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.

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!

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.

From the scheduling, right through my post operative appointments, Dr. Pan and her staff are excellent! Nurse Jessica is awesome! She gave me excellent tips to help along with my tummy tuck recovery. Dr. Pan, as always, just remarkable. Her calm demeaner relaxed me, I have an adorable new belly button and my surgical scar is thin and already flattened after 9 weeks. I highly recommend Esana!
