Hi, I'm Charlotte! 👋
I'm a Senior Podiatrist at NTFGH, and I've been part of the JHC family for the past four years.
​
Working at JHC has been an incredibly rewarding journey. I've grown as a podiatrist through the guidance of my seniors and made many wonderful friends and colleagues. I'm grateful to be part of such a kind and supportive healthcare community.
I've always known I wanted a career in healthcare, and podiatry turned out to be the perfect fit because it's a hands-on and skills-based profession. I love that no two days are the same. Whether it's insole modification, performing wound debridement or treating ingrown toenails, it's always fulfilling to help patients get back on their feet and improve their quality of life through podiatry intervention.
Outside of work, I enjoy staying active at the gym or going for a run. I also lead the hospital’s Running Club, so feel free to say hi—or come join us every second Wednesday. Everyone is welcome!
Let's bust some common podiatry myths!
Myth #1: Flat feet always need to be treated.
Truth: Not all flat feet need treatment. While many people think feet fall into three categories—flat, neutral or high-arched—foot posture actually exists on a spectrum. Having flatter feet can be completely normal, especially among Asians and Pacific Islanders, while higher arches are more common in Western populations. Treatment is only required if your foot posture is contributing to pain or injury, and only after a proper assessment.
​
Fun fact: Olympic sprinter Usain Bolt has relatively flat feet—and he's still the fastest man in the world!
Myth #2: Everyone will develop plantar fasciitis at some point.
Truth: Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain, but not everyone will experience it. Studies suggest it affects around 1 in 10 people, with older adults, athletes and women being at higher risk. If heel pain persists, it's best to get it assessed early so that the right treatment can be started.
You ask, I'll answer!
