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.

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.

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.
