EUS/Rectal EUS

An endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is an examination in which a flexible instrument is inserted via the mouth or the rectum to visualize the digestive tract.
An ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of the organs and structures inside the body such as liver, gallbladder, pancreas, stomach and rectum.

These detailed images are used in diagnosing and treating many common conditions inside the digestive tract. In addition, EUS is used for biopsy and tissue sampling of abnormal findings.

If you have any questions prior to the procedure, please feel free to discuss them with the nurse or your physician before the examination begins.

What to Expect

An endoscopic ultrasound is a way for doctors to examine your gastrointestinal tract. Most doctors will administer a sedative to help you relax. It is likely that you will be asked to lay on your left side. After the sedatives have taken effect, the endoscopist passes the ultrasound endoscope through either your mouth or anus.While most patients fall asleep during the procedure, a few consider it mildly uncomfortable. A lot of patients do not even remember it at all. The test should only last about an hour. The small ultrasound device produces sound waves that will create an image of the tissue in the GI tract. Once the images have been created, the endoscope is gradually removed.

I’ve had several colonoscopy and never had such a pleasant experience as here (made this procedure a lot easier to endure). This was my first visit here and the entire staff were very helpful and the rooms were so clean..individual room for prep and recovery.Dr. Willie was very kind and very pleasant . If I could give “10” stars I definitely would
Peter S.
Love this place. Dr Bologna is excellent and my whole family goes to him. Office staff is wonderful too… keep it up

My second time under the care of Gastroenterologist, Dr. Anezi Bakken and her staff, and my second experience, like my first 10 years ago, was extremely thorough and highly professional. I recommend this doctor and facility without hesitation.

One of the things I love most about Dr. Donat, is his kind and caring manner, he listens, asks questions and is mindful of the patients concerns. That's why I have been a patient with this office and this Dr. for over 15 years. The staff is kind and caring and does their best to work with patients.

Dr. Desai put me totally at ease, and I could only dream of being as friendly and efficient as the scheduling receptionist was.
Steve R.
Ran on time, professional, friendly, efficient, well run.
Denise K.
I changed to Dr Willy because I wasn't getting any progress from my previous Dr. Things aren't going any differently here. He wants to schedule more tests that I've already had on more than one occasion. I had 17 ERCPs in 3 years with my previous DR. and now he wants another. I did the colonoscopy and EUS 2 years ago with Dr Willey. He said to make sure he didn't miss anything. If he missed something I don't want him as my Dr.!
Jo S.
The staff at The Center for Digestive Health is very warm and welcoming; as well as pleasant, personable and professional. The office is bright and clean. Dr. Donat is an exceptional physician, carefully listening to you—his patient—and taking your concerns seriously. He answers your questions, and works to get to the bottom of your issues. I’ve been seeing Dr. Donat for years and he’s always provided helpful advice and successful treatments. My hat’s off to The Center for Digestive Health, its staff and Dr. Donat.

I was weighed and the taken to an exam room promptly where BP and temp were taken. Dr. Wille came in shortly after and I was on my way home 20 minutes after my appointment time. Dr. Wille explained test results, discussed my situation, and ordered additional testing, and did not rush me at all.
Lawrence W.
Excellent and carefully focused treatment
John D.
Information provided in advance was excellent and helpful. Follow up notifications were well done and appropriately timed. Staff was very helpful upon arrival and wait time was minimal. Upon entering prep room everything was explained and questions on medicine taken and background was efficiently asked and processed. Doctor Willie explained everything prior to treatment and afterwards. All nurses and assistances were polite, efficient and informative. For the first colon screening that scared me, it was a very positive experience and I am very grateful to the entire staff and doctors at the facility. Thank you, best wishes to all. John

George K.
I had a procedure this morning with Dr. Nandi at the Surgical Centers of Michigan located on Investment Drive. Dr. Nandi as always was the most professional and caring doctor that I have encountered.
But, what impressed me was the staff in the office. The TEAM (receptionist, the nurse who checked me and made me ready for the procedure, Anesthesiologist and nurse in the procedure room, the recovery room nurse, the PA who called me later in the day to check-up on me) showed me such care and compassion. It made me feel as if I was the most important patient that they would encounter.
It is obvious that these professionals love what they are doing. They love helping others. That made all the difference to me.
Thank you.
Johneric S.

But only if you want to feel better quickly!!!
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!
Rod P.
Dr willie is the best

Rick B.
7/8/25 I've had 10 colonoscopies in the last 25 years. This was my first visit with Dr Bologna. I read in some of his reviews about him returning a call late, not being compassionate enough, to some complaining about him wearing an Armani suit. Based on those complaints I still choose him based on his credentials.First,be glad your doctor has established his career enough to have earned the right to purchase what ever he wants. Would it make you fell better if your doctor wore shorts and a tank top?then there was a complaint about him being late on a phone call. Why should that be surprising? Ever been to a doctors vist when there on time? When I go too the doctors I educate myself in detail about my condition. When I ask questions and doctors see I actually know what I'm talking about they have always responded well. DR.Bologna and I spoke about my condition right before my procedure, we went over my past reports as well as photos, No small talk just strait business. His facility and staff were all very professional. They called in the afternoon to check on how I was doing. I would recommend him and his facility to any family members.
Jenny H.
Dr. Bologna was very professional with great bedside manners. All the staff was very friendly. I was treated with respect.

Dr. Wille and his NP’s are Top Notch with regards to taking care of my gastrointestinal issues. I’ll be honest, I did have a bad experience with another Dr in the group and will never see him again.
Regarding Dr. Wille, he was my father’s GI doc and helped him live some 20 years after his colon cancer. As for me, I’m in my early 60’s and Dr. Wille is well aware of my family history, taking great care of me and has a great bedside manner.
I met Nicolette this week for the 1st time and she was easy to talk to (even if it is/was a difficult conversation).
Robin R.
Dr Weber instills confidence and the office staff are very kind. The pre-op nurses had me laughing, which made me much less nervous before my colonoscopy. The scope was fast and painless. 5 stars for the whole procedure!!

Dr. Jack Tocco is truly exceptional!
From the moment I walked into his office, I felt heard, respected, and genuinely cared for. He took the time to listen to my complex medical history, asked thoughtful questions, and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. He never made me feel rushed or dismissed — instead, I felt like I had a true partner in my care.

His knowledge, professionalism, and kindness stood out immediately. I left the appointment feeling more confident and hopeful than I’ve felt in a long time. If you’re looking for a GI doctor who actually takes the time to understand YOU as a person and not just a list of symptoms, Dr. Tocco is the one. Highly, highly recommend!

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.
