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.

I had seen Dr. Bakkem. Straight to the point and she answered all my questions and gave me suggestions to help with the problem that I was having. Dr. Bakkem did my procedure and told me her findings after the procedure was completed. Everyone was very professional and caring. I would recommend Dr. Bakkem to anyone. Everything turned out well. Thank you so much.

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!

My doctor was running behind but they alerted us right away. Each person I interacted with from the reception desk through the completed procedure was very nice. They all went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable. My doctor always try’s to lighten the stress with his humor and it does help. He is truly a great person and really cares about his patients. Highly recommend this center.

Dr Weber and his team are just amazing! I was treated with the upmost care from beginning to end by the front desk crew, to the Nurse Anesthetist, the pre-op and post-op Registered Nurses, and Dr Weber himself. I truly felt confident and at ease each step of the way. Can’t thank you all enough!
Doreen P.

Thomas J.
Extremely pleased.
Kathryn W.
I am VERY selective when it comes my health. I live in Port Huron and drive to CDH in Troy. All of the providers are exceptional. Specially, I'm a patient of Dr. Bakken and Colette NP. Both of them are extremely knowledgeable and caring. They're also very approachable and willing to take a much time for patient education, that is as important as the tests that are ordered. I have learned that an elevated lab result doesn't necessarily need to be super high to potentially lead to further health issues. I'm so grateful.
