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

Don W.
A family history of colon troubles requires the routine check-up. No one likes the idea of this check-up, but no one wants the results of not checking. This year, as with many checks in the past, Dr Willy provided a clean bill of health. Good for a few more years. The staff is great and they're very process driven which lends itself to the comfort you'll be taken care of. I'm fortunate for a good result and hope everyone gets the check-up. Don
Janice K.
Great place! Dr. Khan was caring and made me feel very comfortable. She answered all my questions was able to help me. Highly Recommend!!
Pb K.
Very efficient staff who are willing to answer any question about the procedure you are about to undergo.
Brian S.
I have been going to Center for Digestive Health since 2006. In the past, I know there were MAJOR delays to get appointments setup and issues with the office. I was very nervous when my PCP said it was time for a colonoscopy as I was concerned how long it would take to get a call and get an appointment. I saw Dr. Bakken at my PCP's suggestion and my mom's suggestion. She is a current patient of Dr. Bakken as well. My sister also worked with Dr. Bakken and HIGHLY recommended her. I called and had a call back same day, had an appointment setup at a perfect date (within two weeks from my call). The turn-around I have seen in how appointments are setup and how soon you can get in is amazing. If you need a gastroenterologist, Dr. Bakken is the one to see!
Mark C.
Very efficient once I was taken back to the room for vitals and IV placement Front desk was not as friendly for sure Needs to be a little more pleasant People are all ready never up be cause of the colonoscopy

Other than it took 45 minutes after appointment time before I was taken back to preparation/recovery room, once that took place everything else was rather smooth, quick and professional! Thank you to everyone from the front desk to the back door, literally! 😆

Karen L.
Always grateful for the care and concern by staff, nurses, nurse anesthetists and Dr. Nandi. I have been a patient for many years and the care has always been consistent. The center runs efficiently, but not hurried, from start to finish. You never doubt you are receiving quality care. Receiving a call the day after a procedure is always comforting in case you may have a simple question/concern that you might otherwise not address.
michael R.
I am having moderate gut issues. I made an appointment with Karen. I followed the information Karen shared with me on how to improve my gut health. I followed Karen’s instructions and I am improving.

Cindy W.
Recently underwent a fourth procedure here at the Center with Dr. Nandi. The entire staff is professional, caring and skilled in their work and patient concerns. Dr. Nandi is skilled and caring and takes time to listen to his patients. The staff works well together which helps put the patient at ease.
Geraldine K.
Dr Bakker was very attentive. She listened to me and was very gentle with her examination. She made me feel very relaxed.
