Dr. Jessie Chen, a board-certified urologist who’s fellowship trained in urology, brings expertise and compassion to every consultation and treatment. She wants to help her patients regain their confidence and live more comfortably, especially when it comes to sensitive and sometimes overlooked issues like urinary dysfunction and pelvic prolapse.
“I like the quality-of-life aspect of taking care of those issues,” Dr. Chen says. “They’re very private issues for most people, especially women. They might talk about it with friends of the same age, but it’s not something that people often feel comfortable bringing up with their doctors. I like being able to say, ‘Hey, this is something that is treatable and not something you need to just deal with.’”
Dr. Chen’s approach is all about listening — truly listening — to her patients. “So many of my patients think urinary problems are just a part of getting older,” she says. “It’s common, but it’s not normal, and that’s something I’m passionate about correcting.”
Whether it’s urinary incontinence or pelvic prolapse, Dr. Chen aims to offer solutions that help patients take back control of their lives. Beyond simply diagnosing and treating conditions, she wants her patients to be informed and involved in their treatment plans. “It’s not just about what I recommend but what they feel comfortable with,” she says.
Dr. Chen’s training and experience span several prestigious institutions. She completed her fellowship in female pelvic medicine, reconstructive surgery, and neurourology at UT Southwestern and her residency at Baylor College of Medicine, after earning her Doctor of Medicine at The Ohio State University. Her broad training in general urology, coupled with her specialized knowledge of pelvic health, allows her to treat a wide range of conditions, including chronic UTIs, interstitial cystitis, and kidney stones.
But for Dr. Chen, it’s not just about treating the body — it’s about improving her patients’ overall well-being. She finds it fulfilling when patients express gratitude for the care they’ve received. “It’s really rewarding when patients thank me for listening to their issues,” she says. “Sometimes, just making someone feel heard is the most important step. Many feel brushed off by others, so addressing their concerns is incredibly fulfilling.”
Outside of work, Dr. Chen leads a busy life with her husband and son. As a family, they like to visit all the local playgrounds and attend pop-up events. Dr. Chen also enjoys staying active, whether she’s gardening or practicing Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
