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!

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 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.

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.
