What our patients have to say:

Vanessa A.
Dr. Partha Nandi has a very nice office. He and his staff were very friendly, polite, and professional. I had a positive experience. I highly recommend Macomb Endoscopy Center!
Kathy R.
From the moment I walked in the door, everyone was so pleasant & friendly. I knew again that I was in the right place for testing & future treatments. Dr. Richard Willie & his procedure staff is very kind & pleasant as well. I would highly recommend him for any gastrointestinal needs anyone has! Another event end of year 2025 that sent me to the ER & needed a follow up with Dr Wille. I again highly recommend Dr Wille. He cares, he's patient & thorough. I cannot express enough how wonderful Reneshia (nurse in scheduling) was. This event was extremely difficult for me & she calmed & reassured me all would be well. Thank you for having her in your practice!
Patricia M.
When arriving i was immediately greeted by friendly registration person. I was called back within 5 minutes. Everyone was so friendly and professional. I felt comfortable and relaxed through each step of the procedure. Prep the days before not comfortable but expected that. I was do relieved to have people around me that were nice, not rushing me and happy to say i was on my way home about 90 minutes after arriving. Would absolutely highly recommend this place. Dr. Toco came and went over report. Recommend him if you need referral.

Nancy Keller M.
Dr. Weber is a caring and compassionate practitioner who always takes the time to listen to my concerns and answer all of my questions.
Joe C.
A very professional group of people. I honestly believe that at their facility patients do come first.
Tina B.
Dr Webber is absolutely the kindest Dr I've ever been a patient of. I can imagine that the medical profession is very demanding and I've been in offices where the Dr's have been short and barely stay in the room 2 minutes and I'm left with more questions than I walked in with but not with Dr Webber, I was the last appointment of the day and I'm sure he was ready for his day to be over but he stayed in there and answered every question that I had and was so kind and caring. I highly recommend Dr Weber and his staff which were also completely amazing. Thank you for showing that you actually care about your patients.
Angel C.
I had a positive experience at the Center for Digestive Health in Macomb, where the staff demonstrated exceptional care and compassion. Although the tests I underwent were quite stressful, the team explained each step thoroughly, making the process more manageable. The anesthesiologist was particularly reassuring before the procedure, and the doctor provided a detailed explanation of the results afterward. The welcoming nature of the team helped alleviate my concerns, and I highly recommend this center to anyone, especially those with anxiety about medical appointments.
Marcy D.
Very professional and attentive staff. Dr. Donat was compassionate and listened to all my concerns. His surgical team was efficient and well-organized.
Joanne M.
I really appreciate the ability to connect easily and quickly with Dr. Wille through his staff by text and phone messages. I find his staff to be professional and their assistance is very helpful. Dr. Wille is a great listener and answers my questions and concerns without making me feel uncomfortable which I appreciate. I know I am getting the best care. He really cares about his patients.
Robert T.
I’ve had several endoscopic exams with Dr Quallich and colonoscopies with Dr Donat here. I’m always pleased with their treatment and feel like they genuinely do their best to consider my health and safety. Also the exams are painless and I’m pretty alert after waking up with their exclusive use of propofol for anesthesia. Thanks again!
Christopher
The company is a “well oiled machine “. The entire process, from arrival to leaving after completion of the examination, was under three hours!
Denise H.
Center for Digestive Health is a perfect place to go if you have any type of digestive issue. They make you feel very comfortable talking about any issue you may be experiencing and they ask all the appropriate questions all the while putting you at ease. When I called I was worried about something and they worked to get me right in. I saw the PA Noelle and she is just wonderful. Everyone at the desk and beyond are very welcoming and helpful. Dr. Weber has been my doctor there for years and I trust him explicitly. His assistant Debbie always helps me out and listens to me and is always very kind. The office is warm, clean and inviting. There are a few locations and so that makes it very nice. All in all I’m very impressed with this group of Doctors, Nurses and Assistants.
Christina H.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Donat and his entire staff, especially Sarah R., medical assistant. From the moment you walk into the office, you are treated with kindness, professionalism, and genuine compassion. Dr. Donat takes the time to truly listen to his patients, explain everything thoroughly, and make you feel comfortable and cared for. It’s rare to find a physician who combines such extensive knowledge with such an amazing bedside manner. The office runs efficiently and communication is excellent and prompt. Sarah R. deserves special recognition for her thorough patient care, attention to detail, and warm personality. She consistently goes above and beyond to help patients. Her dedication to her role does not go unnoticed. If you are looking for exceptional gastroenterology care or IV infusion services, I highly recommend Dr. Donat and his team. Five-star care from truly exceptional healthcare professionals!
Mark P.
All of the Staff and the Doctor working at the office were very nice. The doctor understood my concern about My Bi Polar meds because of the reaction I had during my recent heart bypass surgery and the time it took to get back to normal again. The doctor came up with several solutions to my fear of having to get the Anastasia while taking my Bi polar meds and suggested a few other solutions to the the Anastasia. The doctor was great in understanding of my fear of going under Anastasia.
Mia D.
I Really feel a deep sense of peace and trust in Dr Richard Willie. He knows first of all how to interact with his patients, listens carefully to them, and makes them feel important. Have been going to him at least 15 years, if not more. He is an astute observer, a fine doctor with honed in skills of lab interpretation, biopsy results, and well experienced in advising what’s best for the patients outcome. I couldn’t be in better hand with Dr Wille. I’m very fortunate to have him in my corner as a doctor who has both the training and wisdom to give me the best care now and for the future!
Marie S.
Dr. Nandi is an excellent physician, he cares about patients and provides them with the best healthcare! He has made a huge difference in diagnosing and treatment for acid reflux. My day to day life has improved.
Sara A.
I had an excellent experience with Center for Digestive Health and Dr. Partha Nandi. Dr. Nandi took the time to truly listen, explained everything thoroughly, and answered my questions with patience and confidence. I never felt rushed. You can tell he genuinely cares about his patients and wants them to feel informed and comfortable. Our discussion left me feeling hopeful and confident in my care plan. I’m very grateful for the experience and highly recommend him and his team.
greg D.
I have been a patient of Dr Donat for over 15 years. He and his staff have been excellent
Charles N.
The worst part of this experience is the prep. Smiles and professionalism all around.
Steve C.
Saw Dr Bologne on a referral for 2nd opinion. Extremely pleased with that visit. He was 100% prepared and obviously read all the notes my doctor had provided. His diagnosis was much more thorough and thought-through than the 1st diagnosis I had received. Very glad I saw this practice and provider for a second opinion. Highly recommend.
Kathy R.
Dr. Wille has been my Gastro DR since I moved back to MI in 2018. I have a lot of issues & he has addressed & treated all of them to my satisfaction & expectations & beyond. He listens, he makes good eye contact & shows he cares. In my opinion he is a exceptional Dr & I would highly recommend him to anyone! All of his office staff are very polite & caring & patient!
Wanda W.
Top notch service for out patient testing!
Steve N.
My colonoscopy was quick and painless. The staff at the center was friendly and very professional.
Jaden D.
I have had really bad experiences with Gastroenterologists in the past due to my history with bulimia nervosa. I have complications from years of my illness, and have been turned down by Gastros in the past or them downplaying my symptoms. I was really anxious going into this appt with Dr. Richard Wille, however I had the best experience ever! He listened to me, didnt make me feel bad about my history, and developed a plan to figure out what's going on. I never make reviews, however, I am just so grateful to have found a doctor who actually cares and listens to their patients. I definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking for a gastroenterologist!
C R.
Got into appointment on time. Dr Weber is excellent and explains test results and next steps very well. I'm free to ask questions and Dr. Weber patiently listens to my concerns. I'm very happy with him and would highly recommend him.
Patricia H.
Everyone is kind, professional and competent. Very little wait time and good communication prior and after procedure. Dr Willie is wonderful!
Patrick W.
Very professional and thorough!

