My husband and I had been trying to get pregnant for over two years and went through various infertility treatments for about a year. We were tired and frustrated but knew we were going to be parents one day so we didn’t lose hope. October 2018 I went into Dr. Silber’s office to learn about IVF. He was able to tell me within minutes what he thought was going on with my body which I had not been told previously from my other doctor. If I would have known, I probably would have done IVF sooner. We decided to move forward with IVF that day and it was the best decision we have ever made. The whole process was very organized and all questions were always answered in a timely manner. We felt like we were in great hands. On August 13, 2019 we welcomed our twin boys Henry Bates and Robert Brooks into the world! We are so thankful for the help of Dr. Silber and Dr. DeRosa!
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.
