All I can say is that it isn't often that you find an extremely bright, knowledgeable and caring surgeon, and one who has an excellent bed side manner as well. My experience with Dr. Sparano was totally satisfying. He removed a small growth on my throat and made quite a frightful experience almost pain free. He was thorough in his explanation of what he was going to do and then the follow-up afterward was equally impressive. I have and will continue to recommend Dr. Sparano to all of my family and friends...I hope I never have to experience any further surgeries, but if need be, I will be sure to have Dr. Sparano as my surgeon. He is second to none!!!
