Capsule Endoscopy

We are pleased to work with you and provide the most effective means of establishing diagnoses for patients with unexplained small bowel disorders. If you are interested in knowing more about the procedure or have a patient who may benefit from this procedure please contact our office at (517) 332-1200 anytime between 8:30 am and 4:30 pm and we will be happy to assist you.

Capsule endoscopy overview

Simply requiring a 12-hour fast along with prescription colon prep prior to the procedure, the Capsule Endoscopy procedure begins when the patient swallows the capsule with a small amount of water.  Data and images are transmitted as the capsule passes through the digestive system and are received by the data recorder affixed to a belt worn by the patient.

After approximately eight hours, the patient returns the Data Recorder to our office for processing by a dedicated computer workstation.  The computer’s RAPID® Application Software enables us to view and analyze the resulting patient video report.

Clinical efficiency

This non-invasive diagnostic exam provides a substantially improved level of visual imaging for early detection and diagnosis of gastrointestinal tract disease. Over 120 peer reviewed journal articles have been published establishing capsule endoscopy as the gold standard for small bowel imaging.

Indications

This technology, cleared by the FDA for patients ages 10 and up, is intended for visualization of the small bowel mucosa as a tool in the detection of abnormalities of the small bowel.

Contraindications

Capsule Endoscopy is contraindicated for use under the following conditions:

  • In patients with known or suspected gastrointestinal obstruction, strictures, or fistulas based on the clinical picture or pre-procedure testing and profile.
  • In patients with cardiac pacemakers or other implanted electromedical devices.
  • In patients with swallowing disorders.

What They Are Saying

Terri D.
This place is awesome! If you have gut issues, this is your place. The utmost of professionalism! Can’t say enough good!
Jaden D.
I have had really bad experiences with Gastroenterologists in the past due to my history with bulimia nervosa. I have complications from years of my illness, and have been turned down by Gastros in the past or them downplaying my symptoms. I was really anxious going into this appt with Dr. Richard Wille, however I had the best experience ever! He listened to me, didnt make me feel bad about my history, and developed a plan to figure out what's going on. I never make reviews, however, I am just so grateful to have found a doctor who actually cares and listens to their patients. I definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking for a gastroenterologist!
Kathy R.
From the moment I walked in the door, everyone was so pleasant & friendly. I knew again that I was in the right place for testing & future treatments. Dr. Richard Willie & his procedure staff is very kind & pleasant as well. I would highly recommend him for any gastrointestinal needs anyone has! Another event end of year 2025 that sent me to the ER & needed a follow up with Dr Wille.
I again highly recommend Dr Wille. He cares, he's patient & thorough. I cannot express enough how wonderful Reneshia (nurse in scheduling) was. This event was extremely difficult for me & she calmed & reassured me all would be well. Thank you for having her in your practice!
Tom S.
My visit with Dr Donot was a follow up visit after a procedure and fortunately there was not a lot to talk about but the Doctor asked all the questions and made sure anything I needed was answered. Great visit.
Peggy R.
The procedure was painless. The doctor and anesthesiologist were wonderful and took time to explain the results. I felt great when I woke up and went out to enjoy a relaxing breakfast.

leslie C.
All of Troy Gastroenterolgy is great. Dr Abadir is my Dr and he is very good. I had issues and he worked with me and my primary to improve my condition. He listens to every word i say intently and then he comes up with questions for me and then he starts his plan to help me. And he did! Great doctor.

I feel Dr. Bakken listened to me and was very thorough. She is a sweetheart and very nice. Scheduling was very efficient and I felt her office was too. You need to have an office that runs efficiently. I had an experience with another office that was not so I quit going to them.
Susan W.

