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.

The staff at the Center for Digestive Health are so friendly and professional. They made me feel relaxed and comfortable and showed a genuine concern toward my feeling and concerns.

I would definitely recommend this office. The staff and the doctors are amazing!

Colonoscopies are probably one of the more intimate procedures one could experience and the entire team at CDH manage the process with excellence. I am happy to recommend the staff and especially the crew I worked with, from Dr. Quallich to the admitting staff, professionalism and a caring nature will be the result, as I have witnessed.

Angie M.
I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Bakken. I wish she could be my primary care physician too. She’s very friendly. She explains her recommendations so I understand why I should get certain things done. She doesn’t make me feel like I’m “just” the patient and I just need to listen to her. I’m so glad I found her!
annette E.
I recently had two procedures on June 26th, 2025. Upon arriving at the office, the staff was friendly and helpful. Check-in was seamless, and I barely waited before being called. The team efficiently gathered my information and assured me I’d be seen shortly. Within five minutes, I was in a room. The nurse and CRNA gathered more information and then the CRNA promptly wheeled me to the procedure room. Both the assistant and doctor were already there, ready and kind. The CRNA and assistant quickly got me all set up, and before I knew it, I was awake and ready to go. A kind staff member even escorted me to my car afterward. Overall, it was a 5-star experience!
Toni B.
A great experience. I was given all the information I needed. Thank you.
BAM
Dr. Donat is the best. The clinical staff is amazing.
Melissa M.
Dr. Willie is amazing! Everyone at the center is super kind! I would definitely recommend this crew to anyone!
Marilynne M.
Dr. Willie is very kind and thorough. He truly cares about his patients.
Darryl K.
Originally went in for a routine procedure. Dr Nandy talked to me about other unrelated symptoms I mentioned and recommended a different test, in which he found an issue, biopsied some cells and found they were pre-cancerous. He may have saved my life because he was attentive, listened and was concerned. Staff has been very polite and helpful. It's a very busy office, but the do good work! Thank you Dr Nandy and Team!
Alice B.
Very nice and friendly
heather D.
Great staff. I had a procedure done and they made it very comfortable and were extremely helpful. Highly recommend.

Other than the prep, it was an easy and non intrusive experience. Very polite and well trained staff.
Gene F.
I never have to wait for my appt. Everyone is friendly. Dr Wille doesn't "run" out of the room when he's done, he makes sure u have all your questions answered. I highly recommend the Center for Digestive Health
