As a young man, James Kelley had visions of becoming a professional guitar player, a pro athlete, or an award-winning craftsman creating things from wood. But his own harrowing health struggles pulled him toward a medical career. Once in med school, he was fortunate to stumble onto the field of urology.
It was a perfect fit providing a blend of a cutting-edge surgeries and a relationship-driven practice, allowing him to forge long-term relationships while improving the lives of his patients.
As a general urologist, Dr. Kelley treats a wide range of urology problems across all aspects of the field. “I treat male and female urinary issues, including benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men and urinary incontinence in women,” he said. “I’m fortunate to offer some of the latest technology to care for these problems, including multiple minimally invasive and state-of-the-art treatment options.”
At Texas Center for Urology Dr. Kelley offers advanced Aquablation for BPH, sacral neuromodulation, and Bulkamid for female incontinence, and so much more. “I encourage patients even if they’re just curious about available options to come by and consult with me,” he said. “We can often find solutions they didn’t know were possible—solutions that weren’t available until recently.”
Patients praise Dr. Kelley for the time he spends really listening to them then patiently outlining their treatment options. “I never want someone to leave an appointment with me with unanswered questions,” he said. “Every patient is unique, and their condition, lifestyle, and medical preferences are unique. I want each patient to understand what I’m recommending and why. We never move forward until they’re comfortable with my recommendations.”
Dr. Kelley never wants a patient of his to feel like “just a number”. “I want to be my patient’s advocate and take the time to guide them toward the best treatment options possible to fit their goals and needs,” he said. “They’re in the driver’s seat when it comes to decisions about their care.”

Dr. Kelley’s goal every day is to make his wife and three daughters proud. “My wife, Rebecca, has been by my side since before medical school,” he said. “We’ve been blessed to build an amazing life in this incredible community with our three beautiful, sassy girls.”
The family loves exploring DFW, especially new restaurants, outdoor patio spaces, and local parks. “We’re foodies and love trying new, date-night dinner spots,” he said.
Dr. Kelley volunteers with UNT Health Science Center Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine as a urology specialty advisor and welcomes undergraduate and medical students to shadow him at his practice. The Kelley’s are members of Creekwood Church in Mansfield.
“I treat every patient like a member of my family,” he said. “They can rest assured any time we’re discussing treatment options I’m presenting the options I’d want for my own family and friends.”
