When my husband and I finally decided it was time to start a family, we realized that it would not be easy. While we were ready in all other aspects, apparently time was not on our side. We tried for 3 years to get pregnant and have a baby. All the usual steps didn’t work and then my husband stumbled upon Dr. Silber and the Infertility Center of St. Louis through an internet search. Fortunately we live in the area and decided to meet with Dr. Silber and his staff to start the IVF process and journey. From our first meeting, it was clear that this was a professional and busy practice that provides results! Dr. Silber is very direct and informative and tells you exactly what is going on and what is recommended. Kelsey was my coordinator and she took care of everything; any and all of my questions were answered very quickly. Dr. Silber and his staff made the entire process as easy as possible. It still is a stressful time, but knowing that the Infertility Center is one of the best in the world and they know exactly what they are doing, made it bearable. My egg retrieval process didn’t provide the best results, but all it takes is that one! I underwent 3 retrievals which resulted in 3 embryos before moving forward with an embryo transfer. Luckily, I became pregnant after the very first transfer!!! My husband and I were thrilled and really couldn’t believe it! Thanks to Dr. Silber and Dr. DeRosa we had our best Christmas gift ever and welcomed little Emma on December 23, 2017! Currently we are thinking about expanding our family with the help of Dr. Silber and staff and giving Emma a sibling!
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.
