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.

Dr Silber and his staff are amazing! He truly is the best in his field! We just delivered our 2nd miracle IVF baby in December and she’s perfect! I seriously recommend you put your trust in Dr Silber and you will have that miracle too!

I’m writing this review of Dr. Silber and his staff on my own accord. Nobody asked me to do this. I had a Vasectomy Reversal performed by Dr. Silber about 6 days ago now.

Dr. Silber is The Man!!! There IS pain and discomfort involved with this surgery. The sack is a VERY tender and delicate part of the body. I was a little scared going into this surgery and I can’t imagine having any other Doctor do this besides Dr. Silber. The entire time I had piece of mind knowing I was at THE BEST place in the world for this operation.

Dr. Silber’s bedside manor is awesome. He’s funny, caring and confident. I’m still recovering but I’m very grateful for having had this modern day miracle artistically performed. Thanks Dr. Silber!!!

I went to Dr.Silber 15 years ago and did ICSI IVF. My ex husband and I were very blessed we only had to try 1 time. We put 3 embryos in. Here we are almost 14 years later & our twins turn 14 in January 2017! They are the two sweetest TEENS I have ever met. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t look at them & realize how blessed I am to have them. Thank You doctor Silber for giving me my two very special kidos :)

My husband, Nathan, and I struggled for over a year to conceive. After a few tests, we discovered we would need to go through IVF for our best chances at getting pregnant. Our OB referred us to Dr. Silber as a possible Specialist in our journey. Well after meeting Dr. Silber, we never met with any other doctors. Our appointment was quick and Dr. Silber got right to the point. Some may be turned off by that, but frankly after a year of questions and “what-if’s, I found the information he provided comforting. It was nice to finally have a plan and know that we could begin our journey in getting pregnant. It all went very quickly (Met with Dr. Silber in November and was pregnant by January). Our coordinator, Rachael, was wonderful and very helpful throughout the process. We were expecting to have a frozen transfer, but during our extraction, Dr. Silber let us know our numbers were good enough to do a fresh transfer. That change in plans was some of the best news we had heard! Three days later we were back for our fresh transfer and 9 months after that we welcomed our healthy, baby boy! The moral of the story is Dr. Silber is an amazing Doctor who has pioneered many of these techniques used to help couples grow their families. If you’re looking for the best, Dr. Silber is who you want. We couldn’t be more thankful to Dr. Silber and his team for giving us our little man and we wouldn’t hesitate to use him in the future should we decide to bless Jackson with a sibling. Thank you again-Rachel and Nathan Roos

Dr. Silber is one of the very few IVF experts in the US who really knows reproductive endocrinology well. He’s the pioneer of fertility preservation and still leads the trends in this area. He and his team are totally dedicated to providing holistic care to the patients, and they are always updating their treatments by the best up-to-date evidence. They are very sensitive to the feeling of the patients and their family, and they are constantly supportive while patients are enduring the stress from infertility and even cancer treatments. They are the best!

My wife and I have been troubled with the problem of infertility. When I was 30 years old, I found out that I had Klinefelters Syndrome and was told that I would never have children because I have no sperm. I went to several doctors, including top doctors in Seattle, WA that specialized in Klinefelters and infertility.

We lived up in Anchorage, Alaska the past 4 years because of the military. I separated but my wife stayed in the service and we had to choose where we wanted to be stationed next. While it’s not always guaranteed we’ll get to choose where we want to go, there’s a chance we’ll get what we wanted. After researching infertility and Klinefelter, we found Dr. Sherman Silber through a website and did a bunch of research on him. He had an extensive background with dealing with patients with Klinefelter and we wanted to try the IVF process. So we decided to put St. Louis on our “dream” sheet. About 6 months later, we received notification that we were going to St. Louis!

After arriving in the area, we met with Dr. Silber and his team. He was a very nice and compassionate man. He explained everything to us to include my TESE procedure and the IVF Process. I was very nervous about the procedure but he assured me that I would be fine and that there’s a chance he would be able to find sperm through this procedure. Being a 34-year-old man, never having children, I’ve always dreamed of being able to carry my fathers blood line. The past 4 years, all I was told is that I’ll never have my own children because of Klinefelter. I didn’t think it was possible.

We started the IVF process on January 6, 2017. My wife responded well to the hormones and injections and was notified that my TESE procedure and egg retrieval would be on January 15, 2017. We were both very nervous the day of the procedure. Again, Dr. Silber and his team to include Dr. Pineda met with us prior to explain the procedure. We knew exactly what to expect. Both of our procedures went as planned and we both did great.

