What conditions does Dr. Maclachlan treat?

Dr. Maclachlan treats a broad range of urological conditions including kidney stones, urinary tract infections, bladder issues, prostate enlargement, and urinary incontinence. She sees both male and female patients of varying ages. If you are unsure whether your symptoms fall under urology, calling her office for a brief screening is a good first step.

Does Dr. Maclachlan treat urinary incontinence in women?

Yes, urinary incontinence is a common concern she addresses for female patients.

A thorough evaluation helps determine the most appropriate path forward.

What should I bring to my first urology appointment with Dr. Maclachlan?

Plan to bring a list of all current medications, any relevant imaging or lab results, your insurance information, and a summary of your symptoms including when they started. Writing down your questions in advance helps ensure nothing is missed during the visit.
