Roughly 6 years ago my husband and I sought to have a child, following an extended period of struggling to conceive. We made numerous unsuccessful attempts through 2 different IVF clinics that boasted they were the best in the world. In the end both clinics gladly accepted about $80,000 total, not including the $30,000 (spent on medications) and ultimately suggested we give up on our dream of having a baby. Because, they could not give us a child, according to them our dream was just not possible. Their solution was simply, either adopt or use donor eggs. Since, my husband and I don’t believe in giving up easily, our solution was simply – let’s try one more time…and then came Dr. Silber. Dr. Silber is a very simple man – kind, soft spoken and extremely knowledgeable. During our initial interview, Dr. Silber assessed our level of determination and outlined a plan to help us achieve our goal and a year later I was pregnant,. Dr. Silber has an amazing team behind him, including Dr. Derosa, who is an absolutely phenomenal talent. Both, Dr. Silber and Derosa are the most well-informed, genuinely kind, coolest physicians that I ever met. I feel blessed to have come across Dr. Silber’s name during our last ditch effort to conceive. On February 6, 2018, Noah, a healthy 8 lb. 14 oz baby boy was introduced to the world. Although, Dr. Silber remains extremely humble, he is a powerful vessel that God uses to add beauty to this world. My husband and I are forever grateful – thank you Dr. Silber, Dr. Derosa and the entire Infertility Center of St. Louis team.
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.
