I waited over an hour, his staff is incompetent, the bath room is gross, the chair seating is heavily stained, the place is chaotic, and he was not okay with me returning to the Birth Cottage for services after seeing him for a few visits due to my history of high risk pregnancies.

Yes you will wait but it is so worth it! Dr. Nova delivered all four my children. He saved my twins at 24 weeks by recognizing my contractions were real. He put me on medication and performed a cerclage to keep them safe. Needless to say I went full term and delivered two healthy baby boys. I fully believe because of his and his alone close attention to me and my pregnancy he was able to care for us properly. Thank you Dr. Nova and staff!

Dr. Nova is more concerned with ensuring he isn't held liable for retrograde decisions than he is for his patient's quality of life. He doesn't care about you as an individual--he cares about making sure he won't be sued at a later date for you changing your mind concerning a major surgery that will prevent you from throwing up everyday, feeling dizzy, and being in severe pain. He is completely unprofessional and avoided talking to me over the phone or seeing me in person for 2.5 weeks--mind you, 17 days of constant pain and rarely being able to leave my house--because he allowed his religious beliefs to make an impact on my life and my choices. Dr. Nova does not view patients as being autonomous and does not care about what is best for YOU.
I was diagnosed with Endometriosis and have multiple cysts that are growing and rupturing with the largest at approximately 6 cm now. Sounding incredibly educated, Dr. Nova stated that "these things just happen sometimes" when I asked why I had a cyst this size in the first place and, after scheduling and then cancelling my surgery to remove the large cyst and my uterus, he stated that my cyst and the pain it was causing was "not really that much of a problem" and he "feels uncomfortable performing that kind of a procedure on someone without children".
My lifestyle choice/health/happiness is more important than the unlikely potential I would ever have or keep a child (especially considering Endometriosis lowers fertility rate??). Get your shit together, Nova.

Spent an hour waiting for him. I understand his time is valuable, that's why I showed up to my appointment early. Clearly he doesn't value mine.

I'm going to him for my second pregnancy due to a coworker telling me about this doctor. Dr. Nova and his staff is awesome.. The wait times are hectic which can be a bothersome if you're in a hurry. But other than that I love it...

Dr Nova was my daughter's doctor for her first pregnancy. Yes, there was frequently a wait at the office but he was always there for her throughout a rather challenging pregnancy. His bedside manner is really impressive. He is very personally involved with his patients and cares a great deal. I do feel that for his sake he needs a partner or a Nurse Practitioner in his office to offset the wait time and to assist him. He has many patients and he does everything alone. I do not know when he sleeps ! He is very experienced and has an old school way about him. I would recommend him if you want a doctor who cares and is very experienced.

Dr. Nova accepted me as a patient after I left the office of Hall and Morales. Hall accused me of being anorexic when I began my pregnancy at a healthy weight and gained a total of 31 pounds during the pregnancy. Dr. Nova was very respectful and very kind. I completely recommend him. Please be prepared to wait as his practice is very busy.
