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

Shahid B.
I have been a patient since 2011. My experience has always been positive at all stages. All the staff were extremely courteous and professional. Dr Nandi is a dignified professional. I am very fortunate to have him as my doctor.
David S.
The staff was friendly and caring. I felt comfortable right away! Dr. Willy seemed to have a terrific bedside manner!
Barbara L.
My husband saw a physician assistant, Jennifer, who was enormously helpful and understanding. Some of the issues we were having, she referred to Patricia Brown, who phoned us almost as soon as we got home. As my husband said, “they are really on top of their game.”
Dan C.
The staff was very polite, efficient and caring. Dr. Donat was kind and attentive. I am very pleased with how the procedure went!
Jim W.
When i first met Dr Tocco, I was surprised at how young he appears (probably because I am 64) but was reminded of that by my wife. I immediately felt at ease with him. he is easy to talk to and will answer questions in a conversation instead of a clinical sounding way. the staff is very warm and helpful.
Jona H.
I recently had a procedure done by Dr. Bakken and from start to finish my experience was amazing. To begin, Dr. Bakken has been the first doctor to make me feel heard and that I have someone advocating for my gut health. When I arrived for the procedure, every single person I interacted with was so kind and helpful. Once I was checked in and called back into the room, they did a great job getting me prepped for my procedure. Everyone I interacted with told me their name and what they were doing. I recommend this facility for anyone who is dealing with any type of gut health. I have celiac disease and IBS, and Dr. Bakken is doing everything she can to support me as I navigate this.
AL S.

Ken B.
The administration, nurses, and Dr Wille were excellent. Very patient oriented, informative, helpful, and friendly! A great experience!
Cathleen M.
Staff very friendly and pleasant, great at introducing themselves, smiling and making you feel comfortable. I would suggest that it becomes a requirement or is strongly encouraged that someone be with the patient when the physician comes to speak with them regarding results post procedure, after anesthesia the patient will not remember this physician visit, which is expected.

The home prep for the procedure I had lis unpleasant, but that is not the fault of Dr. Weber and his awesome team.

I felt well taken care by a staff that really cares. Thanks!
