Dr Pan is amazing she makes you feel comfortable and she is compassionate. She is extremely attentive and easy to talk and I felt comfortable asking her questions. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to have any surgery. Her and her staff call and check in on you after surgery and are only a phone call or text message away if you have any issues or concerns.

The team at Esana is incredible! Dr. Pan is compassionate, professional, knowledgeable and makes you feel totally at ease. She also does beautiful work and is an incredibly skilled surgeon. I felt comfortable with her from the first day and always felt like I could ask questions, whether it was on the phone or in the office. And the estheticians are all just as wonderful! I can’t imagine going anywhere else!

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.
