My husband and I struggled with male infertility for years. We were originally referred to Dr. Silber but decided to go somewhere a little closer to home. After having a horrible, cold, unfriendly experience somewhere else, we decided to see Dr. Silber. I wish we would have seen him from the beginning. After 8yrs of infertility we are now proud parents of a baby boy. Dr Silber's suggestions for treatment were a slower process than what we had hoped (because of our age now) but proved to be successful, which is the main goal. We are forever grateful to him, his nurse Dena, the assisting fertility doctor Dr. Derosa, the operating room staff, and the lab staff. Everyone was such a pleasure to work with and positively cheered us on the whole way. I would HIGHLY recommend them to everyone struggling with infertility.
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.
