It is never easy hearing the news that you cannot conceive children naturally. However, going into Dr. Silber’s office that first time put us at complete ease. The entire process was so smooth and the whole team made us feel so comfortable the entire time. We were told that our best chance of getting pregnant would be IVF. My cycle ended up getting us four viable embryos. Round one gifted us our beautiful daughter Colby Maeve, and two and a half years later our second and final round brought us our son Lincoln Knox. I don’t know what we would have done without the help of Dr. Silber and the team. We are so incredibly grateful for everyone involved and will forever be indebted to them for helping us become parents.
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.
