Dale Bartolome, MD, is a board-certified physician with a passion for helping men and women of all ages look and feel their best. She’s so committed to making her patients happy, in fact, that her mantra at About Face Kailua in Kailua, Hawaii, is that “you never leave our office without a hug.”

A Hawaiian native, Dr. Dale is proud to have spent almost her entire education on the island of Oahu, where she grew up. Once she realized that medicine was her calling, Dr. Dale enrolled in the prestigious John A Burns School of Medicine, in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Upon graduation, Dr. Dale left her native state to complete her internship and residency in St. Louis, Missouri, before making a move to Washington state for a pediatrics job at Kaiser Permanente.

Dr. Dale loves working with children, so it came as no surprise when she continued this work for more than 30 years before returning to Hawaii to care for her aging mother.

Today, Dr. Dale has a new passion: aesthetics. Since moving back to Hawaii and launching About Face Kailua, she has given men and women a restored sense of confidence and well-being, with cosmetic treatments that include laser therapy, skin rejuvenation, body contouring, and dermal fillers.

She is focused on creating individualized skin care treatment plans for each on of her patients, taking their complexion, desired outcomes, and budget into consideration during every appointment.
