I had the worse customer service from rebeca. i have a 9am appointment for december 16, 2020. when i called to change for a later time. rebeca was extremely unprofessional and stated she could not do anything for me. when i asked to speak to a manager she hands me off to her co worker stating ."they are all equal and have no clinic manager".
i was put on hold and then i was transfer to stephanie the other co worker. when i speak to stephanie she also has the same rude and unprofessional attitude as her peer.
all i need is my sons wire from his braces to be placed back and they need

My experience at a glance:
1. He did the job, my teeth are straight now
2. Nice guy
3. Bit of a run down, outdated office
4. Many minor issues throughout my visits like wires poking out too far, cement left on my teeth after braces removed, permanent retainer was rough like fine sand paper, that sort of thing.
5. Affordable

I'm a 35 year old woman who is getting braces ( sexy right) well it's been a difficult journey to get to this point. Let me share a little bit...
I been to over a dozen different orthodontist in hopes to find one who specializes with cross/ narrow bites in adults ( surgery cases)
I experience a lot of headaches caused by my minor TMJ & my bite being off. My PCP Referred me to a oral and maxiofacial surgeon who deal with these case. (But my concern was what Ortho can help me, I seen them ALL) well I was referred to Dr Sparks who has experience with these types of cases (finally)

We did not have a good experience here.
1. My child who has never had any cavities before or after orthodontic work at Dr. Sparks, ended up with a root canal during her orthodontic care.
2. As part of the contract, the patient is expected to take their share of appointments during school hours.
3. After the braces came off during the time when my child was in the retainer phase, her retainer broke right before she had to leave out of state to go back to college. Went in to see Dr. Sparks and was told since his technician (the person who fixes the retainers) was not in, she would have to go

Dr sparks is a great guy. However, I didn't t feel like he gave me the best attention. There were a couple issues I had with my tooth and when I went to a different orthodontist she Immediately figures out a solution.. also he's a nice guy but would be very "hello" all good?" "Bye" sort of just like a number here. Also the place in ling beach is very run down and dirty. Just private message me and I'll give you her details.
Sorry dr sparks. I wish you cared more.

Dr. Sparks and his team are fantastic! Seventeen years ago they skillfully took care of my daughter's smile; so when I decided to get braces, I wouldn't trust my smile to anyone other than them. The team is so good at making both children and adults feel welcome and comfortable which is important to me as an adult with braces. Their office hours are convenient for a working person's schedule, and they offer a variety of treatment programs and payment options. The clean, pleasant office is staffed with friendly, professional team members who get excellent results. I highly recommend

Dr. Sparks is the best! He takes his time to get to know your needs, listens to concerns and converted me from a scaredy-cat to an adult-braces champ! I was quoted a lot of crazy outrageous prices by other orthodontists, upwards of $30,000 and the need to get implants before beginning ortho work -- and that was by my HMO dentist! Dr. Sparks was able to offer a significantly more reasonable cost that I could afford to pay without taking out a loan, and no implants! The results are truly amazing. He is definitely the best choice I could have made. His staff are also great! They are respectful, gentle

Dr. Sparks is a nice man but you can NEVER get an appointment, which ends up postponing your treatment and dragging it out excessively!!!! They say you can get in there if its an emergency but that's not true. My mom is still going there and she started before me if you can imagine that. Her new braces, after the first round, are popping off and cutting up her mouth. She's been cutting her wires off herself so that they don't continue to tear up her mouth. Apparently because she needs more time to redo them she'll have to wait until August. If she didn't already pay

I've been coming to Dr. Sparks's office for over 20 years. That's right, even before he was there, and it was Dr. Synder's office. Dr. Sparks is as good as it gets, and that being said, you get the best service with an interpersonal touch. From getting braces twice, to retainers twice, and now servicing my lower permanent retainer for over 8+ years, I really believe in the guy. I've seen him grow from the beginning, and only get better and better. He is courteous, professional, and is busy because of such great service.

Making the first appointment was easy; however, when I went in for the consultation I was bothered by how unfriendly the lady who gives you the braces quote was. No smile or anything, she seemed bothered.
When the Dr. entered the room he didn't introduce himself. He just hurried into the room directly to my daughters mouth and then asked me if I was going to do something about it. The next day I called back and the lady was rude again over the phone when I asked more about the quote. Instead of making sure I understood she sternly repeated her answer.
