Dr Dana Pan is amazing! I suffer from a mess of gastrointestinal issues which kind of go along with a genetic problem that I have. He was so knowledgeable about all of my conditions. I generally have to teach doctors about just my cyclic vomiting syndrome yet Dr. Pan is the first doctor to teach me Something. I didn’t already know! He is a whole body type doctor. Unlike many doctors who will just stick to certain narratives, Dr Dana Pan uses a combination of eastern and western medicine but also extremely knowledgeable about Neurology and so much other things.

Dr. Penn is absolutely astounding! A total wealth of knowledge, I have referred several patients to him. Patients like myself with rare illnesses that he is very aware of. He truly cares for the patients and thinks the same way I do as far as avoiding unnecessarily invasive procedures. He was able to give me quality of life.

Exceptional. I made my appointment with him because I was looking for a professional with very good patient reviews and a high level of professionalism on Healthgrade. I liked his attentiveness and that he took the time to ask precise questions and I was able to explain my problem in detail, while he listened attentively. Instead of imposing steps, he offered me options. An excellent combination of professional and compassionate care, where the patient feels like both are working together to resolve the health problem. His staff is very kind, professional, and helpful. They respected the appointment time, which is unusual in most doctor's offices. I would give him six stars if that were possible.

Dr. Pan is one of the best physician’s I have ever gone to and will always be so grateful that he was the GI specialist that was called in to consult when I was hospitalized a little over 2 years ago. Dr Pan’s caring demeanor and willingness to always take the time to listen and find solutions is so comforting.

Having reach a ripe old age, it was time for me to get my first colonoscopy. Dr. Pan was professional and efficient. The entire procedure was painless and lasted only about 25 minutes. The worst part of the entire procedure was the 5 days of low-fiber diet and the 24 hours of liquid cleansing prior to the procedure. On the plus side, I now have beautiful color photos of my ascending colon and my rectum for my family album.

My dad has pneumonia and needs a feeding tube. He is 90 years old and very ill that he can’t do operations under general anesthesia. So the operation has to be done with local anesthesia only. The operation was not easy for both my dad and Dr. Pan. After the operation, my dad’s oxygen level was low and Dr. Pan stayed to monitor him till he improved to a stable condition. He comes to see my dad the next day again to see how he is doing. I strongly recommend Dr. Pan and it’s grateful to have him do the operation for my dad.

I first saw Dr Pan almost 2 years ago and he is still hands down the best Doctor I have seen. Most places just hand you prescriptions and tell you to come back in a few months, but doctor Dana Pan sits down with you and walks you through everything from diagnosis to treatment. It really makes you feel good about going to the doctor. I often recommend him to friends and family because I have had such a good experience.
