On Saturday I will be flying to Payson AZ from KCHD, this is my first
time in the area and was wondering if there are any local procedures
for landing at KPAN. Some guy at KCHD told me today that he got
yelled at recently for over-flying KPAN mid field 1000 over TPA
before descending into the 45 for the downwind

Not sure who would have "yelled", or for what. You're approaching from
the south, just make sure you're at least 1000 AGL over town. It's a
right pattern for 24 and left for 6 keeping you north of the runway
and away from town.

We overfly midfield and enter downwind directly. I've only flown in
twice, but never had any issues doing that.

Yes, this is correct. I've been there many times. They moved the pattern to
the north side of the runway a few years ago. You can overfly mid-field, or
come in from west of the field and enter the downwind directly. Runway 24
is normally the runway in use, unless the winds are significant out of the
east.
