st: Merging observations based on plus-minus quantity

Dear Statalisters:
I have a panel data (panel_1) with information on patients
corresponding to medical visits (physician-patient encounter).
I also have data (panel_2) with information on lab and procedures from
these patients, but with dates that do not match with medical visit
dates.
I would like to merge observaciones from panel_2 into panel_1 only if
the dates are within (± 30 days) of the medical visit dates.
I would appreciate any help on this issue,
Eduardo
