Excellent Doctor ~ asked pertinent probing questions and listened intently. Encouraged me to expound on my sleep habits from small childhood through present day as well as my restless legs symptoms and how this affects my every day life without once making me feel diminished or that I was wasting his time. He was interested and caring and did not make me feel rushed which in and of itself is the test of a true healer. And finally Dr. Novak gave me confidence that he would indeed help me. Outstanding experience and highly recommend Dr. Novak.
