Flat Feet Problem

[Kellystarry]

wow, i learnt so much about flat feet after reading this. I think my niece is suffering the same issue. Will inform my sis about this:)

Wow, this doc seems good! And the price is ok too. I have bought my daughter to a different podiatry in tanglin. She is ok (maybe a little $$ hungry) but price is much more expensive! Last visit paid $580 for insoles… Are they the same as dr Jessica ones? Maybe I will check and see if her ones are the same. If they are… My goodness, how can be such a big price difference??

Hi MMM, Do you have Dr Jesscia's website or contact?


Anyway, I had asked around among my relatives. Their children have visited this clinic or shop at SGH. Their rate are comparable to Dr Jessica's. Quality wise, pretty good (according to my cousin) and the best thing is, their children no longer complain after wearing them.

I want to compare these two before bringing my kids down.

I brought my son to Dr Jessica last Nov to assess his flat feet. He always seem to be a bit clumsy - falling down or sprain his legs all the time. I thought it is because of his flat feet but Dr Jessica said he had high arched feet instead. She explained her diagnosis and recommended leg exercises to strengthen the muscles in his feet, as well as making a special insole for him. Though the insole is costly but it is worth it. The insole is based on a mould she made of my son's feet so that it has the right support at the arch. Now my son doesn't complain of pain and his posture has also improved. Most important of all, he doesn't fall down anymore.
Personally, I find Dr Jessica to be a very nice, soft spoken lady and very professional too.

Sounds good… do you have her address to her shop?


I have checked with my relatives and seems like majority of the kids had went there to have their foot assessed and had their pairs of insoles (if they need).

Shall update here soon after my visit, be it to dr Jessica’s or the SGH’s.

Dr. Jessica is at Orchard Clinic, Tong Building #06-03. 68844123.

If you drive, you will have to park at Paragon, Taka or Lucky Plaza, there is no public parking at Tong Building.

She is a Caucasian, very pleasant and professional. A lot of her patients are school kids.

Hi I've brought my ds to see her too for his flat feet. He's wearing the custom-made insoles for more than a month now & ds says he doesn't feel pain in his legs anymore when he runs.


Dr Jessica is a very nice lady indeed from NZ, very willing to listen & in no hurry. Also, she will only recommend what is good for you & will not push a product if she isn't sure it's going to work out. Ds likes her & feels very comfortable talking to her.

I must thank you fongjin for sharing her contact here. It's hard to find a good, professional doctor who listens & willing to spend time with patients to understand their actual problems.

Do remember to bring the Toy r us card for free consultation for children.

My girl actually looking forward to see her

Suspected flat foot, but turned out to be short hamstring and tilted pelvis. Currently she is undergoing weekly physio with Dr. Jessica.
