking for an excellent pediatrician.

Everyone was very helpful.

Dr. Novak, Annette, Barb, Cindy, and all of the other nurses and office staff are amazing. From setting up the appointment, to the time we leave the office, we are treated with such care and respect. This visit was to remove stitches and the stitches were too tight to remove, so we had to go to the ER. Dr. Novak and his team tried so hard and were very apologetic that they couldn't remove them. Given the situation I couldn't have asked them to perform better than they did. We are very lucky to have a pediatric team that we love and trust so much.

Dr Novak and his staff are top-notch. I have never considered an alternate provider because the of the care, attention and expertise that they provide. My family and I appreciate Children's Choice Pediatrics so much.
