Meet Elisabeth Ferlic, MD
Dr. Ferlic is the physician behind Core Urology and Pelvic Health, an independent practice serving the Salt Lake Valley. She is board-certified in urology, and her fellowship covered voiding dysfunction, female pelvic reconstruction, and neuro-urology (how the nerves and the bladder work together).
She opened her own practice so a visit lasts as long as the problem requires. Your history comes before any test, and conservative options come before any procedure. The answers come in plain language. Her surgical internship and urology residency were at Mayo Clinic Arizona, followed by a fellowship at Metro Urology in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Why many women look for a woman urologist
Some patients prefer a woman urologist for intimate symptoms or an examination. That preference can make it more comfortable to start the conversation.
The preference is reasonable. Bladder leaks, pelvic pressure, pain with intimacy, and infections that keep coming back are personal subjects, and a pelvic exam is often part of the evaluation. Some women find it easier to describe these things to another woman, especially the first time they say them out loud. Others have been told their symptoms are a normal part of aging or motherhood, and they want a physician who starts by listening.
You don't need to explain why you prefer a woman urologist. Many of Dr. Ferlic's patients sought her out for the same reason.
Conditions Dr. Ferlic treats
- Leaking with a cough, a laugh, or a workout: urinary incontinence
- Sudden urges, frequent trips, and waking at night: overactive bladder
- Pelvic heaviness, pressure, or a bulge: pelvic organ prolapse
- Infections that keep returning, or ongoing bladder pain: recurrent UTIs and interstitial cystitis
- Bladder problems tied to a neurologic condition or injury: neurogenic bladder
- Kidney stones and other general urology concerns
- Bladder and pelvic changes around menopause: hormone and menopause care
Treatment starts with the least invasive option that works, such as pelvic floor therapy. When that isn't enough, Dr. Ferlic also offers bladder Botox, nerve stimulation, and slings and urethral bulking. The women's pelvic health page covers the full range.
Men are welcome too. Dr. Ferlic has treated men throughout her career, including for enlarged prostate and vasectomy. See men's urology.
Training in the bladder, pelvic floor, and nerves
Dr. Ferlic completed a urology residency at Mayo Clinic Arizona and a fellowship in voiding dysfunction and female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery at Metro Urology. Her training covers how the urinary tract stores and releases urine, including problems linked to neurologic conditions.
That background supports evaluation of bladder and pelvic symptoms together. Treatment choices include conservative care and procedures when appropriate. If a concern needs another specialist, the next step can include a referral.
