Capsule Endoscopy

We are pleased to work with you and provide the most effective means of establishing diagnoses for patients with unexplained small bowel disorders. If you are interested in knowing more about the procedure or have a patient who may benefit from this procedure please contact our office at (517) 332-1200 anytime between 8:30 am and 4:30 pm and we will be happy to assist you.

Capsule endoscopy overview

Simply requiring a 12-hour fast along with prescription colon prep prior to the procedure, the Capsule Endoscopy procedure begins when the patient swallows the capsule with a small amount of water.  Data and images are transmitted as the capsule passes through the digestive system and are received by the data recorder affixed to a belt worn by the patient.

After approximately eight hours, the patient returns the Data Recorder to our office for processing by a dedicated computer workstation.  The computer’s RAPID® Application Software enables us to view and analyze the resulting patient video report.

Clinical efficiency

This non-invasive diagnostic exam provides a substantially improved level of visual imaging for early detection and diagnosis of gastrointestinal tract disease. Over 120 peer reviewed journal articles have been published establishing capsule endoscopy as the gold standard for small bowel imaging.

Indications

This technology, cleared by the FDA for patients ages 10 and up, is intended for visualization of the small bowel mucosa as a tool in the detection of abnormalities of the small bowel.

Contraindications

Capsule Endoscopy is contraindicated for use under the following conditions:

  • In patients with known or suspected gastrointestinal obstruction, strictures, or fistulas based on the clinical picture or pre-procedure testing and profile.
  • In patients with cardiac pacemakers or other implanted electromedical devices.
  • In patients with swallowing disorders.

I’m grateful to have Dr Bologna for my care. He takes time to listen to me, doesn’t dismiss my symptoms like other doctors have in the past, and he doesn’t let me downplay the negative effect those symptoms have on my quality of life. He is kind and reassuring for what is usually very stressful discussions. I love the staff here as well, everyone from front desk personnel to prep nurses to recovery nurses to the anesthesiologist is super friendly and comforting, they process you quickly but without making you feel like cattle just getting herded around. I’ve recommended this place to family and friends when they need GI care and I’ll keep coming here as long as I can.

I went to the center of digestive health for a colonoscopy and Dr. Donat and his office staff and nurses were the best ! When I arrived the waiting room was packed .I had never been there before and feared a long wait . To my surprise in a few minutes they called my name to go back to pre op and the whole process from entering pre op to leaving home after my procedure was less than a hour !!’ I can not say enough on how well I was treated through my stay there !! I would highly recommend them !!

susan C.
Everyone was extremely polite and concerning. They all worked together to get their job done.
Cindy
Dr. Wille is a very caring, compassionate doctor! He looks you in the eye instead of typing on his computer while you talk, that is so important to me, it shows me that he is LISTENING to me and cares what I have to say. To get an appointment to see him in the office takes awhile, that's how popular he must be. I can see why. That is my only negative that I have encountered. He was timely once it was my appointment time to see him. I appreciated that since so many doctor's have you sit for awhile in the exam room waiting for the doctor to walk in. I would recommend Dr. Wille to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, caring, and compassionate gastroenterologist. Thank you Dr. Wille!
Veronica

FAQs

What happens during my first visit?
If you are a new patient, you can expect to have a complete physical exam. You will also be asked detailed questions about your current problems and your past medical history, your current medications, allergies, your family history and other pertinent medical information. If you are taking medications, please bring a completed medical history form with you to your appointment. Once the physician has reviewed your medical information and completed the physical examination, a plan of care will be developed. You may need to be seen again in the office, be referred back to your family physician for follow-up care, or require additional testing. If additional tests are needed, we will assist you in scheduling these tests.
What if I need to schedule an endoscopic procedure?

An endoscopic procedure allows the physician to visualize a part of your gastrointestinal tract with a special instrument called an endoscope. If your family physician has ordered testing, you will be contacted by telephone by one of our staff members. If a physician orders testing and you are in the office, the procedure can generally be scheduled during the course of your visit. You will be given a date, time, and location for the test, as well as written instructions telling you how to prepare for the test. If you have any questions about the procedure, please feel free to ask one of our staff members or the physician.

How do I get test results?

We ask that you wait 10 to 14 days before contacting us for results. Often results come from several different sources. This information needs to be compiled and reviewed by your physician before you can be appropriately advised. 

What insurances do you accept?

We accept payment from most insurance companies including Medicare, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Blue Care Network, Physicians Health Plan, Cofinity, Sparrow Professional Health Network, Medicaid, McLaren, Health Plus, and several others. Accepted insurances are subject to change at any time without notice.

If your insurance requires an authorization from your primary care physician, you may be asked to assist us in obtaining this authorization.

All patients are responsible for all copays and deductibles at the time of service.

If you have any questions regarding your benefits or insurance coverage, please contact our Billing Department at 248-844-9710.

What if I need to contact the doctor?

To contact your doctor during business hours please call our main number 248-844-9710. If you have an urgent need to speak with the doctor after hours, you will be rerouted to our after hours answering service, and your doctor will be paged. In the case of a medical emergency please proceed directly to the nearest hospital emergency room.
