I have hereditary dark circles under my eyes, but as I’ve gotten older, they’re getting much more pronounced. I haven’t always had the hollows, but they’ve seemed to come with aging too. I’ve had doctors assume I had allergies (which can cause dark circles), kids ask why it’s so dark under my eyes, people think I’m tired… all of it. After looking up dermal fillers on Real Self, it seemed worth a shot!

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.

My experience with Dr. Pan (initial consultation and Ultherapy treatment) has been exceptional. She has a wonderful demeanor, answered all questions I had, and addressed all my concerns. I felt very much at ease with her, and nothing was rushed. I was very anxious over what to expect with the Ultherapy, and have to say that I was pleasantly surprised (and relieved) that the procedure was very tolerable, and I’m looking forward to seeing the results as they start to develop within a few months. I would certainly recommend Dr. Pan to anyone who is considering making improvements with their appearance!

If you are looking for a professional, modern, relaxing and beautiful spa, Esana is the place to go! I have had nothing but excellent experiences here. Dr. Pan, Alyssa PA and all of the employees are extremely welcoming, friendly and helpful. One of my family members recommended Dr. Pan and she did nothing but amazing! I would recommend this place to everyone! If i was able to rate 20 stars i would, the experience and vibes are unmatched.

Dr Pan and her staff were absolutely amazing. I had a breast lift and augmentation after 4 children breastfeeding and weight loss. I had It done during covid. I was unable to have any support with me, but Dr Pan’s nurse and staff really helped to ease any anxiety and they explained everything. Great bed side manner but also very skilled. A year and a half later they actually look natural. No regrets and I would absolutely see Dr Pan for any future procedures.

From the scheduling, right through my post operative appointments, Dr. Pan and her staff are excellent! Nurse Jessica is awesome! She gave me excellent tips to help along with my tummy tuck recovery. Dr. Pan, as always, just remarkable. Her calm demeaner relaxed me, I have an adorable new belly button and my surgical scar is thin and already flattened after 9 weeks. I highly recommend Esana!

Dr. Pan is professional, intelligent, and compassionate with excellent bedside manner. She was very honest and encouraging with my surgical concerns. I’m extremely happy with my results! I was able to breastfeed 15 months after my surgery, and my breasts returned to their post-surgical size when I stopped breastfeeding. I’m also pleased with the shape, size and density of my breast thanks to Dr. Pan.
