Our dream came true!!
The most amazing feeling we have ever experienced was holding our daughter for the first time. From the second we held her in our arms, the six long years we waited for her were worth the wait. This was all thanks to Dr. Silber and his staff.
My husband and I met in High School and married shortly after college. When we decided to try to start a family, we never thought that we would have any problems. We first went to a local infertility center and had such a horrible experience. There was no compassion, no explanations about anything, they would not listen to what we wanted, and even left our infertility diagnosis on a voicemail! Very disheartened we started to look at other options thinking that pregnancy for us would never happen.
My aunt happened to be watching the Discovery Health Channel one day when The Baby Lab Documentary came on. Knowing our situation she contacted my mother who let us know about Dr. Silber. We decided to go see Dr. Silber for a second opinion, and we are glad we did. From our first meeting Dr. Silber and his staff were so compassionate, listened to us and made us feel so at ease and gave us back the hope that we could one day become parents. In March of 2009 we were all set up to do an IVF procedure but had to cancel due to both of us losing our jobs. In August of 2012 we tried again, we were able to get to the egg retrieval stage but due to some complications had to stop again. In May of 2013 on our 10 year wedding anniversary we finally were able to do the IVF procedure we had looked so forward to. Two weeks later Dina told us those wonderful words “Congratulations, you’re pregnant”. In February of 2014 our daughter Christine was born and we were able to finally hold our dream in our hands. There will never be anything we could ever do or say that would adequately express our gratitude to them for helping us become Christine’s Mom and Dad. We look forward to the day we are able to come back to make her a big sister!
Forever grateful,
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.
