My husband and I struggled with infertility for 14 years. We had been to another clinic, and our efforts were unsuccessful. We had lost all hope and decided not to pursue any further treatment. Then, at age 38, I felt like God had laid it on my heart to seek further treatment. After much research, I found that a world-renowned fertility doctor was only three hours from our home. After talking with Dr. Silber, we had so much hope! Dr. Silber, Dr. DeRosa, Nurse Shelly, and Liz made our experience so wonderful. They always answered all of our questions and were so compassionate and caring. Dr. Silber recommended that I try to get as many eggs as I could given my age, and we were blessed with 7 embryos and one blastocyst. We transferred our blastocyst at age 39, and two months after my 40th birthday, we welcomed our sweet baby boy! After so many years, it was so hard to believe! We are so grateful that God put Dr. Silber, Dr. DeRosa, and their entire team in our path! Thank you for everything!

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.
