Meet Shara M. Chen, PA

With over a decade of experience in Women’s Health, I am passionate about providing culturally sensitive, compassionate, and comprehensive care to women at every stage of life.

As a Physician Assistant specializing in Obstetrics and Gynecology, I have a strong interest in family planning, patient education, and supporting women as they transition through the various seasons of life.

I earned my bachelor’s degree from the University of California, Davis, and completed my master’s in physician assistant studies at Samuel Merrit University. Originally from the Philippines and raised in the Bay Area, I relocated with my family to Northern Virginia in 2019, where we’ve enjoyed becoming part of the DMV community.

Outside of medicine, I enjoy spending time outdoors, experimenting in the kitchen, dancing, and keeping up with my two kids. I am also deeply committed to mentoring youth and currently serve as a mentor in the local public school system. My favorite part of my work is forming long-lasting relationships with my patients, ensuring they feel heard, respected, and cared for just like family.
