Dr. Thomas Novak says he has carried many titles during his career, but the one that matters most to his patients is that he is a parent. He has observed that pediatric urology includes a wide spectrum in terms of problem severity and the management required to treat it. Regardless of the complexity, however, he says having a child with any medical need is a source of parental concern; addressing that concern is often equally as important as managing the child's medical condition. Dr. Novak loves what he does every day and feels humbled by the trust parents have in allowing him to take care of what they cherish more than anything in the world -- their child.
Dr. Novak's areas of expertise include hypospadias, undescended testes, vesicoureteral reflux, hydronephrosis, UPJ obstruction, congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract, neurogenic bladder, urinary tract reconstruction and circumcision.
Dr. Novak is married to Susan Novak, MD, an esteemed San Antonio obstetrician-gynecologist. The couple has two children.

Very thankful for Dr.Novak’s skill, knowledge, and thoughtful care for our baby and our family through hypospadias repair. Dr.Novak has been very thorough and patient during each of our visits. We never feel rushed in appointments and our questions are always answered.
Dr. Novak is beyond an exceptional pediatric urologist. Both him and his team are always professional, knowledgeable, and very attentive to my child’s needs. From the moment we walked in, they treated my child with kindness, patience, and compassion. They took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I felt comfortable and informed throughout each visit, before surgery. It’s not easy trusting someone with your child’s health, but Dr. Novak and his team made the entire process reassuring. I am very grateful for the excellent care my child received.
