Thank you to Dr. Silber and his wonderful team for providing such passionate care and expertise with our case. We are very grateful to have found the world’s best fertility expert. After many physicians led us down a path with “maybe” answers, Dr. Silber thoughtfully reviewed our case and led us in the right direction keeping our thoughts and feelings about conceiving in mind. We wanted to try the most natural approach and finally went down the mini IVF pathway. We welcomed baby boy, Reid Douglas, into the world on October 1, 2019. He joins his two older half siblings, Molly and Jack, and his two dogs, Rosie and Gabby. Our hope is to meet with Dr. Silber again in the near future to expand our family even more. We can’t thank the Infertility Center of St. Louis more for treating us with respect and compassion.
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.
