Fasting for a day and a half and drinking the colonoscopy prep drink can really turn someone into a complete jerk. I showed up to the clinic just wanting to get it over with. They seem to understand this and I’m sure most people feel this way as they walk into their clinic. Checking in was easy. I didn’t wait long and the nurse doing all the prep work on me was absolutely incredible. Covered all the information I thought I would ever need to know. The doctor asked me all the right questions and answered the ones I had in detail. The anesthesiologist was quick to get me under the next thing I knew was I was starting to wake up and could hear my wife complaining about how she only got two chapters into her book. They understood that my throat would be dry and gave me options for a drink. Funny thing is that Dr. Cutler asked me where my favorite place to eat was just before I went under. After the procedure he told my wife that I needed to go home but not until I’ve eaten at my favorite place to eat. Got to follow Dr. Orders right?
Exceptional caring professionals with a great sense of humor. 🤣🤣🤣. It was such a fun experience, I’m going back in 5 years. Thank you! lol. Seriously, I highly recommend this clinic. They will definitely keep your colon healthy and happy. I would give a 10 star review if I could.👍
Dr. David J. Schmidt, MD, is an attentive and compassionate physician who takes the time to listen and understand your needs. He follows up on any concerns or questions, ensuring comprehensive care. His office staff is professional, responsive, and efficient, promptly addressing any request and following up as needed. I highly recommend Dr Schmidt and his team
As far as the colon 0scpy it was a good experience. Was taken care of by all personnel. The anathesa was so easy to come out off. Highly reccomend.
You don’t want to see the photos… great staff!
I am very pleased with my experience
Dr Mark Jensen is a great doctor. He is kind, understanding, and explains everything to you. This last time I went it all went good until I went to get a prescription. They messed up on what the prescription says so I could not get it from my pharmacy. Then when I was going to call a nurse called I told her the dilemma she said she'd pass it on. And it was about a week ago that that happened and nobody has fixed it. I finally got someone to fix it after having to be stern and demanding on when I need this done then I got a different doctors nurse up there that was not happy how I talked. This all could have been avoided if Dr Jensen's nurse would have put the prescription in right on the first time. That is why I gave this place a four stars.
Dr. Schmidt and the staff were very friendly. The procedure was explained clearly and over quickly
I was very happy with Dr. Desautels. He is calm and kind and very thorough. I felt cared for and had no qualms with my procedures. He is very personable and easy to talk to and has a great bedside manner. I’d recommend him to anyone.
Awesome doctor, easy to talk to, great staff. I highly recommend them.
Marguerite Marschner is exceptional!!!
Her combination of intelligence and kindness is rare.
Her exam was thorough and perceptive.
Her guidance and interpretation of the test results reduced my confusion and fear. Her guidance gives me so much hope!
I have sought her help over many years and she is always smart, kind, and helpful!

Dr. Schmidt has been wonderful. Excellent bedside manner, knowledgeable, very skilled, and always takes time to answer questions. I can’t recommend him highly enough. The entire team at Granite Peaks has been great, as well!
My mom visited Granite Peaks Gastro for a Colonoscopy and was having some concerns the day prior to her procedure. She called and spoke to nurse Holly who went above and beyond to make sure my mom’s preparation and procedure went smoothly. Holly took extra time out of her day to provide personal touch care. On the day of my moms procedure Holly even came to check on her in recovery even though she wasn’t my moms nurse. Sarah was her nurse and she was also excellent in providing care for mom. Highly recommend the Granite Peaks staff.
Dr. Desautels and staff were very nice and friendly. You feel welcomed and cared for the moment you step in the office. Would definitely recommend to anyone.
I am a new patient and explained the issues I've had. The doctor listened and helped my concerns. However, I was never told that the diagnostic anoscopy was going to be seperate from the office visit. After a few weeks they were able to remove the code and help me out. Good business.
Looking at the wound which is only 10cm from practically the rest of the room, without advanced tech, hardly sounds any type of scopy that renders any financial addition that costs the same as the appointment!
Yes, I am aware doctors dont know additional costs beforehand, but let me know if this isnt included, having a doctor checking my behind internally at least 10cm twice before. That was included in the appointment cost, I am not crazy to assume this.
I am in pain and cant remember to ask these important things sometimes that shows how gastro and general physicians bills are different, fill me in, someone, anyone. We talked about a colonoscopy which would've flew by this area anyways so why double charge me?
I already knew and explained I had a fissure and hemmroids, the doctor understood. I was never informed this was going to cost extra to do a mini procedure to confirm the obvious, I would never have approved.
Why is it maybe an expectation that I have to explain what feels like every detail to the doctor to be heard and the burden is on me the patient to ask if something is going to cost extra at the turn of the conversation. I am a sub teacher and I know I have to give clear expectations to my students before consequences of any sort, I don't see how this is any different.
Since the doctor should be focused, shouldn't a nurse explain this to me before starting any additions from the new patient visit? I don't have the money I am a substitute teacher and exercise really good precaution with my diet, related exercises and better-ing techniques and all, so that I am doing my part as a patient.

I was amazed of how friendly and caring the staff was during my recent visit for a colonoscopy. Dr. Stewart and his team were caring, informative and professional. From the front desk, colonoscopy procedure, to post op, they were all awesome. Thanks Dr Stewart and team. You all deserve a raise. 😉
I recently had a colonoscopy at Granite Peaks and was EXTREMELY pleased with the entire staff and overall patient experience. From the time of scheduling, the front office was accommodating and informative about the steps involved for the procedure. They had a smooth online registration portal, multiple appointment reminders, and a nurse called a few days before to address any remaining concerns. The front office was clean and comfortable and they ran right on time, which was nice since your ride is required to remain onsite. My prep nurse was extremely patient, knowledgeable, and helpful. IV nurse & Anesthesiologist were quick and made for a painless (otherwise awkward) experience. Dr. Desautels performed the procedure and came into the recovery room, right upon waking, to deliver the results and answer my remaining questions. Having worked in the healthcare space and helped practices ensure they have a nice patient experience, I can say first hand that this office has it down perfectly.
I was referred here by a friend. And I'm so glad I was. They are professional, listen and explain everything so well.
Very professional and friendly.
Very pleased with staff and procedure on the Colonoscopy
