Meet Dr. Charis

Welcome! I'm a family physician and aesthetic doctor who believes that health is more than the mere absence of disease. I'm inspired to help you thrive and achieve optimal health and wellbeing, so that you can live life to the fullest!

My Journey

Graduate Diploma of Family Medicine (NUS)

Graduate Diploma in Mental Health (NUS)

Further education in integrative and functional medicine with the Australasian College of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine (ACNEM), and the Australasian Academy of Anti-Ageing Medicine (A5M).

“When a disease has already broken out and is only then treated, would that not be just as late as to wait for thirst before digging a well, or to wait to go into battle before casting weapons?” ~ 黄帝内经 (The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Medicine)

I have been interested in health and wellness since young. My family will recall seeing me standing up or doing exercises while studying - before standing desks were a thing! I pored over books and magazines on health and fitness, and was one of those kids who requested for more vegetables.

It was natural for me to pursue a career in medicine, hoping to make a difference in improving people's health, but along with the job came weight gain, skin troubles, feeling run down and dependent on caffeine. It was then that I delved deep into studying and applying functional medicine principles, and healing physically and mentally. I continue to learn more in this rapidly growing field in order to incorporate the latest knowledge into treatment plans. 

 

As a trained aesthetic doctor, I also strive to help patients look and feel good at any age. I have a special interest in acne and eczema, having a personal history and through helping many patients who suffer from these conditions.

"To insure good health: Eat lightly, breathe deeply, live moderately, cultivate cheerfulness, and maintain an interest in life." ~ William Londen
