Specialities:
PediatricsI 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 and his staff are amazing! Everyone is kind to us, and very welcoming to our kids. Dr. Novak takes his time during the appointment and we never feel rushed. They understand they needs of our family and we feel respected and well taken care of each time we are there. Our kids feel comfortable during their visits!”

“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.”

“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. Christopher Novak is a wonderful physician and I hope St. Luke's employees, more physicians and pediatricians like him!He explained certain things and even gives you an education on any concerns that you may have. Is truly an amazing pediatrician! I remember when I first met him I was so nervous being a first time mom. I left. There was a newfound confidence on being the best mom for my son at the time and that continued inspiration still stands today. I trust Dr. Novak with my children's lives and to me that's very important and the most massive compliment I can give another person”
