About

Dr. Pan is a transplant hepatologist specializing in the comprehensive management of liver disease, from initial diagnosis through post-transplant care. His clinical expertise encompasses cirrhosis, liver transplantation, liver cancer, steatotic liver disease (formerly fatty liver disease), autoimmune liver disorders, viral hepatitis, and alcohol-related liver disease. He earned his medical degree from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and completed his internal medicine residency at Scripps Clinic/Scripps Green Hospital, where he was selected as chief resident. During his gastroenterology fellowship at Brown University/Rhode Island Hospital, he also served as chief fellow. He subsequently completed a transplant hepatology and advanced liver disease fellowship at the University of Michigan. Dr. Pan is board certified in internal medicine, gastroenterology, and transplant hepatology.

His passion for liver disease began early, sparked by volunteer work providing hepatitis B outreach to local Chinese American communities during high school and medical school. As chief resident and chief fellow, he honed his teaching skills by leading morning reports, inpatient rounds, and medical student small group discussions. His clinical expertise and endoscopic proficiency earned him first place at the national 2019 EndoTitans endoscopy competition and finalist status at the 2019 GI Jeopardy competition. Additionally, he participated in the academic debate at the 2021 AASLD Liver Meeting, advocating for liver transplantation in patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. Dr. Pan has published extensively on topics such as hepatitis C, acute liver failure, drug-induced liver injury, primary sclerosing cholangitis, and liver transplantation.

Dr. Pan’s patient care philosophy centers on delivering comprehensive, compassionate, and individualized care. He emphasizes active listening and building strong, trust-based relationships rooted in empathy, respect, and open communication. He approaches each patient as a unique individual, considering their values, needs, and goals. By involving patients in shared decision-making and explaining treatment options clearly, he empowers them to make informed choices aligned with their life priorities. Dedicated to evidence-based practice and lifelong learning, Dr. Pan continually updates his knowledge to provide the highest quality care.
