David and I were college sweethearts. We met in 2006 and eventually married in 2010. We loved our life and we loved our great dane, Maya, but we knew in our hearts that something was missing. We wanted to start a family. So on our anniversary in December 2013, after a shared bottle of red wine, we picked out a name for our future son and daughter and embarked on this adventure. And an adventure it was.
We always knew that we wanted to be parents but we had no idea that the journey to get there would become one of our greatest challenges but ultimately our greatest blessing to date. The process was certainly not an easy one. After two doctors, two surgeries, many tests, countless meds, and two failed IUI cycles, we were still not seeing those cherished two pink lines. After almost two years, I thought there was a good chance that I might not be able to fall pregnant. There must be something wrong with me even though two other doctors had told me otherwise. I was young. I was healthy. NOTHING was wrong. I knew in my gut that I needed another opinion. After a lot of prayer and research, we found Dr. Sherman Silber. He was mentioned on one of my infertility support groups and it sounded almost too good to be true. My parents actually lived in St Louis at the time. I could stay with them during my appointments, this would be perfect.
And it was nothing short of amazing, from the time we met Dr. Silber to our IVF procedure leading all the way up to finding out we were pregnant (with twins!), everyone was absolutely incredible. Dr. Silber found what my other two doctors had missed. I have severe PCOS and needed IVF from the get go, so my instincts had been spot on. Dr. Silber and his staff are extremely kind but more importantly they are empathetic and to infertility patients, this is EVERYTHING.
Our beautiful baby boys arrived on December 12, 2016 and “Thank you” just doesn’t seem enough to completely convey the sentiment of what we feel. Our hearts are overflowing with gratitude for Dr. Silber, Dr. DeRosa, and the entire team and staff at Infertility Center of St. Louis.You will not just be another number or statistic to Dr. Silber and his staff; they care very much about your end goal of taking home a healthy baby. Anderson Reed and Rushton Hall are our entire world and they wouldn’t exist without the blessing of our gracious God and the hard work of the wonderful people of Infertility Center of St. Louis. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us complete our little family.
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.
