My husband and I knew we wanted children right away after we married in 2014. We struggled with getting pregnant for almost a year before meeting with Dr. Sherman Silber and Dr. Michael DeRosa. After our initial meeting with Dr. Silber we knew we had come to the right place! He was so kind and studied our case diligently. He presented us with a game plan and we jumped on it. We began our fertility journey in August of 2015.
Our son was born on October 31, 2016. He was a perfect eight pound, ten ounce baby boy and it is still one of the best days of our lives! We of course wanted to give him a sibling not too far apart in age, so we began our next round of fertility treatments in March of 2018 (about—time blends together these days). On January 28, 2019 we welcomed our two baby girls …That’s right, twins! Baby A was six pounds even and baby B was six pounds, nine ounces. One more favorite and memorial day was added to our books!
We believe that God gives each of us a spiritual gift and it’s our duty to find out what that gift is. Dr. Silber, Dr. DeRosa and their teams have undeniably found their gifts. They are extraordinary people and their teams work like well-oiled machines! Dr. Silber has given us our little miracle babies and we cannot thank him enough. We appreciate he and his staff tremendously and the care they’ve given us throughout each stage of our fertility process. God bless each and every one of them!
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.
