Teresa is very excited to join Access Family Medicine and work in a Direct Primary Care setting. After over 30 years as a family practice provider, she has a following of families she has cared for over 2 or 3 generations. Ms. Novak obtained her Bachelors degree in pre-med biology in 1986 at Doane College in Crete, Nebraska. She attended the University of Nebraska Medical Center and received her Physician Assistant degree in 1990. Teresa began her career providing family and hospital medicine in rural Nebraska from 1990 to 1993. Since then, she has worked as a family practice provider in Lincoln, Nebraska, including 14 years of caring for families at a satellite clinic in Ashland, NE. Regarding practice style, Teresa feels a provider should have realistic expectations of those they care for. Although wed all like to be the healthiest version of ourselves, there are real-life obligations and time constraints that sometimes stand in the way. I don't want to judge my patients, just as I wouldn't want to be judged. Its my job to help them however I can, even if its just little steps. Teresa also believes that its important to really listen. Many times, I can figure out a complicated problem just by paying attention to the little details my patient provides. She also likes to use a little humor whenever possible. No one should dread going to the doctors office! Ms. Novak is a member of the American Academy of Physician Associates and the Nebraska Academy of Physician Assistants. In her free time, she enjoys movies, spoiling her pets, and singing/performing with her husband, Ledo.
Doctor Todd Johnson was born in Omaha, Nebraska, but spent much of his childhood in Pennsylvania. He earned his undergraduate degree in biology and masters in exercise science at the University of Nebraska. He then crossed the border to Iowa, more specifically Des Moines University Osteopathic Medical Center, where he received his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine. Dr. Johnson then completed his residency training through Michigan State University in Traverse City, Michigan. His traveling days over, Dr. Johnson settled back down in Lincoln, Nebraska. He has been practicing for almost 20 years now and has truly made a name for himself. He is Board Certified Family Physician and holds dual accreditation from the American Osteopathic Board of Family Physicians and the American Board of Family Medicine. In 2014 I earned Fellow with the American Academy of Family Physicians. He is new to Strada Healthcare, but not to Direct Primary Care. Dr. Johnson has his own DPC clinic in Lincoln. He strives daily to provide exceptional, compassionate healthcare to his patients and believes DPC is the best way to do that. He and his wife Tiffany have three children. His ideal day off would include a morning run with his dog, a round of golf, an evening by a pool with a campfire cookout, and, to end this utopian day, an outdoor movie. He lives his life following two great pieces of advice he received: 1. Do what you love and do it well; and 2. If you have never failed, you haven't taken enough risks, which ultimately means you fail by default.
