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.

Dr. Sparks is amazing!
Dr. Sparks is amazing! Due to genetic gum recession, I’ve had to have multiple gum surgeries. He is by far the best periodontist with the best process and best long-term outcomes. And a decent price considering the specialized procedure. His staff is also great! Jen is friendly, and Kim is so helpful!

Dr. Sparks did a sinus lift and implant. The procedure was 100 % successful even though after reviewing the initial X-rays he suggested we had a 50/50 chance. He is fantastic.

I have been a patient of Dr. Sparks for many years and I have been extremely happy with the dental care I have received. He is always very patient and kind and listens/responds to any issues I have. The dental hygienist is wonderful as well. She is very gentle and makes me feel completely comfortable while cleaning my teeth. I highly recommend Dr. Sparks to anyone looking for a great periodontist.

Dr. Sparks and his staff are exceptional is their professionalism. I have been under their care for decades. I state unequivocally that just one visit is all it takes to keep you rescheduling. There is truly a family and friends atmosphere among everyone associated with the office.

Dr Sparks, and his staff are without a doubt, the most competent Team. Always, have me in on time... Kalin is the best when it comes to perio cleanings.. Dr Sparks has done several different procedures on me, I have always had the utmost confident in him. I don.t always do my part on dental hygiene, and I have never been judged, by him or his staff. He is alway,s Positive And A Pleasure to see, and visit with... I would Highly recommend to any one That this is the finest Dental Team in Town, And Dr Sparks Is The Reason...

Dr. Sparks and his staff do an excellent job! I had an implant and periodontal work done. Kalin had advised me to get a Sonic toothbrush and a Waterpick water floss machine and my deep pockets have gotten much better. I thank God for their excellent care!

Dr. Sparks took immediate interest and care after suffering tooth pain ignored by my primary dentist. He explained what was wrong and guided me through the procedure of an implant. His gentle, kind manner backed by his knowledge put me at ease and trust. I highly recommend this good doctor.

I recently had gum graft surgery, which I put off for many years. If I would have known, then, what I now know, today, I wouldn't have hesitated to have the surgery done years ago. Dr. Sparks is amazing! The results from the surgery are significant, better than I ever imagined. Dr. Sparks and his entire staff are focused on providing both; friendly and impeccable service. If I need treatment in the future I will return to Dr. Sparks office without doubt. Thank you Dr. Sparks & Team!

I met with Dr. Sparks for a pre-exam. I had a complaint about his office procedures, which I mentioned to his staff. I asked him to call me, but he refused. Rather, he had his office staff call me to tell me to find another periodontist. Can you imagine if I had called to complain about his procedure?

Dr. Sparks did good work. His staff is terrible. His billing person charged me almost $800 too much then fought with me to give me a refund. When I asked for bills with dental insurance billing codes on them so I could submit them to my health insurance, which covers dental surgery, his office refused, which stopped me from getting some of his overcharge reimbursed. They are all about the money, honey. They harassed me by phone for three days when they learned that I went to another dentist

Dr. Sparks was recommended by my dentist. Despite the fact I had very bad experience with previous dentist in NE Albuquerque, Dr. Sparks showed me trust and knowledge at the first appointment. I felt very comfortable to have him done a few surgeries (implants). I had no complications in post surgeries period. Doctor contacted me after surgeries and I felt he cares about patient. Usually easy to schedule an appointment, nice and clean office. I want to thank all staff for taking care of me.

Dr. Sparks did four implants for me over a period of a year and a half. The experience was a huge success. It has been a year now and I am so very glad that I went to Dr. Sparks for the procedures. Dr. Sparks is extremely talented in what he does and his "bedside manner" is exceptional. I have never been happier about going to a dentist and my mouth/teeth are the best they have ever been. Many thanks to Dr. Sparks and his marvelous staff; they couldn't have been more friendly, caring and pr
