Our family cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Silber and his entire team. We had struggled with infertility for several years before we saw Dr. Silber on the Discovery Channel television show “Baby Lab”. We made the trip to St. Louis from Kansas to meet with Dr. Silber and discuss our options. We left our meeting feeling encouraged and hopeful. We quickly scheduled our IVF procedure. We couldn’t wait to see if this would be the end of our journey with infertility.
We will never forget the JOY of that first positive pregnancy test! It seemed as if our family was now going to be complete and we couldn’t imagine being any happier. Little did we know that three months into our pregnancy we would receive a phone call from an adoption agency asking if we would like to adopt a baby girl. After the shock subsided, we happily said “YES”! I was six months pregnant when our daughter Elizabeth Joy was born. Four months later, I delivered a healthy and beautiful baby girl we named Annie Joy.
We are blessed beyond measure to have TWO beautiful daughters. Thank you to Dr. Silber and his team for helping make our dreams come true!
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.
