Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Tired of it all
I love my PCP, but am going to change doctors offices all together. The front staff is rude and incompetent. Sends orders to wrong place, messes up referrals or never sends them. Ot really messes up other people's schedules. No help at all in trying to get insurance to approve a test. My insurance costs too much for me to have to do their job for them. I've worked in medical offices so I know what I'm talking about. If I were their manager, I'd fire them all.

Truly unemphatic
Sparks Clinic Review Initial visit was to have blood work done and was also having problems with chronic fatigue and depression. Bringing along with me was severe pain from a severed spinal cord due to severe spinal stenosis. I also had diabetes controlled by oral medication and high blood pressure controlled by one medication. After all the blood tests were said and done Dr Sparks Read that my cholesterol was high, my testosterone was low and also a large lithium deficiency. My prescriptions we're 1 nerve pain medication, 1 1 blood pressure med 1 diabetes med. The doctor added testosterone lithium and also a cholesterol reduction medication. Everything seemed great My next visits were all about depression, pain and chronic fatigue. The only change was a depression medication Dr Sparks said he had very good luck with. Getting him to address the pain or chronic fatigue seemed virtually impossible My depression became worse and worse and I returned a couple of times ex

Do not go here! All departments are incompetent. Very rude and mean people. Misdiagnosed every time went there. And then they try to make it look like your fault and argue with you.

Dr. Sparks is awesome, he is a straight shooter and tells it like it is. I love his wit and straight on about the problems you face and what the cause and solutions are. No beating around the bush or sugar-coating things. He also has helped train other doctors and is used in court cases as a medical expert, he just is the best I have encountered in over 40 years. I've used him for decades and I sincerely recommend him!

I do not recomend this clinic or Doctor. Actually he didn't explain or give me anything on th 40 listed adverse reactions of the antidrepesant prescriped. A generic Effeoxor whick I told him I had dad a bad experience with in the past. They re-nigged on refilling and had to weene myself off after 2 months and had 20 of the 40 most horrible side effects landing me in bed 20 hours a day for last 2 weeks. They just want the money. Good honest informative health care not going to happen here.
