About the Provider
Michael Litrel, MD, FACOG, FPMRS, is a double board-certified urogynecologist and female reconstructive surgeon who provides specialized care for women with complex gynecologic and pelvic floor conditions. He has expertise in pelvic pain management, urinary incontinence and bladder disorders, sexual dysfunction, pelvic organ prolapse and advanced female pelvic reconstruction surgery. Dr. Litrel has spent much of his career helping women address health concerns that affect their daily lives, confidence and overall well-being, including conditions many patients have been told to simply live with.
Dr. Litrel believes patients deserve clear answers, thoughtful guidance and care that truly improves their quality of life. His approach is practical and personal: listening closely, explaining conditions in plain language and offering treatment options that align with each woman's goals and stage of life. He wants women to feel comfortable discussing difficult or intimate concerns and to leave with a plan they understand and trust.
Known for his comprehensive and patient-centered approach, Dr. Litrel is dedicated to helping women regain their health and confidence.
Outside of medicine, he enjoys volunteering in the community and spending time with his family.
