Petr Novak M.D. 

I have read the messages from some of the patients treated by Dr. Novak at the Refractive Centre Prague with a great interest. Although I am not his patient, I would also like to use this opportunity and say a few words. Dr. Novák literally saved my daughter. It happened 11 years ago. When I returned home, I found a message from my wife: “I am at the hospital in Říčany.” So I immediately drove there and was told that a friend of my daughter, who was 14 at that time, severely injured her eye with a cone and that she was referred to Prague. I drove to Prague where I met my wife in tears saying that the doctors did not see any other possibility than to remove the crushed eye. This was the worst moment of my life. She was my only daughter (at that time) and I had to accept that she would be handicapped for the rest of her life. Dr. Novak came approximately one hour later, and told us he would work a night shift and would make an attempt to save my daughter’s eye. In short – he succeeded and our family will never be able to thank Dr. Novak enough. You know, chances come up every day. It was a once-in-a-life-time chance for me that I met Dr. Peter Novák at that time. Thank you!

We have been seeing the Head Physician, Dr. Novák for follow-up visits for many years. Our daughter, who dislikes medical check-ups, always looks forward to seeing Dr. Novák! He is “more than a doctor”. He is patient in explaining everything about the medical problem, he tells us in advance which procedures he is going to do, and has a great ability to calm down and comfort a patient. The patient will accept the diagnosis of glaucoma, which is a serious condition, with hope. Furthermore, he has a perfect, well-coordinated team of “his people" in the Refractive Centre. I am very grateful to all of them for excellent care and a pleasant atmosphere. I would like to thank you all for the help you provide to your patients.

I do not recall exactly how long I have known Dr. Novak but I guess it may be about 15 years now. He was so good to me for the whole duration of my treatment that I completely forgot that I had a medical problem. Eventually, all the members of our family were treated by him. The old proverb that says “the eye is a window to the soul” is true indeed.

I thank the team of Refractive Centre Prague for their excellent approach, dedication, and professional care! It is not only me who is a grateful patient of Dr. Novák. Thanks to his care, my grandmother can enjoy reading and watching TV again after those long years when she couldn’t, and she is happy to recognize her friends in the street. I never hoped that anyone would be able to persuade her to undergo an eye surgery but Dr. Novák was! We are very grateful to him! I also wish you many satisfied patients.
