Pediatrics is the branch of medicine that involves the medical care of infants, children, and adolescents. Pediatricians provide medical care to people ranging in age from newborns to young adults. They are trained to examine, diagnose, and treat children with a wide variety of injuries and illnesses through all of their developmental stages, as they grow and mature.

Happily married, Dr. Novy is the proud mom of two sons. Outside of practicing medicine, she enjoys spending time with her family and dogs. Her hobbies include embroidery and quilting.
