Meet Ronnie and Deanne
If balancing it all is something you struggle with much like we do, Dermatologists and new business partners, Deanne Robinson and Ronnie Klein are two amazing moms to watch! With 8 kids among them, these two powerhouse mommas are launching their own practice (a lifelong dream!) – Modern Dermatology – right here in Westport this summer and their own skin care line Pure BioDerm. They both find the age of 3 the toughest as kids are figuring out that balance between toddler and big kids, value honesty in friends first and foremost, and love Bar Taco. In another life, Deanne would try out for the Rockettes and Ronnie would be a tour guide; she can’t wait to take her kids to Africa when they’re old enough! These two moms admit the balance isn’t easy, but take pride in not losing any kids yet! As moms, skin care feels more important than ever; we are lucky to have these moms here to look out for us, and can’t wait to visit Modern Dermatology in the coming weeks!
