We cannot express in words how thankful we are to have the opportunity to meet and work with you. We thank God for the two blessings you have helped us make with the Mini IVF procedure.
The road was long and hard (PCOS and unexplained infertility) but choosing you both before all other doctors made this process a lot easier. There are no guarantees when it comes to infertility but you and your staff comforted and helped us each step of the way. If I had to do it over again, I wouldn’t change a thing. I’d still pray to God that if He wanted us to have a baby we would and if not that it would not happen. I’d try to relax and let your staff and nurses worry for me like they said they would. I’d know that I’m not the only one dealing with infertility and hormones and that other couples are struggling also. I’d write this letter even if we were not successful because you both are amazing people with a wonderful gift who do great things.
Thank you for the chance to have our little ones and God Bless.
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.
