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.

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!

After completing a great deal of research, I chose Dr. Deborah Pan at Esana Plastic Surgery Center to perform brachioplasty and reduction mammapasty surgery. Dr. Pan came highly recommended by several residents and surgical friends. Breast reduction was a surgery I had contemplated having done for 20 years. My only regret was not doing it sooner. Dr. Pan was amazing from the time of my initial consult (which was done virtually during Covid) to my final post-surgical appointment. Dr. Pan is absolutely lovely. She always made me feel comfortable during our visits. Her knowledge, expertise and patient care are unsurpassed. I could not recommend a more skilled physician with the utmost attention to detail. Thank You Dr. Pan!
