John was told his entire life that he would never be able to have a child of his own. We found Dr. Silber in St. Louis and thought we would let him look into it a little deeper. My husband has Cystic Fibrosis. He stays on top of it and is super healthy. We went to see Dr. Silber and I within the first 30 mins they told me I had a separate uterus which I had never been told before. So with some surgeries performed by Dr. DeRosa. We had an egg retrieval and sperm retrieval. We had healthy sperm & eggs!! And we now have the biggest blessing in our whole life! THANK YOU DR. SILBER and team for making our dreams come true and making me a momma!
Infertile patients cannot afford to wait for treatment while their eggs get older.
Dr. Sherman Silber, Infertility Center of St. Louis, is offering video consultations for patients who need to plan now for their treatment while stay-at-home orders are in place. He is talking to and evaluating patients in their home to comply with social distancing measures.
Dr. Silber is discovering that patients actually prefer this method of telemedicine consultation over the conventional office visit. Patients have conveyed that “it is so much more convenient and less stressful” to have a telemedicine personal consultation than to take a day off from work to travel to the doctor’s office and sit with other nervous patients in the waiting room.
The COVID-19 pandemic is thus changing much of the way we will do things in the future, and for the better. “Our patients are surprisingly much happier with this approach. Of course, at some point we need to perform hands on treatment. But with this new manner of seeing patients, we can come to the right diagnosis and treatment plan for most patients more efficiently, quickly, and painlessly, with no loss of personal one-on-one communication.” This is a very welcome new era of telemedicine that has been forced on us by the current difficult times.
