Amazing doctor that listens very well. I went to her for one issue which turned out to be something that resolved itself, but she listened so well that she helped me fix a problem I wasn't even there for. My primary had told me I had acid reflux a couple years prior but Dr Bakken asked about my symptoms she said that didn't sound right and wanted to confirm it with a scope. Scope showed no ulcers or abnormal findings and she instructed me to get tested for food allergies. I do that, tested positive for intolerance to a quite a few things, cut those things out for a few months, and I felt like a new person! I could not believe that for years I didn't have a clue what "normal" felt like. Only bummer is that she is booked far out for appointments, but that shows that she is good and people trust her.

Dr. Bakken has been my GI doctor since I started having colonoscopies in my 50's and now that I'm in my later 70's I just had my final procedure with Dr. Bakken today. Her friendly, caring and professional demeanor has never changed over the years which I have always appreciated. With that said, I want to thank Dr. Bakken and the staff at Troy Gastroenterology for their outstanding work in making this procedure a more tolerable one.
Response from the owner:We are so glad you had a great experience, thank you for leaving us with your kind words. They are much appreciated.

My name is Dr. Bakken. I’m a gastroenterologist here at the Center for Digestive Health. I became a physician because I found medicine to be really fascinating. Both my parents are physicians and I grew up surrounded by other doctors. I’ve got a brother and sister who are physicians as well and I always thought it was a fascinating field to spend my life involved in. I have a son in college right now and two wonderful daughters. Besides my work my family is my life.

I chose gastroenterology because it involves the entire digestive system, the pancreas, the liver. I love the research in gastroenterology. I got a masters in clinical research so we could help patients identify new ways to treat gastrointestinal disorders. Gastroenterology is not just about physical symptoms, the mind, body and spirit working in harmony are essential for healthy living and I recommend to patients that we address those different areas. And there’s nothing more rewarding than having a patient leave feeling satisfied that I heard them, I’m going to be able to help them, and then having them come back and letting me know that they’re feeling better.

As a female gastroenterologist I see a lot of female patients. We have a connection that sometimes is different from male physicians and if you have any concerns, any gastrointestinal issues, I’d be happy to see you. I look forward to meeting you and you can see me or any one of my colleagues at the Center for Digestive Health.
