Dr. Dean Elterman is a urologist in Toronto, Ontario, whose practice centres on enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH) and the urinary symptoms it causes. He sees patients privately at Urology Innovations Canada (UIC) in downtown Toronto, where he offers three minimally invasive BPH procedures: Rezūm, Optilume BPH and iTIND. Dr. Elterman completed a two-year fellowship in voiding dysfunction, neuro-urology, female urology and pelvic reconstruction at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York. He is an Associate Professor of Urology at the University of Toronto, where he holds the Lang Family Endowed Chair in Urologic Innovation.
Clinical Focus & Specialties
Dr. Elterman sees patients at Urology Innovations Canada, an outpatient urology clinic on Edward Street in downtown Toronto, founded in 2006. The clinic focuses on diagnostics and minimally invasive treatment for prostate conditions, and many procedures are performed in the office rather than in a hospital operating room. Consultations are by appointment, and the clinic sees patients from across the Greater Toronto Area, the rest of Canada and abroad.

Dr. Elterman may be an option for Ontarians seeking private urology care, especially for select procedures or newer technologies that may not be covered by the public system (e.g. Rezūm, UroLift, iTind, Aquablation, private GreenLight laser, private HoLEP, prostate artery embolization). If you live in Ontario, your eligibility will depend on whether the service is insured, uninsured, elective, or otherwise permitted privately. His office can help confirm what applies to your situation.
