Dr. Yu Pan

"My greatest joy, as an orthodontist, is seeing a patient’s excitement when their new smile is unveiled. Their self-confidence, the way in which they interact with others, and the beauty of their smile, are my greatest rewards. I believe orthodontic care is the best gift a person can give themselves or their child. I would love to help you attain a beautiful, confident smile, one which will change your life."  Dr. Yu Pan

Away from Work

I grew up about 6,000 miles from here, in Beijing, China. It was education that brought me to the States. It was love of this country that made me stay. Out of the places I have lived in, twin cities are the ones I chose to have a family in.

I live in Edina with my husband and our five-year old daughter, Cindy. Adopted from the warm part of China, Cindy became a true penguin when she came to Minnesota. She is never cold!

When I am not caring for my patients, I love traveling globally and locally. We enjoy visiting the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, taking a stroll along Summit Avenue and Lake Calhoun and going to the zoos. I also enjoy silly dancing and singing with my daughter.
