I've been seeing Dr Sparago for at least 5 years. I can say without an ounce of reservation that he has Taken incredible care of me. He is one of the most compassionate and kind professionals I've ever known. He has an amazing ability to beautifully and intellectually make sense of a persons pain and suffering without making you feel dumb or worse the "Crazy identified patient" He is gifted beyond words when it comes to helping and guiding a person through there personal journey of recovery and transformation. If you understand going in that it is the job of both you and your DR to make your life function better his expertise will not be wasted. There is no better guide. He is a fantastic Doctor, and I'm so fortunate that I found him. If you need a DR? He is Amazing! I could go on.....

THE ONLY REASON A PATIENT WROTE MANY POOR REVIEWS IS THAT WHEN ONE IS TRULY PSYCHOTIC AND PARNOID. THE DR.IS TRULY VERY PLEASANT AND VERY PROFESSIONAL.

Think Judd Hirsch from Ordinary People without the cardigan and that is Dr. Sparago in dedication and manner. I was misdiagnosed and suffering for years until Dr. Sparago took the time to really listen and figure out my problem and it's treatment. I am now well for many years because I didn't give up, and because of my great good fortune of working with Dr. Sparago. He is superb. I have referred many others to him, and they all thank me profusely for the referral.

Dr Sparago has treated me and several of my friends, family members and colleagues over the years. He is extraordinary-as a clinician, a diagnostician and a caring human being who works tirelessly your presenting problems are under control. If you have ever a need for medication-run to Dr. Sparago-don't walk. He is the BEST

In a nutshell, Dr. Sparago saved my life. He worked tirelessly until I was properly diagnosed and stable on my medication. He always showed caring, compassion and generously imparted wisdom I carry with me throughout my life. I recommend him without reservation.
