Dr. Charlotte King is a fictional character on the ABC television series Private Practice, the spin-off of Grey's Anatomy. She is portrayed by KaDee Strickland.[1]. Dr. King is a graduate of Yale Medical School and is the Chief of Staff at St. Ambrose Hospital in Santa Monica.

She has a sexual relationship with Dr. Cooper Freedman.

Generally, the character serves as somewhat of a foil to the other doctors at Oceanside Wellness, often impeding their progress in helping patients through somewhat unorthodox methods by applying and enforcing legal, medical and ethical implications. This abrasive nature has led the character to be referred to in some internet fan communities as "Hospicunt". More recent episodes have lessened the use of the character as a mere obstacle and the relationship with Cooper has somewhat humanized her.
