What Our Patients Are Saying

So impressed with Dr. Pan and her staff. After skin cancer surgery on my left cheek, I had continuing pain in my upper rear teeth. Dr. Pan did a thorough exam & x-ray. She correctly diagnosed that that the surgeon had most likely hit a facial nerve when injecting anesthetic in my cheek. She explained how the nerves converge in that area. She also assured me that my pain would probably disappear in a few weeks, which it did. I appreciate that careful diagnosis and assurance. I continue to be impressed with her care, skill, and emphasis on preventive dental care
My friends and I also appreciate the skill of Jackson, the dental hygienist. He also is skilled and takes the time to explain and demonstrate, when needed, how to best care for our teeth. I highly recommend Dr. Pan and her staff.

Dr Pan is great. Very clean, professional office and staff. They are honest about the care you need, and I don’t feel like they are trying to push unnecessary service. Totally recommend Dr. Pan.

Cheerful, friendly and helpful staff. Hygienist, Rose, was thorough and knowledgeable. Dr Pan was a delight and had so much helpful info to share; even drew pictures to help illustrate what she was explaining. It was my first visit but I felt comfortable and in good hands right away. Will recommend this office to my adult daughter as well.