On January 16, 2017, we were notified that Dr. Silber was able to find sperm! He was able to get enough to fertilize 5 eggs. Miracles do happen and it’s because of Dr. Sherman Silber! We thank God everyday for being able to work with this man and to hopefully be able to start our family. My wife had her transfer today, January 18th and everything went just as planned. We will have to wait until January 30th to see the results. He found enough sperm to freeze and extra embryos in case we have to try again but we were ecstatic just that we were given the opportunity.

We highly recommend Dr. Sherman Silber and his team. Our coordinator Rachael was amazing. She explains everything you need to do and there’s never any question about any procedure. We’re so blessed and miracles do happen, thank you!

Dr. Silber and his entire staff made our IVF journey an amazing experience. It is very scary when you first find out that the only way you can get pregnant is through IVF. You want the doctors and nurses to be caring and gentle, but you also want the best chances of getting pregnant possible, and we got all of that through Dr. Silber and his staff. Dr. Silber puts so much thought into each patient. He will do whatever he thinks necessary to make sure you get pregnant. Each procedure and doctor visit went as smoothly as it possibly could. From our coordinator, to the receptionist at the surgery center, to the nurse who walked us into surgery, I cannot say enough good things about each person we encountered. Every time we were told to switch medications, or try this procedure, we had full trust in them. And it worked out, because after our first frozen embryo transfer we are expecting our first baby girl!

Dr. Sherman Silber is direct and to the point and will try his hardest to help. When first meeting with him–you will wait awhile (like clear your schedule for the day just in case), but this is for good reason! He will study each case in depth to truly determine what is best for the individual. He’s an outstanding man who has a gift and his staff is the best! We were assigned Mindy to work with and communicate with throughout our process. She was there for me with any ridiculous or silly questions I may have had (which I did have frequently). We went in blind, not understanding the process or how long it would take. Going in for the first meeting we just had in our minds “we’re going to have a baby in nine months”–I don’t know why that was our mind set, but it was unfortunately. We started our journey in August of 2015 and officially started shots in November of 2015. I gave birth to our precious baby boy in October of 2016! The wait and the long process was SO worth it!! I cannot thank Dr. Silber, Dr. DeRosa and their staff enough for the kindness and support they showed our family throughout our fertility process. If you are looking for a miracle and know that God has a plan, I can promise you that if He has lead you to read this post then this is your sign.

Dr. Silber and his team are amazing!

I believe that Dr. Silber and his team are the best in the country, if not the world! I have received only the best care and attention in my journey with IVF, specifically mini-IVF. My story is very common–I’m almost 44 years old and finally ready in my life to become a mother, and yet it would be too late for me on a biological level if it wasn’t for today’s Assisted Reproductive Technology. Dr. Silber has been a leader and pioneer in his field and continues to be so–he has helped thousands and thousands of women and couples achieve their dream of having a child/children. By seeking out his help, I too have a very good chance of realizing my dream! I would like to stress the importance of mini-IVF, or minimal-IVF stimulation, for my case and for other women in my age group, which is early 40s. I had heard all kinds of scary stories of women going through conventional IVF, what with the mood swings, the expensive costs of drugs and treatment, the long and drawn-out treatment itself, and the risk of hyper-stimulation syndrome. But mini-IVF is the way to go! After completing two cycles of this approach, I can say that it is more humane than the conventional approach. Minimal drugs, minimal expense, minimal duration of treatment, minimal risk (if any)–basically minimal discomfort and inconvenience! I highly recommend mini-IVF for women like me! There is excellent information about it on the Infertility Center of St. Louis’s website that explains the approach and what it’s all about. I truly believe that Dr. Silber is a real doctor in the sense that he cares about his patients rather than viewing them as just another case, that he cares about his patients’ dreams and does his best to assist with them, that he is kind and generous and warm and fun! Yes, his warmth may just be the most notable quality for me–a doctor who practices compassion and a genuine desire to help is a true doctor in my book! You can’t go wrong with Dr. Silber and his team! They will do everything they can to serve you in realizing one of the most powerful dreams of life!

