I first met Dr. Soparker back in Jan/ 2000. I had a MVA with severe multiple facial fractures. My steering wheel went through my face, both eyes, my nose, both cheeks. Dr. soparker was able to save my eye sight in both eyes and reconstruct my facial features. I continue to see Dr Soparker with any facial issues. I have found him to be ever so knowledgeable, nice, undestanding, caring, compassionate, and very SKILLED. I will travel the 130 miles one way to see him. I will continue to see him for any issues or needs that I may have. I highly recommend his services and his advice. I trust him with my life. With the serious facial injuries I had, I have secondary health issues, over the past 11 yrs since my MVA, I have seen over 100 doctors in their specialty. Dr. Soparker rates Top of my list, so many doctors either suffer from burn out, or I am not sure what other doctors issues are but Dr. Soparker is the very best. Dr. Soparker saved my life. I encourge others to use his services.

This Dr. is excellant. I had to have a small tumor removed from a visble portion of my eye. This doctor made sure the scar was not detectable. His staff is also excellant, they helped me figure out issues with my insurance company. The doctor also allowed me to have the surgery in his office to help with my tight money situation.