Nancy T.
Doctor Willie was right on time and very helpful. Great physician. We need more doctors like Doc Willie. Awesome.
Denise K.
I changed to Dr Willy because I wasn't getting any progress from my previous Dr. Things aren't going any differently here. He wants to schedule more tests that I've already had on more than one occasion. I had 17 ERCPs in 3 years with my previous DR. and now he wants another. I did the colonoscopy and EUS 2 years ago with Dr Willey. He said to make sure he didn't miss anything. If he missed something I don't want him as my Dr.!
N S.
Dr. Abadir was very nice and thorough. He cares about his patients and will do what is necessary to resolve your health issues. We have been to the Romeo plank office which was very clean.The only thing is when you are greeted they are nice and thorough but need to smile. 🙂
Carmetia M.
From check in to being assisted safely to my driver the staff was so kind and professional. They have gotten a 5 stars but I need 1 question answered. I think my awesome Doctor did inform me but coming from under anesthesia I don't think I recall- this is my only reason I'm withholding 1 pron of the 5 star in my mind lol 😊 no doubt they are fivevstar.

Hi I have been a patient of Center for Digestive Health since I was in my mid 20's. I am now in my late 40's now.. I have seen Dr.Donat and a few of the other Dr's in the practice. Dr. Donat has been my primary person. He has been amazing. My problems have been complicated and challenging. I know I have caused him head scratching moments of wondering what the heck is wrong. Yet all thru it his bedside manner has been amazing kind he answers all my questions. He never makes you feel uncomfortable or unimportant. If you have GI issues or need GI help. Go see him. Or anyone of the other staff. The office staff is amazing as well his Medical Assistant Sarah is so thoughtful. Thank you everyone at The Center For Digestive Health For Making what could be an uncomfortable time less difficult.
Lisa L.
Such a pleasant group of nurses and doctors.
Don S.
I was very pleased with my visit to this office. I got in within minutes of my appointment. I had my questions answered and was out quickly. Everyone was very pleasant.
George K.
I had a procedure this morning with Dr. Nandi at the Surgical Centers of Michigan located on Investment Drive. Dr. Nandi as always was the most professional and caring doctor that I have encountered.
But, what impressed me was the staff in the office. The TEAM (receptionist, the nurse who checked me and made me ready for the procedure, Anesthesiologist and nurse in the procedure room, the recovery room nurse, the PA who called me later in the day to check-up on me) showed me such care and compassion. It made me feel as if I was the most important patient that they would encounter.
It is obvious that these professionals love what they are doing. They love helping others. That made all the difference to me.
Thank you.
Brad W.
Everyone is so pleasant and helpful, runs like a well oiled machine with lots of compassion

Ralph B.
A very caring and professional facility. Everyone answered all my questions from check-in to recovery. I was given a very thorough report of my procedure with post op instructions. From having a warmed blanket covering me in pre op, being helped to my car after recovery and a follow up call to see how I was doing shows a very caring staff. Thank you!
Joan O.
I had an overall positive experience. Nobody wants to have a colonoscopy but they made it easy to schedule, directions spelled out clearly, received schedule time two days before so that helped in knowing what the day would bring. Arrived at the site and while the waiting room was full, the staff were calling patients back quickly. Clear estimates were given to driver on how long procedure would take. Inside the suite i was seen quickly by RN them CRNA and then wheeled back to see Dr and start procedure. Before i knew it i was waking up. Dr gave me results and time to go. Follow phone call let in day made me feel cared for. As i said, if you need colonoscopy done, they made it easy and comfortable. Staff all super pleasant and professional
William S.

Very professional, and kind!
Robin R.
Dr Weber instills confidence and the office staff are very kind. The pre-op nurses had me laughing, which made me much less nervous before my colonoscopy. The scope was fast and painless. The staff responsible for checking medications prior to the appt were clear and patient. The prep still sucks but the 3 day prep seemed gentler than the 2 day prep. The whole experience gets 5 stars! If you have to get it done, I highly recommend dr. W

Tina B.
Dr Webber is absolutely the kindest Dr I've ever been a patient of.
I can imagine that the medical profession is very demanding and I've been in offices where the Dr's have been short and barely stay in the room 2 minutes and I'm left with more questions than I walked in with but not with Dr Webber, I was the last appointment of the day and I'm sure he was ready for his day to be over but he stayed in there and answered every question that I had and was so kind and caring.
I highly recommend Dr Weber and his staff which were also completely amazing.
Thank you for showing that you actually care about your patients.
Tina M.
Either office,whether it's troy or macomb,just know you are going to be in the best hands. DR.Partha Nandi has been my doctor for 15-20 yrs(family history), my family also has doctor's at both places,,, Dr. Nandi and the staff treat you like family,, very comforting, stress free!Thank you!!!

