Dr. Novick came highly recommended by my daughters' PCP. When we tried to get an appointment with her at Penn State Hershey Medical Center(where she had worked for well over a decade), we found that she had left. We were devastated! But my Gen Z twin daughters did what Gen Z is known for. They tracked her down on the internet! We found that she now has a private practice. Better yet, its a virtual office-which makes it SO easy to get an appointment. First appointment, Dr. Novick walked us through the process and told us exactly how we would proceed. I found her to be very professional and her directions were easy to follow. In the end, my girls are finally under her care for heathier eating and increasing activity level, among other things- Very knowledgeable and super nice. I'm so happy we were able to find her new private practice.
