💙 Meet Jerry Novak — A True Inspiration! 💙

After nearly 50 years of serving his country as a Marine and his community as a police officer and bailiff, Jerry wasn’t ready to slow down. Unfortunately, knee pain was making it harder to stay active and do the work he loves.

Thanks to Dr. Brad S. Cohen and the amazing team at Poway Surgery Center, Jerry had successful joint replacement surgery on both knees. Now he’s back on his feet and doing what he loves most!

We’re so proud to be part of Jerry’s journey and grateful for the care teams who help patients like him get back to living life to the fullest. 🙌

Way to go, Jerry! 💪

At AMSURG centers across the country, we honor this legacy every day by ensuring our facilities are welcoming, accessible and designed with every patient in mind. To us, Care Deeply means always putting people first.
