My husband and I tried to conceive for 3 years. Those 3 years included many tests and 3 failed IUI attempts under the care of another doctor. We never did find a reason that we were not able to get pregnant. We decided to make an appointment with Dr. Silber and started our first IVF cycle in 2015, which resulted in the birth of a beautiful baby girl in March of 2016. We did not have any frozen embryos left from our first IVF cycle, so we started a new IVF cycle in 2018, which resulted in the birth of another beautiful baby girl in January of 2019. Dr. Silber and Dr. DeRosa were so kind and caring throughout the whole process. We will be forever grateful for our two IVF miracles.
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.
