Dr Nowak made time for me to come in because something happened to my appointment wasn't there and it wasn't until July. And I needed to be seen now she saw me during her lunch hour which was more than she should've had to do but I appreciated it anyways. I have found her for 20 years and I will continue to the day she leaves.

I just want to say Dr. Klick-Novak is the best doctor I've ever had in any department. I love her. She's awesome. She takes all the time and out of her own time when she was there. I was the last patient. She stayed to make sure I understood everything because I was kind of in a panic and she saw that and she took care of me like a real doctor and she has so much knowledge about my illnesses and is very able to think about all the various factors in a way that I haven't found other doctors to do. She's kind, brilliant, great bedside manner and describes everything I need to do in detail, writes it down for me, and is patient with me and my PCA at the visits and just wonderful. I can't recommend her higher than I just wish we could clone her because she's so wonderful and I know she's only human, but she's awesome. She's wonderful and she's great.

I was very unhappy with the doctor during the visit. I felt she was looking at things that were impertinent to me. For instance, talking to me about allergies and flonase and stuff that has nothing to do with rheumatoid arthritis. She really did not explain the lab and did not remember why I was getting certain tests in which the outcome was important to me and I had been worrying about it.
- Reviewed on 1/18/2026
She talked too much: •Gave personal comments about herself and her children; how many, how smart, college degrees... •Kept delving into my past history to nearly an absurd degree; asking things that have absolutely nothing to do with arthritis, medicine... She did not acknowledge or simply record my symptoms as fact but continually compared them to herself saying "I don't have that" or asked more and more questions about it until I could no longer provide an answer which made it seem unlikely or doubted.

This is the second visit where it's been clear that she has not read my chart. A few visits back, she looked at me and said, oh, have we met? And we had met at least four times. This time, I left the previous visit talking about DexScan and Estradol. And she had already spoken to an OB-GYN about my case. And then this time, she didn't mention any of that. Acted like she didn't know anything about it when I asked for a second DexScan. Anyway, it just seems like she doesn't read the file at all before she walks in the office.

It wasn't an easy visit because the reality of my situation is difficult but she helped me to understand it and to understand my options in a realistic manner and she's very down-to-earth and also when she saw that I was a bit upset she was so kind.
