“Dr.Novak was great, down to earth, has a good bedside manner, knowledgeable, funny and very helpful. This was the 1st time I saw a podiatrist and he took X-rays without me asking and explained my foot issues and reviewed all non-surgery options. I highly recommend him.”

“Upon walking in, the front staff was very amicable and helped me with whatever questions I had. This was my first time going to a podiatrist so I was a bit nervous about my procedure for an ingrown toenail. However, Dr. Novak explained everything in detail and was very kind in doing so! He talked to me throughout the procedure and made sure I didn’t feel pain. Would highly recommend coming here!”

About Dr. Jeffrey Novak
Dr. Jeffrey Novak is a dedicated and compassionate podiatrist with a deep passion for conservative foot and ankle care. He completed part of his clinical training at the world-renowned Cleveland Clinic before going on to a rigorous surgical residency at Yale New Haven Health, one of the nation’s most respected academic medical centers for foot and ankle specialty training. These formative experiences shaped his strong belief in addressing the root causes of pain and dysfunction through non-invasive treatments whenever possible, helping patients avoid surgery and achieve long-term relief.
Further strengthening his academic foundation, Dr. Novak holds a certificate from the Harvard Macy Institute for Future Academic Clinicians, reflecting his commitment to lifelong learning and evidence-based medicine. His elite educational background enables him to deliver personalized, high-quality treatment plans that emphasize functional outcomes and long-term well-being.
Dr. Novak’s approach includes custom foot orthotics, physical therapy referrals, footwear education, and regenerative medicine techniques such as EPAT (extracorporeal shockwave therapy) to stimulate natural healing. He is also a leader in fungal toenail treatment, offering advanced combination therapy protocols that may include topical or oral antifungals along with the clinic’s FDA-approved laser technology.
Although fully trained in reconstructive foot and ankle surgery, Dr. Novak rarely recommends surgical intervention. Instead, he partners closely with each patient to develop conservative, individualized care plans that align with their unique needs, goals, and lifestyles.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr Novak. After seeing multiple orthopedic specialists in the city with no real answers or improvement, I finally found someone who truly listened and got to the root of the problem. The care was thorough, thoughtful, and never rushed. The treatment plan actually worked—and the issue that others couldn’t resolve is now fully addressed. Professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. If you’re feeling stuck or unheard elsewhere, this is the doctor you want on your team.
