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

Rachelle P.
I was very nervous, as this was my first colonoscopy. The staff was extremely comforting and friendly. Dr. Abadir was very patient and knowledgeable. The facility was very clean. I highly recommend Macomb Endoscopy.
Jo S.
The staff at The Center for Digestive Health is very warm and welcoming; as well as pleasant, personable and professional. The office is bright and clean. Dr. Donat is an exceptional physician, carefully listening to you—his patient—and taking your concerns seriously. He answers your questions, and works to get to the bottom of your issues. I’ve been seeing Dr. Donat for years and he’s always provided helpful advice and successful treatments. My hat’s off to The Center for Digestive Health, its staff and Dr. Donat.

Kristin P.
Everyone in the office - office staff, nurses, doctor were AMAZING. Very caring, thorough, and made the process of something that isn’t very fun, much easier to deal with. I also appreciated the follow up call later in the day to check in with how I was feeling after the procedure
Robert T.
The staff as with Doctor Bologna leadership is a fine tuned instrument . This staff is able to deal with any surprise providing work around solutions for any. Emergency
Randy J.
The entire staff was some of the nicest medical professionals I have ever dealt with. From the lady checking me in to the person taking my information and explaining the process to the anesthesiologist to the doctor to the recovery nurse. They took time to speak to me and explain what was happening and seeing if I had any questions. I will recommend the Center for Digestive Health to anyone I know and already have to 2 people in my office. It was a fantastic experience. Thank you.

sharon S.
Second visit. It's an Excellent facility. Kind, expert and professional medical professionals. I was impressed and thankful for their excellent care! Dr Bakken is excellent.
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.
Marilyn H.
Dr Anezi Bakken is such a good Dr. I have been her patient for over 10 years and will stay with her. The staff is the best I have ever seen. Keep up the good work. 😀
