This was my first time meeting Karlee for my long going gut issues. She was professional and engaging, interested and curious. I look forward to working with her.
Very accomodating staff over all
Dr. Ausk and her team were amazing! I felt safe & pampered from beginning to end. I have asthma & was having slight wheezing at check in and the team paid close attention to my symptoms, treated it accordingly (instructed & waited for my inhaler to take effect). Checked & checked again. After they were confident about my breathing, I was put under anesthesia & the whole procedure went by in a blink. Like a very well-rehearsed play, everyone in the room had their space, performing specific tasks that they’ve done a hundred times before. Professional, light-hearted and very experienced. Highly recommend 10 STARS!!
Dr. Karlee Ausk uses an intelligent, logical analysis style to sort out and explain what is most likely causing the symptoms you are having and what if anything you need to do about it. She really helped put my mind at ease and then wrote a wonderfully detailed report on everything we had talked about.
I’ve been a patient of Dr Ausk’s for years now. She is an amazing Dr.. She is an advocate for my health beyond my GI care. She Is very knowledgeable and great at explaining things to me. With my disease I would be lost without her. I had very bad experiences with other GI Doctors before becoming her patient.
Dr. Ausk took as much time that was needed and weighed the info from my doc in California, which was not consistent. She was personable and very helpful!!
Great experience. Everyone was so kind. Anesthesia was top notch(Robin King). Dr. Ausk is a really good doctor. Very kind and good at what she does.
Karlee and the staff were wonderful, quick and efficient check in. I feel my medical needs were met and exceeded my expectations.
Great care and expertise. Appreciate Dr. Ausk.
Dr Ausk was very professional and user-friendly. After studying my lab work, she was able to voice some outcomes other doctors did not share with me that greatly effects my medical condition.
Dr. Ausk is AWESOME!! I just met her in advance of my colonoscopy and she was so confident and personable, I felt totally at ease immediately. Though I have to go on the “5 year plan” for colonoscopies, not so bad so long as Dr. Ausk is the one taking care of me! (BTW, definitely get the “Gatorade colonoscopy mixture” if at all possible!!!)
Not only was Dr. Ausk awesome, all the nurses and techs were equally as amazing. They took great care of me, had me laughing from the get-go and throughout the procedure and even offered a bit of song and dance!!!

I have trouble with anesthesia and they really listened. Dr Ausk is excellent as well as the nurses. An easy experience.
I had a very positive experience. The very sweet nurses were kind and caring. Ben the anesthesiologist, was fun and efficient, and doctor Ausk who I just met was kind and knowledgeable. They were efficient, the facility was clean and smelled fresh, it was my first visit to their office and I would recommend them to friends and family.
Dr Ausk and her staff made the procedure as comfortable and pleasant as possible. She explained things well and have me confidence in her skills
Lovely looking facility. Minimal wait time. All questions to doctor answered . Did not feel rushed .Staff couldn't have been more comforting.
Efficient, courteous, great communication and care from reception/intake to recovery.
I had a great experience with Dr. Karlee Ausk. She is an excellent listener, very thorough in explaining details, and took the time to answer all my questions. Her positive and reassuring attitude made me feel confident and well cared for. After my appointment, I felt uplifted and grateful to have her as my doctor.
I was previously a patient of Dr. Rees Lui, who was also an amazing doctor. When she retired, she referred me to Dr. Karlee Ausk, and I couldn’t be happier with the transition. I truly appreciate the care and professionalism she brings to her practice. Highly recommend!

As a patient who often stumps physicians due to the complexity of my disorders, Dr. Ausk is one who goes the extra mile and a half to discover what I need. Truly grateful.