Dr Desai has been my gastroenterologist for nearly 25 years. He spends time, he is kind, he answers questions and again, he spends time when you need it. I never mind waiting for him when I have to because I know that he is doing for someone else what he does for me – he takes the time to talk to his patients and explain things. He is a five star – a 10 star – Dr. I am so fortunate that I am in his care. Dr. Tusar Desai is located in the Beaumont/Corewell Royal Oak medical office building at 13 Mile Rd. and Woodward Avenue
John V.
Blood Draw was quick & efficient once we got to it, so that's where the 5 Stars come from. However, I had to read through a 17 page Research Study document (which could have been sent in advance), then sign the paperwork in what appeared to be an examination room in one building, and then, strangely, had to walk across the parking lot drive to a second building for the blood draw....? Seemed like all could have been done in one building or the other. (The second building had a regular waiting room like any other doctor's office.)
N S.
Dr. Abadir was very nice and thorough. He cares about his patients and will do what is necessary to resolve your health issues. We have been to the Romeo plank office which was very clean.The only thing is when you are greeted they are nice and thorough but need to smile. 🙂
Fred M.
I'll make this brief. Full disclosure, I've known Dr. Partha Nandi for quite some time. I personally know of his commitment to treat his patients with care and courtesy. Plus, "HE'S THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS" !!! And the Troy Gastro staff is top notch !!!
Daniel T.
PA Jennifer was polite, professional and knowledgeable.
Michelle D.
Got called into patient room within 15 minutes. Was one of the first patients for colonoscopy. Procedure went smooth. Dr. Bakken reviewed results with my husband and I. Appointment was at 7:40 and was home about 10.
Cathie J.
Dr Willie and the staff were wonderful. They were very professional and compassionate. The office was very clean and friendly. They called after my procedure to check in and made me feel very comfortable. I would definitely recommend.
Bernie W.
Dr. Bologna reviewed my medical history and discussed my current situation. His care, compassion and willingness to do lab tests before any invasive procedures was refreshing. I have complete confidence in his ability to address my current issue.
