We would like to start by saying thank you for helping us overcome our infertility. We recently welcomed our son Jaxson. He is a happy, healthy baby boy and the greatest gift that we could ever hope for!
My husband and I have been together since we were sophomores in high school. We were married at age 21 and began trying to start a family a few years after that. We soon realized that getting pregnant was going to be difficult. After years of trying and countless fertility treatments at other clinics we found Dr. Silber’s website.
We were very nervous about going to a new specialist and not sure we were prepared to go through the emotional toll of fertility treatments again. However, after our first consultation with Dr. Silber we knew that we had to try one more time to have a child of our own.
Dr. Silber is easy to talk to and always has a reason behind the decisions he makes regarding patient care. He is confident and has the experience to back up all of his recommendations. His staff is amazing: they were always courteous and friendly. Our IVF nurse was Karah and she was fantastic! She answered every question we had (there were a lot of them), was so patient, and always there for us. Dr. DeRosa is also a wonderful physician. He is very experienced, confident and capable of putting even the most nervous patient at ease. My husband and I liked him so much we decided to continue seeing him throughout our pregnancy, even though there were many OB-GYN choices much closer to home.
We have several friends/family members that are also struggling with infertility and I highly recommend to all of them that they go talk to Dr. Silber. He made our dream of becoming parents come true, so there are no words capable of conveying our gratitude to him and his staff, but thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
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.
