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!”

“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!”
