Every person that I encountered that day in the office was so nice and helpful. The person at the sign in desk to the person who walked me to the car after my procedure was awesome. It made an uncomfortable procedure seem so much better.

William E.
The surgical facility is very convenient, staff is great and Dr Quallich is very personable and attentive.
Brooke P.
I had my initial consult with Dr. Bakken. The whole process has been smooth and efficient. Dr. Bakken was very kind and I feel that she was truly listening. I feel confident moving forward with her.
Theresa W.
Great place. The staff is exceptional from beginning to end. My husband and I both have been and neither of us had complaints. Friendly environment and they make you very comfortable. I would recommend them to anyone. 😊
Melissa K.
I have been a patient of Dr.Bakken’s for many years. She - and everyone I have encountered at the entire practice - are professional, kind, and caring. I trust them and highly recommend to friends and family.
Allan G.
Everyone was pleasant and very good at their jobs.
Wilfred S.
I had my colonoscopy at the Troy facility, performed by Dr. Wille. They are very efficient, I was in and out in roughly 1 hour. My previous experiences at other facilities were at best 2 hours. Every encounter, from start to finish, was with a smiling, very friendly person. I’ve never had that happen before. They are the best.
Susan C.
I felt as if I was with family members during the whole procedure. Everyone is very accommodating and professional. I recommend Dr. Bologna to everyone!
Robert B.
Professional and everything I could have wanted. A+
Matthew R.
All told, dealt with over 1/2 dozen staff during visit. Each of them was very friendly and very helpful. Procedure was painless, and everything about it, as well as what to expect after, was communicated clearly and patiently. Outstanding group here.
Paul M.
The pa saw on line very informative helped a lot
Michael A.
I’ve been going there for years, they are wonderful. The Doctors at Beaumont told me to take my dad home and call hospice. If it weren’t for God and Dr Weber my dad wouldn’t be here today (6 years later). One of the few doctors that will “take his hand off the door knob “and give you all the time your need to fully understand what is going on and what your options are.
Elliot
I think I will be going here when I need to from now on.
Stephen S.
The center is run efficiently with well trained staff.
Nalisa F.
I received optimum care from the receptionist to my departure care nurse. I totally love and trust Dr. Bakken as she gave me comfort before and after my procedure. This was a calming experience that I will never forget. Thank you all, especially Roger!
Allen B.
Dr Wiley and his staff were very helpful. I would definitely recommend your office.
Susan P.
I had a wonderful experience. The prep was very clear. My procedure began on time. I have very difficult veins to get an IV in and Rachel did it almost without me feeling. Dr. Wille was very nice and comforting. The tech (sorry, I don’t remember his name) and I believe Mary, the nurse anesthesiologist, were great at their jobs. The tech positioned the pillows perfectly. The negatives not had to do with the prep itself. I had a hard time not eating and drinking the prep the day before. I also unfortunately ended up soiling myself after drinking the midnight prep. I also had a questionable very large polyp for which I’m awaiting results. Overall everything within the office’s control was so unbelievably terrific.
Mike A.
Very nice and clean staff. Great service
Pamela F.
Everyone was friendly and kind. I was taken back shortly after arriving. They explained what they were doing. I was done in a timely manner. I was given juice when I woke up. The doctor came in to see me. Talked about my procedure and was very nice. I found the whole process easy. More productive than going to the hospital. Easier quicker. No problems.
