Directions
From 101: exit at Embarcadero/Oregon Expressway and carefully follow signs for Oregon Expressway (west). Oregon Expressway becomes Page Mill Road after 1.8 miles; continue for another 1.4 miles on Page Mill Road. Turn left on Porter Drive (traffic signal). Turn in the third driveway on the right. Follow the driveway directly past the first building you see on your left; you will see Stiefel straight ahead (Building 3160). From 280: exit on Page Mill Road north towards Palo Alto (toward the bay) for approximately 1.4 miles. Turn right on Porter Drive (traffic signal). Continue as above. Please note that the building signs now say Stiefel, rather than Connetics.
