Specializing in Rheumatology, Musculoskeletal Diseases & Osteoporosis

With an interest in biochemistry and immunology, Dr. Jasen Chi finds great satisfaction in helping patients with autoimmune conditions and severe rheumatoid arthritis control their disease and attain an excellent quality of life.

Born in Taipei, Taiwan, Dr. Chi and his family moved to Little Rock over twenty-five years ago to become involved in the restaurant industry. Dr. Chi says that working at OrthoArkansas and being able to stay right here in Little Rock with his family at his side is a dream come true.

After earning a BS from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Dr. Chi attended medical school at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. Following an internship and residency in internal medicine in Memphis, Dr. Chi returned to Little Rock to complete a fellowship in rheumatology.

Dr. Chi is married to Thuy Hoang Chi. Fluent in both English and Chinese (Mandarin), he stays involved with the Asian community of Little Rock and values the diversity among the many races represented in Arkansas. Being from a family of restaurateurs, Dr. Chi spends much of his leisure time cooking and creating new dishes in the kitchen. He also enjoys building mountain bikes (a hobby he learned in college while working to pay his way through school), traveling, and tennis.
