If you are looking for a urologist in George who combines calm, practical guidance with high-level surgical experience, you are in the right place.
Dr Meyer du Plessis recently moved to George from Cape Town and is now seeing patients at Mediclinic George. After working in demanding hospital environments and assisting with complex, high-end urological operations at Groote Schuur Hospital, he brings a thorough, modern approach to diagnosis and treatment, with a strong focus on patient comfort, clear communication, and outcomes that make sense for your lifestyle.
Whether your concern is urgent, long-standing, or simply something you would like checked properly, you can expect professional care that is direct, respectful, and evidence-informed.
Conditions commonly treated in urology
If you are unsure whether your symptoms are “urology-related”, these are some of the common reasons patients seek help:
- Kidney stones, ureteric stones, recurrent stone disease
- Blood in the urine (haematuria), pain, or recurrent urinary symptoms
- Enlarged prostate symptoms (BPH), weak stream, night urination, urinary retention
- Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs)
- Prostate health checks and prostate cancer evaluation pathways
- Bladder problems, urgency, frequency, incontinence
- Erectile dysfunction and men’s health concerns
- Scrotal lumps, testicular pain, varicocele and related conditions
If you have symptoms like persistent pain, fever with urinary symptoms, visible blood in urine, or sudden inability to pass urine, seek urgent medical attention.
Advanced surgical mindset, practical treatment plans
Not everyone needs surgery, and the best urologists are the ones who know when not to operate. We focus on:
- Accurate diagnosis first (so treatment is not guesswork)
- Stepwise care, starting with the least invasive effective options
- Escalation to procedures when it is truly the best route
- Thoughtful follow-up and prevention where possible (especially for stones and recurrent issues)
What to expect at your first consultation
A urology visit is usually straightforward:
- A detailed history, including symptoms, medications, and prior results
- A focused exam when needed
- Review of previous tests (urine tests, ultrasound/CT reports, PSA trends, etc.)
- A clear plan, which may include targeted investigations or treatment trials
Tip: If you can, bring a list of medications, previous imaging reports, and any recent lab results.
Urologist in George: when should you book?
Consider booking if you have:
- Urinary symptoms that persist beyond a few days or keep returning
- Any blood in urine, even once
- Ongoing flank pain or suspected kidney stones
- Prostate symptoms affecting sleep or daily function
- Men’s health concerns that you want addressed properly, without judgement
Early assessment often prevents complications and reduces the chance of emergency episodes.
