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 and her staff are wonderful!! She was the most welcoming doctor I’ve ever met!!! I was extremely nervous going into my breast augmentation procedure, but she told me exactly what she was going to do and listened to exactly what I wanted! I am beyond thrilled with my results, they look supernatural and beautiful – I’ve received so many compliments and the recovery process was very smooth! I can’t recommend this place enough!!! Thank you, Dr. Pan and the entire Esana staff!

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.

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.
