Meet Our Providers
Katie Novak and Calli Berman met each other while working at an addiction medicine office. Early on, both realized they worked well together as they developed a friendship in addition to being coworkers. At times they’ve jokingly been referred to as the “dynamic duo”, partially inspiring the name of Dynamic Healthcare. Katie and Calli share a passion for quality patient care, and each balances the other’s strengths and weaknesses by working as a team.
Katherine (Katie) Novak, PA-C
Katie was in the University of Detroit Mercy’s
Accelerated 5-Year Physician Assistant Program where she graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Biology in 2015 and a Masters in Physician Assistant Studies in 2017. Her hobbies include reading, sewing, and going to Lions games with her family. She also enjoys spending time with her fiancé, family, and friends, and has a passion for dogs. Katie developed an interest in addiction medicine when she was in her first year of PA school and went to an inpatient rehab facility for an assignment and thought “I can see myself doing this when I graduate.” She then did a rotation the next year in an addiction medicine office and knew it was what she wanted to do.

Meet Our Staff
Kourtny - Office Manager
As office manager, I bring over 10 years of experience in the substance use field and a genuine passion for helping others navigate life's challenges. My approach is shaped by both professional experience and personal insight into mental health and substance use, allowing me to lead with empathy, understanding, and respect. I have had the privilege of working alongside Katie and Calli for much of my career, building a collaborative, high-functioning team environment focused on delivering consistent, quality support. I'm known for going "above and beyond" to keep things running smoothly while making sure both our team and the individuals we serve feel supported. And like any effective office manager, I'm usually already working on the solution before the problem fully hits my desk.
