Dr. Sparks is the absolute best! I started taking my daughters to him for annual evalutions when they were 5. My eldest daughter finally had her braces put on when she was 11, they are now off; my second daughter had her braces put on last summer. I was never charged for any of the evaluation appts. Dr. Sparks' fees are comparable to all the other orthodontists in the Valley and he is willing to work out reasonable payment plans. He has an excellent relationship with his patients and his staff is awesome. I also have 5 nieces and a nephew who have been treated by Dr. Sparks. I can't say enough good things about him.
