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.

Great Dr.great surgeon
I saw Dr Sparks for several years with osteoarthritis. Finally needed knee replacement. He educated me and made me comfortable with the decision. Surgery was amazing . Could not be happier. I Will have other knee replaced soon

Excellent Doctor! Very informative, knowledgeable & caring. He did a complete shoulder replacement on my husband and also did a Jiffy Knee Replacement for my husband. Both surgeries were a complete success! Highly recommend Dr. Sparks. His staff is wonderful as well.

Extremely happy with the results!
It’s been just over a year since I’ve had both knee joints replaced by Dr Sparksand happy to report that the results vastly exceed the expectations I’ve had going into the procedures.Yesterday I’ve spend the day downhill skiing at Lost Trail MT, a pleasure that my old joints didn’t allow me to do for the last 6 years. Pain free and renewed mobility stir excitement in this 60 year old body! A big Thank You to you and your team!

Listened and provided solutions
I saw Dr. Sparks for a knee issue, he was able to listen to my complaint and provided a solution. He explained that if that didn’t work to come back and we would discuss surgical options. I ended up back in his office and was able to get surgery scheduled. Explained the procedure thoroughly, answered questions, called my spouse after surgery, and ensured all my appointments were scheduled at the office closest to my house.

I have had two new surgeries over the past six months. Dr. Sparks has simply been one of the best physicians I have ever had the pleasure of working with. His patient care has been excellent. He has one of the most caring positions I have ever met. I would recommend him to anyone that needs surgery and his empathy and concern for patients sets the standards for physicians. A five star rating should really be a 10 star rating. He is the best.

Went to him for unexplainable shoulder pain of 2 years, had an mri, never once did he follow up. Just pushed a shot which helped for a week. Ended up seeing someone who cared at another practice (best decision ever) and resolved my shoulder pain. Do not recommend him even though I had friends who said he was great. He clearly didn't care about me as a patient, only $$$ signs.

Not really good experience at all with medical assistant and doctor. First:Medical assistant was really rude. Second: Dr. Was not really nice either, not introducing him self and welcoming new patients, also was a student shadowing and they even introduce him. or ask if it was okay with me for him to be shadowing, you can feel tension and not really good environment and customer service, the only part I did like was the front desk girls, they tried as much as they can to help patients, (the start is for the girls)but unfortunately the doctors are not that good, I don’t know if it is racism because I am not white, that its been my first time in my hole life I feel that way (racism), definitely won’t recommend any body go to this facility, I do work at the medical field too, and you never talk to pt that way.

I very nearly walked out mid appointment I was so frustrated with this physician. He did not seem to be very interested in answering my questions. Didn't have any real answers. Mumbled terribly. Waste of time and money.
