We felt like we had tried everything when we found Dr. Silber and his team. From our first meeting to explore our options, until the exciting news of a positive test came, he and his team were so very caring, humble, and kind. They gave us a renewed confidence that having a family was possible after so many disappointments. Our first round of IVF was a success and 9 months later, we had our precious Bodhi Bear! When we decided to have a 2nd baby, the choice was obvious, and Dr. Silber and his team came through again. Our sweet Princess Blythe was born in October of 2022. We thank God for the blessings he gave us through Dr. Silber's work.

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.
