Dr Pan is amazing she makes you feel comfortable and she is compassionate. She is extremely attentive and easy to talk and I felt comfortable asking her questions. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to have any surgery. Her and her staff call and check in on you after surgery and are only a phone call or text message away if you have any issues or concerns.

Not only is Dr. Pan one of the best in the industry but so is her team of professionals. From the moment I met Dr. Pan, I was confident in her to deliver the exact results I was looking for. Dr. Pan has a calm and collected bed side manner that puts you at ease. Her team is sweet, friendly and always responsive. No arrogant attitudes when you walk in just smiles and good vibes. Shout out to Michelle, one of the surgical coordinators, for answering my endless questions and always being there whenever needed. I highly recommend Dr. Pan and Esana for all of your surgical and aesthetic needs!

My surgical experience was great, and I think Dr. Pan did a really good work. To be clear my recommendation is NOT a complaint but a suggestion.
I saw Dr. Pan in her office once and it was 5 months prior to my surgery. I’m very surprised leading up to the surgery there was no other conversations with Dr. Pan or the nurses. However, they did contact me for my lab works. Most information I received was on YouTube because I did not feel I had enough details on my surgery. There definitely should have been a meeting with Dr. Pan leading up to the surgery or her nurses.
In any case, I have no complaints about the staff, my encounter with them were always pleasant, especially after my surgery. Dr. Pan is a very talented surgeon. I think it’s the patient’s responsibility to be informed, but the office could have been a bit more involved in that educational process. I am extremely happy with my results. I would highly recommend them.
