General Info

When Dr. Leng arrived in Fort Worth in 2012, she was the city’s first and only female urologist. She admits she was surprised, although it wasn’t completely unexpected. “Even when I was training back in the 90s, most chairmen overseeing departments of urology had no interest in training a woman,” she says. “Back then, women made up only one percent of all urologists in the country. So, I was very fortunate to meet two urology chairmen for residency and fellowship who were quite progressive-minded. They truly felt there needed to be more women in the field of urology.” Yet, even her parents raised their eyebrows and wondered why she chose the male-dominated field. Her response to all who raised their eyebrows was simple: “Well, women have urinary tracts too!” The surgical subspecialty appealed to Dr. Leng’s penchant for “figuring out problems and then literally, taking matters into one’s hands to solve them.” The subspecialty previously known as “female urology” and now as FPMRS (female pelvic medicine reconstructive surgery) proved a great fit. “I especially like taking care of vaginal prolapse and incontinence. As a founder of Urology Partners, Dr. Leng leverages her rare combination of academic urology and medical practice to serve women and men whose quality of life has been diminished by urinary tract dysfunction. In particular, more and more women are seeking medical help for their worsening incontinence and pelvic prolapse. “I am a woman urologist who has spent my entire career focused on the subspecialty of vaginal prolapse and incontinence—pelvic floor medicine,” she says. Along with her expertise, Dr. Leng’s upbeat personality puts her patients at ease. “I try to make a connection with each new patient I meet,” she says. “I want them to know that I’m there for them.” Not long ago, Dr. Leng helped a depressed, elderly woman with chronic vaginal prolapse. “It was the most severe case I’ve ever seen.
