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!

I went to Esana to meet with Dr. Pan after we had an online consultation. I researched many plastic surgeons in CT/NY prior. She went over all of my options that would be best for me. I followed her suggestions for my body type and the look I was trying to achieve. She made me feel 100% confident she was the surgeon for me. I am only about a week out and the whole process and recovery has been amazing. Everyone is different recovery wise, but I have to say I feel amazing already and I’m loving the results I’m seeing. Alyssa her PA is also amazing caring and attentive. Susan in the office was very responsive anytime I had questions. The whole team has made this process so easy. I would recommend Dr. Pan and her team to anyone. She it truly talented and has the best team working with her.

I have been wanting a breast augmentation since i was 23. I was always barely a cup and very self-conscious of my chest. I knew a couple people that went to Dr. Pan and their results were amazing so i decided to book with her! The entire process was seamless, and recovery has been amazing! I am 5 ‘8 155lbs and ended up going with 350cc and 325cc. I am very muscular and do CrossFit. Now I do love my boobs however I’m feeling like they are too small for my frame. I know i am only 4 weeks post op but feeling like the size is off. Photos uploaded

I have been visiting Esana plastic surgery center for over five years and my experience has always been very positive. The front desk personnel are welcoming and friendly. Dr. Pan is an excellent doctor. As a patient I have always left feeling more than satisfied with any aesthetic procedure I received from Dr. Pan. She’s also my go to for every new aesthetic device that comes in the market. The Eon Laser for instance. Thank you, team Esana!

Dr. Pan is an exceptional plastic surgeon! I appreciate her professionalism and honesty. I had a tummy tuck with muscle repair. I’ll let her work speak for itself. I had a whole piece typed up and accidentally closed it without posting it! If you have any questions, please reach out and I will answer them to the best of my ability according to my experience alone. She is very kind, understanding, and very realistic. She gives you the options and formula to get what you want, how you prepare, and mix the ingredients is all up to you. She will not sell you services for personal or financial gain. Pain management is key, but bearable without prescriptions after the first few days. Definitely not needed during week two. I underestimated the recovery process. It is a long recovery, but with a fantastic support system I did amazing. I am happy with my decision.

I have been a patient at Esana plastic surgery for a couple of years now. Every visit of mine has been the best I could hope for. Dr. Pan is absolutely amazing. All the treatments I have had have delivered the results I hoped for. In addition, it’s always a pleasure to be greeted so nicely by the front office reception. They always make me feel so welcome. The office, the doctors, support staff and nurses are just amazing, and I recommend this place to anybody who is reading my review.
