The doctors continue to practice in the neighborhoods they have been serving for years while affording them access to technology and services that are just not available to most medical groups.

With a broad educational background, Dr. McLenan obtained his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of West Indies, Jamaica in 1986. He then went on to earn his medical degree from the State University of New York Health Science Center at Brooklyn in 1993.

Furthering his training, he performed his residencies in surgery and urology with New York University (affiliated hospitals – Bellevue Hospital, Manhattan Veterans Administration Hospital, Tisch Hospital, NYU Downstate Hospital, Cabrini Medical Center, and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center).

With years of experience, the doctor is board-certified in urology by the American Board of Urology.

His research experience includes: investigating the use of Uroplakin II as a marker for transitional cell carcinoma (1997) & investigating the clinical use of holmium laser in the treatment of urethral strictures (1992).

Urology is the branch of medicine that focuses on surgical and medical diseases of the male and female urinary-tract system and the male reproductive organs. Urologists specialize in diseases of the urinary tract and the male reproductive system. Patients may be referred to a urologist if their physician suspects they may need treatment for a condition relating to the bladder, prostate, urethra, ureters, kidneys, and adrenal glands.
