Dr. Michael Sparks, MD, is a board‑certified family medicine physician based in Sanford, Florida. A native Floridian, Dr. Sparks grew up in the Tampa area before moving to Orlando to pursue his undergraduate studies at the University of Central Florida, where he earned a Bachelor’s in Biology with a minor in Health Sciences. He then attended Ross University School of Medicine, graduating with high honors. Dr. Sparks completed his Family Medicine Residency at St. Vincent’s Medical Center in Jacksonville, Florida, where he served as Chief Resident during his final year.

Outside the clinic, Dr. Sparks enjoys time with his family, running, and watching soccer and hockey.
