The Waverley Center is a very efficient and professional surgery center. I felt safe there and taken care of properly.

My video chat went well. My visit was schedule with Dr. Nguyen at 5:30 pm. He was prompt and prepared.

Solid, comfortable, and efficient place with great staff. Just be sure you call ahead to verify the COVID policy for adult escorts and whether they can wait inside; the website was out of date on that point when I went.

I am 69 years old and recently had a colonoscopy at Waverley Surgery Center. Anybody who has prepped a colonoscopy knows you are not feeling really terrific before the procedure. From the minute I was met at the elevator to the time I left after the procedure, I must have interacted with about 10 people. Every person treated me with respect, kindness, consideration, and were engaged in providing comfort, meeting my needs, and informing me of each step to be taken before and after procedure. I knew I was in the best hands. I highly recommend them. This was my third colonoscopy at Waverley and the experience was same quality each time.
