Dr. Militza Ausmanas attended Penn State University where she earned two Bachelor of Science degrees, the first in biology and the second in health policy and administration, graduating in 2000. Inspired by her mother, an OB/GYN physician, Dr. Ausmanas attended Meharry Medical College in Nashville, Tennessee, from which she graduated in 2007.  She completed her residency at the Williamsport Family Medicine Residency in Williamsport, Pennsylvania where she was chief resident and enjoyed time volunteering on the medical staff for the Little League World Series.

In 2013, Dr. Ausmanas moved to Olympia to be closer to family. She worked in a primary care office at Capital Medical Center. A desire for a smaller town closer to the mountains attracted her to the North Olympic Peninsula where she worked at Olympic Medical Physicians in Port Angeles before joining Sequim Medical Associates in 2019.

Dr. Ausmanas believes in empowering her patients through education. She feels that patient/doctor relationships built on strong two-way communication lead to better health and happier patients. Taking the time to listen, understand and learn about a patient is key to developing personalized care plans that work best for an individual. Her excitement for improving a patient’s life is contagious! Dr. Ausmanas has a personal interest in women’s health, with a particular emphasis on menopause, perimenopause, osteoporosis, and female urinary symptoms. She provides comprehensive, evidence-informed care for midlife and older women, addressing hormonal changes, bone health, and genitourinary concerns with personalized treatment plans developed through shared decision-making. A member of The Menopause Society, Dr. Ausmanas incorporates a range of therapeutic options into her practice, including bioidentical hormone therapy as one of the tools she may use to support patients undergoing age related changes.

Dr. Ausmanas loves spending time outdoors with her husband Jeff. She enjoys to hike, snowshoe, rock climb and backpack. Other favorite diversions include cooking, gardening, photography and tending to her aquariums. She is also fluent in Spanish and enjoys finding opportunities to use her second language skills.

Dr. Ausmanas’s practice is currently open to new patients.
