He is a great doctor. I am his patient at least for 15 years. Always attentive, listen to your problems and solves it. Also, great "bedside manner".
I just had my colonoscopy procedure today. I can't say that many look forward to this, I being one of them. The prep wasn't bad at all. I liked how they broke it up into 2 sessions- evening and the morning before.
Everyone was so kind and nice from the beginning at the reception desk to the discharge. Holly- RN, Nicole- Anesthesiologist,
Tyler- post procedure. Dr. James Stewart was wonderful. He was very personable, professional, and took the time to listen to my concerns. He explained his findings after the procedure. I was very pleased to have him as my physician.

Dr. Stewart was very friendly, and courteous. Put my mind at ease. Helped me schedule an appointment for my procedure.
I think I’ve seen three different GI doctors but Dr.Schmidt really was listening to all my concerns. I told my husband coming out of his office I really feel like this Doctor will actually help me with my IBS problems. I really hope so too I’ve been wanting to find a Doctor that showed concern in me symptoms. Thank you
I was referred here by my primary urgent care office, and I am glad I was. The front desk women were kind, welcoming, and the help I received with insurance questions was reassuring. Amy, who help me before Dr. Jensen, was incredible. She made me feel safe, comfortable, and less embarrassed about my situation. Dr. Jensen’s visit was informing and quick, and was able to resolve my issue. The nurse practitioner in the room was sweet and comforting as well. Overall, I am grateful for this location and everyone who works here. Thank you!
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’ve been to many GIs and Dr. Stewart is the best! I will recommend him to my family and friends. Super professional, kind, understanding, and doesn’t treat you like just another client.
Dr. Desautels is the best! He takes the time to explain the procedures and an answer any questions or concerns. I trust that he along with the Granite Peaks staff always provide me with the very best healthcare.

Rachel is very kind, helpful and most importantly knowledgeable. She makes you feel heard and has created a clear path for me to getting better. Highly recommended.
Simple Checkin, staff was very friendly, and Dr Schmidt listened and prognosed from there. Thx
Professional and respectful. Really saved my ass, can’t recommend them highly enough!
He was very kind and listened to all my problems and concerns. I felt that he gave me a good plan of action to try to get my ulcerative colitis into remission.
Very kind and thorough with the questions and information they provided
May is AWESOME! She’s very knowledgeable and she listens to everything you say! All the people in the front office are kind!
Rachel was excellent. She listened to my concerns, discussed possible solutions and took the time to figure out an appropriate course of action. Great bedside manner. Did not feel like I was rushed at all. 5 out of 5 stars.
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. 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
Granite Peaks was able to schedule an appointment for me to have a colonoscopy with very short notice. I appreciate the kindness and attentiveness to care for me individually, shown through very thorough explanations, time to ask questions, and knowledgeable and helpful resources that were offered to me during my colonoscopy, follow up phone call, and office visit as well.
The practice is efficient and excellent at providing patient a support and comfort right down to the smallest details. I was offered a warm blanket before my colonoscopy. I was comfortable relaxed, and at ease in this safe space.. I am very particular about the healthcare providers that I patronize. I have been medically harmed.in the past. I seek only the best providers whom are considerate and attentive to patient experience and treat patients with respect. Dr. Desautels met and exceeded every standard of care and non harm in all areas of his professional practice.
The online portal allowed me to complete the registration paperwork before I went to my first appointment. The office also had provisions to complete this paperwork in office using paper and clipboard if one does not have access to a smart phone or computer.
The staff was kind and welcoming, friendly, and smiled at me each time I came to the office. I appreciated the warm and friendly atmosphere.
Dr. Steven Desautels has a genuine and authentic interest in providing the best experience for his patients. He solicits feedback and listens with care. I am very pleased with my experience with Granite Peaks and with Dr. Desautels and highly recommend all those who like me, seek the highest levels of health and excellence.
Great work, Dr. Desautels!
With gratitude,
