As the first female plastic surgeon in New Haven, her practice and reputation quickly grew for her outstanding work in breast reconstruction as well as cosmetic surgery of the breast, body, and face.

While there, she performed repairs of cleft lips, burn traumas, and birth defects.
For her repeated medical missions, Dr. Pan was awarded the Philippine American Association of Connecticut Service Award “for her untiring and continued support to improve the quality of life of indigent Filipinos” in 2010.

I had the best experience at Esana. I went in after an implant of mine had popped and Dr. Pan made me feel so comfortable and at ease. They got me in right away and my surgery was so easy. My first time getting implants I was out of commission for 2 weeks. With Dr. Pan I was not even sore after 4 days! I highly recommend them and say that they not only are professional but caring!

Dr. Pan is the ultimate professional. She is caring, kind and a master at her craft. From the very first phone call to the office to her superior support staff at Yale for the surgery, I was reassured and supported 100%. Dr Pans surgical staff led by Jennifer at Yale were also truly incredible. I’ve been so very impressed and so very pleased that Dr. Pan is my surgeon.

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.
