Bethesda Magazine Votes Dr. Roberta Palestine
“Best of Bethesda 2009”
Dr. Roberta Palestine’s (6410 Rockledge Drive, Suite 201, Bethesda, 301-530-8300, www.dermskin.com) patients say they go to her because of her Mayo Clinic training (she holds a medical degree from the University of Rochester) and 26 years of experience. But they become loyal fans because of her personal attention and wonderful bedside manner. “I am a dermatologist’s dream,” says Chevy Chase resident Kendall Wheeler, who is 63 and fair with freckles, several skin conditions and multiple allergies. “Dr. Palestine is fabulous and has unbelievable follow-through.” After a recent procedure, she says, Palestine unlocked her office on both Saturday and Sunday just to meet with Wheeler and check up on her. “How many doctors do that?” Wheeler asks. Palestine says it’s just who she is—she’s careful to treat the whole patient, even when they come to her for simple cosmetic procedures. “I always make sure my patients get a regular total skin exam,” she says. “We never neglect the medical part.”
