Office was packed with patients at 7:30 am. I was 10 minutes early. Patients were called and moving. My appointment was smooth the whole time from start to finish. Extremely efficient office. I saw 6 different people and all 6 were friendly, smiling, competent, and kept me comfortable and at ease. Pre-office procedures and calls were 100% the best. I love this office!
Amy K.
Dr Weber was wonderful. He was kind and thorough. I like how he asked questions to really understand my symptoms. He offered me a medication and retesting in a hopeful way. I felt so comfortable with his explanations. I am glad to have him as my doctor now.

From the scheduling to the nurses to the doctor, everything went smooth. The nurses explained everything with me in detail, and were very nice. Dr. Nandi came in before the procedure and made sure I didnt have any questions and explained what he was going to do. When you're not feeling good, having a nice and helpful staff there is an excellent feeling.

I appreciated that they had telehealth appointments available so I could consult with the doctor within a month of my first contact, which is great for a specialist these days. Dr. Bakken is very amiable and I feel very comfortable in her care. Her office staff also seems very friendly and efficient.
Bobbi F.
Great experience from start to finish. Super staff!
Rick B.
7/8/25 I've had 10 colonoscopies in the last 25 years. This was my first visit with Dr Bologna. I read in some of his reviews about him returning a call late, not being compassionate enough, to some complaining about him wearing an Armani suit. Based on those complaints I still choose him based on his credentials.First,be glad your doctor has established his career enough to have earned the right to purchase what ever he wants. Would it make you fell better if your doctor wore shorts and a tank top?then there was a complaint about him being late on a phone call. Why should that be surprising? Ever been to a doctors vist when there on time? When I go too the doctors I educate myself in detail about my condition. When I ask questions and doctors see I actually know what I'm talking about they have always responded well. DR.Bologna and I spoke about my condition right before my procedure, we went over my past reports as well as photos, No small talk just strait business. His facility and staff were all very professional. They called in the afternoon to check on how I was doing. I would recommend him and his facility to any family members.
LiAnne E.
I've been in desperate search for a new GI for quite some time now after not experiencing much with my last one. I got in to see Dr. Khan a week after calling due to a cancellation, while other places were booked out months ahead. The Macomb office was clean and her medical assistant Margaret is so sweet, empathetic, and easy to talk to. Dr. Khan was very honest, efficient, and clear in explaining every option. So far, since my first appointment, I've already done three different tests and am super impressed with the very active follow-up and helping me hopefully (finally) resolve my ongoing stomach issues!! I have already recommended them to all my other friends who also experience similar GI related issues.
Doug K.
Communication prior to and during procedure was clear and professional. Everyone was friendly and supportive from start to finish.
