Stephen W.
If you're ever in the need of a preventive colonoscopy screening, and some dad jokes, the Center for Digestive Health is my recommendation. Apart for the preparation and the IV they stick in your arm, the procedure was painless and innocuous. The medical staff are professionals, with an appropriate sense of humor, efficient, offer assistance when needed, and answer any questions you may have. This was my second colonoscopy screening with the Center for Digestive Health and I'm looking forward to having them perform my third...which, fortunately, won't be needed for another 5 years.

Heidi A.
Dr. Donat is a wonderful doctor. I've been seeing him for a few years and he is always kind, patience, and helpful. I would rcommend him withour a bit of hesitation. That's hard to find in todays climate!
J L.
Dr. Bakken is INCREDIBLY thorough and professional. Probably one of the best experiences I've had with a medical professional -- she really takes her time and explores all options and possibilities as we try to figure out my mystery pain. The office is very clean, the front desk staff is nice, and I was seen very quickly by the Dr (Around 1 on a Thursday). The front desk also gave me very thorough instructions for my follow up care.
john M.
I moved here from Texas back in 06,since that time,Dr Donat and his staff and partners have had my health and interests at the forefront of all else,I would not be here to testament if y'all hadn't been there.Thank you much.
Tom G.
Fantastic Service!
Lolita M.
It was a calm and peaceful experience.
Debbie L.
I was impress with the way I was treated and felt so @ ease
John C.
IMO Colonoscopies (generally due to the "prep") rate somewhere close to "root canals" and "tax audits" on my "fun list"...but they are necessary. If you have to get one - this is the place! The whole process was quick and low stress. Very little idle waiting time, yet any interactions with the Staff were caring and respectful (sadly that is not necessarily what I have come to expect lately). Everythig was explained, and all my questions answered prior to any actions. The entire process took approximately 90 minutes ...and I got a nice (albiet, very short) nap. Not sharing the "photos" I got!
michele P.
Very organized and staff and dr wille excellent
Susan K.