I recently had a screening at the Center for Digestive Health, where Dr. Willie was the attending specialist. I would give him and the entire staff a 5.0 rating for making the entire experience as smooth and comfortable as possible.

Many thanks to everyone at the Center for Digestive Health for providing such excellent care.

She had a number of suggestions for adjusting my treatment that has me feeling hopeful for experiencing less G.I. symptoms! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her highly! The gentleman who brought me in to take my vital signs & edit my Med Profile did not give me his name, nor was he wearing a name tag that I could see. He was not very friendly or personable, but he did his job & I can't really fault him for tha! (He did not, however, look like he was very happy to be at work!) The staff at the front desk AND the checkout area were awesome! Nolan, was extra helpful in that he printed out my Visit Summary & mailed it to me!

But only if you want to feel better quickly!!!

Center for Digestive Health is a perfect place to go if you have any type of digestive issue. They make you feel very comfortable talking about any issue you may be experiencing and they ask all the appropriate questions all the while putting you at ease. When I called I was worried about something and they worked to get me right in. I saw the PA Noelle and she is just wonderful. Everyone at the desk and beyond are very welcoming and helpful. Dr. Weber has been my doctor there for years and I trust him explicitly. His assistant Debbie always helps me out and listens to me and is always very kind. The office is warm, clean and inviting. There are a few locations and so that makes it very nice. All in all I’m very impressed with this group of Doctors, Nurses and Assistants.
Robyn R.
Staff was professional and very friendly. My nurse Alyssa was absolutely the best I’ve ever had. I’m an extremely hard poke when it comes to IVs. Usually takes three times. Of course this makes me very nauseous and almost passing out due to all the pokes. She told me not to worry and relax.
She’s got me. Alyssa told me she was using a 22 gauge which USA very small needle and she was able to get it in the side of my hand without me feeling a thing. OMG I cannot thank her enough.
I love Dr. Willie, who is definitely one of my favorite and best docs. So kind, understanding, thorough, easy to speak with, and I never feel rushed.
Thank you again for my wonderful care.

FAQs

What happens during my first visit?
If you are a new patient, you can expect to have a complete physical exam. You will also be asked detailed questions about your current problems and your past medical history, your current medications, allergies, your family history and other pertinent medical information. If you are taking medications, please bring a completed medical history form with you to your appointment. Once the physician has reviewed your medical information and completed the physical examination, a plan of care will be developed. You may need to be seen again in the office, be referred back to your family physician for follow-up care, or require additional testing. If additional tests are needed, we will assist you in scheduling these tests.
What if I need to schedule an endoscopic procedure?

An endoscopic procedure allows the physician to visualize a part of your gastrointestinal tract with a special instrument called an endoscope. If your family physician has ordered testing, you will be contacted by telephone by one of our staff members. If a physician orders testing and you are in the office, the procedure can generally be scheduled during the course of your visit. You will be given a date, time, and location for the test, as well as written instructions telling you how to prepare for the test. If you have any questions about the procedure, please feel free to ask one of our staff members or the physician.

How do I get test results?

We ask that you wait 10 to 14 days before contacting us for results. Often results come from several different sources. This information needs to be compiled and reviewed by your physician before you can be appropriately advised. 

What insurances do you accept?

We accept payment from most insurance companies including Medicare, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Blue Care Network, Physicians Health Plan, Cofinity, Sparrow Professional Health Network, Medicaid, McLaren, Health Plus, and several others. Accepted insurances are subject to change at any time without notice.

If your insurance requires an authorization from your primary care physician, you may be asked to assist us in obtaining this authorization.

All patients are responsible for all copays and deductibles at the time of service.

If you have any questions regarding your benefits or insurance coverage, please contact our Billing Department at 248-844-9710.

What if I need to contact the doctor?

To contact your doctor during business hours please call our main number 248-844-9710. If you have an urgent need to speak with the doctor after hours, you will be rerouted to our after hours answering service, and your doctor will be paged. In the case of a medical emergency please proceed directly to the nearest hospital emergency room.
