Visit was very good. Since this was my first visit with Dr. Sparkman there is always some anxiety that goes along with it. The staff and Dr. Sparkman put me at ease quickly and were friendly and professional. I never felt rushed by the doctor and always felt like my questions were being answered. I am looking forward to Dr. Sparkman being my new PCP.

Dr Sparkman took time to discuss and explain medical issues--as a new patient, that was very important to me. Glad to know I've found a competent, responsive doctor.

A competent, affable practitioner. Gets right to the heart of the matter without making one feel that one is on the clock.

He was rude and he was not sympathetic at all. I would never see him again I have never had such an awfully experience.
April 13, 2015Desiree B.Verified patient
. Thank goodness the Dr. made room for me to see him today since ZocDoc never confirmed the appointment with the Dr.

Dr. and Nurse were great. Did not like the office staff.
I made out patient information on ZocDoc before going and still had to make out 20 pages of information when I got there. Took an additional 30 min. They should have told me I could do information forms online..

GREAT Going to send my husband to see him also.
November 7, 2013Annette T.Verified patient
Terrible, I have been in the healthcare industry for over 30 years and this was one of the worst. Office staff was not engaged, physician made me wait one hour past appointment time. He did not do any exam, only partial history and presenting illness and jumped to a diagnosis and prescribed antibiotic. Terrible, will never return.
December 23, 2013Richard H.Verified patient
They told me that they don't really use this website to make appointments and asked me to come back at 3pm after I had already gotten a 9:20 confirmation call for my appointment the day before. Obviously there was confusion between the receptionists it was ridiculous and they were rude

We have recently moved and were looking for a new family Dr. Both my husband and myself were pleasantly pleased with Dr Sparkman. He was not "put off" (as some Drs are) by our wanting to be seen together (we're 68 and four ears are now better than two). He did not rush us and answered all concerns we had.

The whole office visit was pleasant, informative and professional. I would recommend Dr. Sparkman to my friends and family.

He was very thorough. He checked my heart with an ekg, he gave me a lung test to check for asthma. He scheduled an mri to see what's going on in my brain. Hes an awesome doctor. I highly reccomend him.
