Who Is Center for Digestive Health?

Center for Digestive Health is also known as Troy Gastroenterology. We are committed to providing high-quality treatment for patients with digestive disorders. Our focus on digestive health means that our team’s expertise in this field is unlike most others. Our staff is devoted to providing a level of care to our patients that exceeds their expectations. We treat those who visit our clinics with empathy, understanding and professionalism.

At Center for Digestive Health, our specialists have extensive expertise in all aspects of the digestive system. We perform diagnostic procedures, disease studies, motility studies and symptom management.

What They Are Saying

Sandra T.
I recently had a colonoscopy performed by Dr. Donat at the Center for Digestive Health in Troy and I was very impressed with the staff, nurses and Dr. Donat. My procedure was painless and I was treated so kindly and I was very comfortable. After the procedure I was given a copy of the pictures of my colon explaining what the Dr. performed and he did come to me in the recovery room and explained everything, leaving me very relieved and informed. The nurses and Anesthesiologist were so kind and comforting. I would recommend this center to all my family and friends for all their surgical needs.
TerriLynn S.
From the first phone call to set up the procedure I was put at ease. When I came in to be checked in the ladies at the front desk were so nice and friendly then the nurse who asked all the questions so nice and informative. The nurse that put in my iv got it the first time! Wow! The anesthesiologist and the nurse who were in the room to do the scope kept me calm. The Dr is very kind. And made me comfortable. Can’t leave out the nurses in recovery. So nice! It doesn’t happen to much where everyone in a doctors office are kind and compassionate but this one is. Thank you for making me feel taken care of.
