Our Clinic
Our UroLift specialists, Drs. Dean Elterman and Jack Barkin, were the key participants in the Urolift clinical trials. UroLift was approved by the FDA in 2013 and our clinic was the first in Canada to offer this new treatment to men seeking a minimally-invasive treatment for enlarged prostate.
When you become a patient at UUA, you benefit from our broad expertise in men’s health issues, including the enlarged prostate and sexual dysfunction.
All consultations are confidential.
