About My Practice
"Patients have commented on how well I listen. I think that's very important in customizing treatment for each individual patient. I find it satisfying to help people optimize their appearance, because when people look better it makes them feel better and therefore enhances their self-esteem and self-confidence."

The Dermatology and Clinical Skin Care Center and Rockledge Med Spa are each a full service practice, with board-certified dermatologists, plastic surgeon, esthetician and Medi-spa services all integrated to provide the most comprehensive care available.

Roberta F. Palestine, M.D. is the founder and director of the Dermatology & Clinical Skin Care Center and has been in practice since 1982. Dr. Palestine is a board certified dermatologist. She received her undergraduate degree from Cornell University, her medical degree with honors from the University of Rochester, and she attended the world-famous Mayo Clinic for her residency in dermatology.

At Mayo, she received the coveted Paul A. O’Leary Award in recognition of excellence in patient care. “Patients have commented on how well I listen.
