LINDA CHEN, NP

BOARD CERTIFIED FAMILY MEDICINE OF NURSING PRACTICE

Providing Care in DUMBO, Brooklyn

Linda Chen is a board certified Family Nurse Practitioner with a unique and inspiring path in healthcare. She began her career as a clinical laboratory scientist, earning certification from the American Society of Clinical Pathology (ASCP BOC), where she gained expertise in everything from microbiology and chemistry to blood banking and phlebotomy. While she found the science fascinating, Linda realized she wanted to make a more personal impact on patients' lives, so she pursued her RN degree to transition into direct patient care.

Her passion for helping others blossomed during her volunteer work with the Cherokee Nation, where she worked with children on education, nutrition, and health. This experience sparked her deep interest in pediatrics, which was further fueled during her time in the emergency room, where she cared for critically ill children and adults. It was there that Linda discovered her true calling in family medicine—where she could form lasting relationships with patients of all ages and focus on preventive care and education for the entire family.

Now, as a member of the Leaf Medical Team, Linda is thrilled to bring her diverse background to offer compassionate, comprehensive care to the community. When she’s not caring for her patients, Linda enjoys reading, playing the violin, exploring the city’s hidden gems, and sampling new cuisines. With her broad range of experiences and genuine love for helping others, Linda combines expertise and heart in everything she does.
