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 is absolutely wonderful, as well as his office staff. I have no complaints regarding them. However, the new phone "POD" system makes accessing my child's physician more difficult than before. I had a wait time of 34 minutes so I could make an appointment for a sick visit with my child's pediatrician, when he had a fever of 103. Instead of caring for my child, I had to wait on hold for 34 minutes just to make an appointment. Also, having to wait on hold other times to speak with the POD, just to relay messages to the office is inefficient. This new system makes accessing health care more cumbersome and frustrating!”

“Dr Novak and his staff, including MA Annette, are the most wonderful healthcare providers I have come across. I would never consider another provider for my children. They are patient, professional, kind and loving. I am confident my children are in wonderful hands when they are under the care of Dr. Novak.”

“We love coming to Dr. Novak's office. He is an incredibly knowledgeable physician and is so patient and kind with my kids. My kids love nurse A. She is so wonderful with them but professional and accurate in doing her job at the same time. Checking in and out with at the front desk is always a joy. She makes my kids enjoy going to the doctor!”

“Dr Novak and his front desk staff were exceptionally kind and made us feel so comfortable as new parents to discuss any concern without feeling judged or shamed. I am blown away by the immediate care and attention Dr Novak has provided to address an urgent concern I had about my son's eye. He even called me the day after my ophthalmology appt at chop to check in and see how it went. We only met 3 days ago and I already feel so at ease with him and feel so comforted that he genuinely cares for my child's wellbeing as much as I do. He also shows care and compassion for my husband and I as new parents navigating the start of parenthood and the immediate challenges we face with unexpected medical diagnosis. I was originally planning on going to a closer st Luke's pediatrics office such as Quakertown or coopersburg, but we have decided to stick with Dr Novak and drive the extra distance because it is worth it. It Is rare to come across a doctor/pediatrician who has the bedside manner that Dr Novak provides. He truly makes me feel like we are getting individualized care and that he is very thoughtful in caring for my child and us as new parents.”
