My husband and I are happy to have Dr. Harvey Young as our GI doctor, he is nice and professional. His nurse, entire team and all the staff in Waverley Surgery Center are kind, timely and knowledgeable. I had very good experience there.

Nestled on a residential downtown street, Waverley Surgery Center is a wonderful, hidden gem of a facility in beautiful Palo Alto! Everyone is kind, caring, patient and efficient. You can tell that the front desk staff as well as the nurses and physicians assistants are happy doing what they do and that they are working in an environment they enjoy as much as their patients do. I had a series of procedures and they all remembered me and greeted me warmly each time. My doctor, Walter Lech, is superb. Even though he is booked solid and extremely busy you always have his undivided attention and he never makes you feel rushed. He's funny, charismatic, down to earth, and highly skilled. I highly recommend everything about having a procedure done at Waverley Surgery Center.
