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.

In addition, both our Surgical Centers of Michigan and Macomb Endoscopy Center have achieved accreditation by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC). Accreditation distinguishes these Centers from many other outpatient facilities by providing the highest quality of care to its patients as determined by an independent, external process of evaluation.

What They Are Saying

Todd
First time having a procedure done here. Staff was great. Definitely will use again in the future, if needed.
Marsha G.
Everyone on the team that I interacted with was pleasant, patient, and professional.
Douglas M.
I received fast and efficient service. I was only disappointed with having to be poked 3 times as I have a fear of needles.
Carole P.
Wonderful experience during appt for EGD. From check-in to pre-op, and recovery, everyone was cheerful, polite esp so early in the am. Nurse Katie was knowlegeable, friendly and comforting. All in all a great experience.
Joe F.
The phone system is terrible. It is difficult, if not impossible to get a hold of someone to respond to the Covid questions they want answered prior to the appointment. That being said, the care received when you are there for your procedure was second to none. They took the time to call me a couple days after my procedure to make sure I felt ok.
Lynnette O. B.
I was treated with the utmost level of professionalism and respect. Dr. Balkan took her time to understand my concerns while carefully explaining her plan to treat my condition. Thank you for everything.
Vicki K.
Everyone was so friendly and caring. I have total faith in Dr. Saeed. Highly recommend.
Mazen D.
Everyone was courteous and professional from scheduling to the procedure itself and afterwards. They made an unpleasant experience tolerable. Thank you to all. Highly recommend.
Ellen M.
Everybody was friendly and comforting, and even though I was very late, they never even questioned it

Dr Quallich is personable and caring about his patients. He answered all my questions & doesn’t make a person feel like they are being rushed. I had a technical problem with the Doxy system and the office was closed so I couldn’t get any help. When Dr Quallich came on line it worked fine.
