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.

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.

Dr. Quallich has been my gastro doc for several years. I have chronic medical conditions which he understands and treats with great compassion. He never rushes and he listens. Even if I haven't seen him for a year, he seems to remember me and my personal needs, despite his numerous patients. He always has a friendly smile and it's literally a joy to see him. On top of all that, I have always had complete confidence in his skill and treatment plans for me. I would eagerly recommend him to anyone.
