Jessie Y. Chen M.D.

Dr. Chen completed her Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience at the University of California, Los Angeles and her Medical Doctorate at The Ohio State University, College of Medicine. She then completed a general surgery internship and urology residency at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. After residency, she chose to further subspecialize by pursuing additional fellowship training in Female Pelvic Medicine, Reconstructive surgery, and Neurourology at UT Southwestern.

Dr. Chen is trained in all aspects of general urology and is experienced with minimally invasive surgical techniques including laparoscopic and robotic surgery. She has particular interest in treating urinary dysfunction in men and women as well as pelvic prolapse in women. Her goal is to actively listen to every patient in order to work together to develop a treatment plan tailored to the unique desires and goals of each individual. She believes in patient education and is a staunch advocate for shared decision making.

Dr. Chen practices at Texas Health Presbyterian Flower Mound. She also operates at Baylor Scott and White Surgical Hospital at Las Colinas. She grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area but now calls Texas, home. When not taking care of her patients, she enjoys spending time with her husband and son, working out, going to museums, and listening to podcasts.
