What They Are Saying

Rick M.
I only waited in the waiting room about five minutes they took me right in And the young lady explained everything thoroughly while she was giving me the IV and next thing I know I was in recovery waiting to go home
Irene M.
I appreciate the convenience of virtual appointments.
Paula L.
I felt welcomed, and at ease from the moment I walked in to the moment I left. The receptionist was so kind and patient. The nurse anesthesiologist had the greatest bedside manner and was so comforting and calming. I received my results from my colonoscopy and endoscopy the same day and received a call from the staff the following morning to see if I had any problems. A+++
Monika D.
Everyone in the office was very nice and respectful and made me feel comfortable. Thank you
Lynne W.
Very Clean facility. Everyone was very kind and courteous!
Diane E.
Addressed all of our concerns, friendly and thorough . Facility was clean, and reception desk helpful. No wait was especially nice.
Kelly D.
Everyone here was very professional! They didn’t make you feel weird about the procedure in the least. Dr. Donat was very upbeat and reassuring. I wish I remembered the names of all the staff that were part of the team. They were all incredible
Barbara T.
My husband Ken had his colonoscopy on December 1, with Dr. Desai. Thankfully , my results were great. Dr. Desai was great, affable, explained everything well, spent as much time as we needed to tell us what he did and how it went. He provided photos (yay) of various parts of my colon during the test. I may frame them… Anyway, the prep is always the worst part of these test ordeals, but Dr. Desai’s pre-procedure protocol took a bit longer but was gentler, which I appreciated. His office staff was great, well organized and efficient. The nurses and techs were also friendly, skilled. and encouraging. I would recommend anyone to see Dr. Desai and his group for such procedures.
Ken M.
Excellent experience. Wonderful and friendly staff and service. Highly recommend.
Joe Z.
My colonoscopy was an examination of my large colon and the distal part of my small bowel with a camera. 10/10 would totally recommend
Elizabeth G.
Staff was very nice!

The staff was friendly and the nurses were very nice. The only thing that could have been a little better is if they had coffee in the waiting room for the people waiting on their family or friend to get done.

sigrid T.
I wasn’t feeling well for a while. Kept putting off Dr . Appt. I had an EDG with Dr. Quallich. I feel safe with him. Talking to him is easy, he is kind and thorough with procedure. His staff is also kind and capable. You don’t lay around waiting for things to be taken care of. I found out what was making me miserable and I’m in the process of handling things with his help. Thank you Dr Quallich and staff!
Rosalind C.

I have been a patient of Dr.Bakken’s for many years. She - and everyone I have encountered at the entire practice - are professional, kind, and caring. I trust them and highly recommend to friends and family.
Daisy S.
The staff was attentive, efficient and very kind. They did an excellent job of explaining the procedure and what to expect, as well as reassuring me of any concerns I might have. Dr. Weber is awesome. I would recommend the Center for Digestive Health to anybody needing the services they provide.
Angel C.
I had a positive experience at the Center for Digestive Health in Macomb, where the staff demonstrated exceptional care and compassion. Although the tests I underwent were quite stressful, the team explained each step thoroughly, making the process more manageable. The anesthesiologist was particularly reassuring before the procedure, and the doctor provided a detailed explanation of the results afterward. The welcoming nature of the team helped alleviate my concerns, and I highly recommend this center to anyone, especially those with anxiety about medical appointments.
C F.
Great staff. Everyone was very attentive.
Mary S.
Spoke to Dr Nandi’s nurse Margaret more than once with questions. She couldn’t have more understanding or patient with me. I have complete confidence in Dr. Nandi..he’s the best!
