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.

To the person who said she’s one of the best doctors she’s ever had, all I can say is I am truly sorry but I have not found a competent doctor since leaving Seattle and Dr. Sparkes is on of the worst. Doesn’t order tests because she doesn’t want to even though they are required, doesn’t listen, acts like she hasn’t the time. Sorry but you work for me and this is my health! No thanks! I’m going the concierge route and get some real care.

This provider cares little about her patients. Almost impossible to get a response in a timely manner -either by phone message or the NW portal. I had to wait 17 days to get a prescription refilled because she did not respond to the pharmacy (or my calls). Typical response is to go to urgent care. In all fairness, they have doubled the patient load on this doctor and the office cannot keep staff.
