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.

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!

5’4” and 135lbs from a 32A (maybe B) to a 34D to DD
At 38 years old…after 4 children…. Significant weight-loss and prior tummy tuck I finally decided to get my breasts done. I had Significant drooping and sagging (effects of weight loss and breastfeeding neither of which I regret). I went with the ideal implant because it made me feel safer that it was saline but had the more natural feel. I ended Up with 540cc along with a full lift. I was afraid of losing nipple sensation but honestly, I’m more sensitive even now a year later than ever. I will Say for those of you considering which to go with…. Larger sizes like this don’t seem to feel quite as natural and if that’s important to you…. You may want to lean toward a silicone option. Just my opinion.
Dr Pan and her staff were so warm helpful and patient. I did have a minor complication, but it was my body doing its thing and healing. I will only see them in the future I will never go elsewhere.

I would strongly recommend the team at Esana to take care of any if your plastic surgery needs. I had a complicated case. Nevertheless, Dr. Pan and her team provided excellent service and care. I was well informed and cared for at each step of the process, especially throughout my post operative care. My results were better than anticipated. My surgery provided the jump start I needed for overall health improvement. I’m grateful to have found Dr. Pan.

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.