Dr. Silber and his team are our heroes and here’s our story why:
After over a year of trying to conceive naturally and 5 rounds of IUI, a surgery to remove endometriosis revealed that I had many other medical complications that would make getting pregnant naturally very difficult. After much research, we decided to pair up with Dr. Silber. He explained that with the complications I had, our best chances of having a baby would be through in vitro fertilization and he suggested that we do the mini- stim cycle. One thing we noticed right away was that Dr. Silber had an eye for detail, my husband and I were both tested for various conditions, as to not miss a thing and increasing our chances of conceiving. We were both excited and very nervous to start the process. In January 2016, I started the stimulation medications, which with the help of Dr. Silber’s coordinator, Rachel, the process seemed smooth and organized. I loved having my own personal coordinator who I could call or email anytime and get an almost immediate response back. We ended up getting over 20 healthy eggs and 11 beautiful day 5 embryos.
Skip ahead to May 2016 when we transferred one healthy embryo back to me. It worked!! We were finally pregnant! And on January 12, 2017, all our dreams came true as we welcomed a gorgeous 6 pound 6 ounce baby girl with blue eyes and lots dark brown hair!! We could not be more thankful to have Dr Silber and his team in our lives.

We will hope to give our little girl a brother or sister in the near future and we will be using Dr. Silber yet again. I highly recommend to anyone I know experiencing infertility to seek out care at the Infertility Center of St. Louis.

From the very first consultation through the embryo transfer; my experience was so easy and mostly stress-free with Dr. Silber and his staff. Even though, I only saw Dr. Silber three times through the whole process, my IVF coordinator, Dusty was always available for questions and always gave me my test results within hours. I did mini-IVF, which was really easy on my body and hormones, even though I only ended up with one embryo, it turned into my beautiful baby girl, Emilia!

I would recommend Dr. Silber and his staff at St. Luke’s. Everyone was really friendly and helpful especially during my egg retrieval and embryo transfer. All of the nurses were amazing and he talked me through the whole process and made me feel extremely comfortable.

We decided to go see Dr. Silber for a second opinion after the first RE we went to turned out to be a nightmare, 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.Dr. Silber is very to the point, some people may be put off by this but we loved how it made things very easy to understand. 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 we finally were able to do the IVF procedure. Two weeks later Dina told us those wonderful words “Congratulations, you’re pregnant”. In February of 2014 our daughter 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 a Mom and Dad.

UPDATE: We just finished a second successful IVF cycle with Dr. Silber. As usual, he was fantastic and made sure that we had the best medical care possible. We had tried to do a cycle last fall but it was cancelled due to a polyp. When this happened, they explained to me why they could not proceed and why the cycle would not have worked if we had proceeded. I was sad that it was cancelled, but felt that it was the right thing to do. This time around, a few days before our transfer, we brought our daughter (also a Silber Baby) to meet him and Dena (our coordinator). They were so fantastic with her and they were so personable and friendly. When we left, we saw Dr. Silber in the hall and even shared an elevator, he was just as nice and interacted with our daughter as well. We appreciate them for all the hard work they did to help us become a family, and now, grow our family. We highly recommend him. Even if you do not live near by, which we are in that boat, he is worth the time and travel involved!

Dr. Silber and his staff helped us have two beautiful children. Our oldest is 16 and youngest 13. We are truly blessed.

He (Dr. Silber) and Dr DeRosa are the total bomb. Love these guys!

My husband and I struggled with male infertility for years. We were originally referred to Dr. Silber but decided to go somewhere a little closer to home. After having a horrible, cold, unfriendly experience somewhere else, we decided to see Dr. Silber. I wish we would have seen him from the beginning. After 8yrs of infertility we are now proud parents of a baby boy. Dr Silber’s suggestions for treatment were a slower process than what we had hoped (because of our age now) but proved to be successful, which is the main goal. We are forever grateful to him, his nurse Dena, the assisting fertility doctor Dr. Derosa, the operating room staff, and the lab staff. Everyone was such a pleasure to work with and positively cheered us on the whole way. I would HIGHLY recommend them to everyone struggling with infertility.

We started our infertility journey in 2015, we had tried for 2.5 years of and nothing was happening. We went to a local clinic first who put us through a series of stressful tests, endometriosis removal surgery, and 3 rounds of Clomid with 2 failed IUIs, I was devastated. They wanted me to try one more time, but I had had enough! We spent so much money and it seemed like they treated all the patients the same and he didn’t really know what he was doing. I was doing a Google search one night and I found Dr. Silber, what caught my eye was the success stories and one story in particular. There was a family from a really small town in Eastern, Iowa and my husband had actually taught in their school district for 7 years, I thought if they can have success with Dr. Silber, then so can I. We went through IVF in August of 2016, and I’ll never forget the moment I received that call “we have good news, your HCg was 169, congratulations, you are pregnant”. I still cry about it today! Our little miracle was born a little early, but is a healthy 6 month old peanut! We are so grateful to Dr. Silber, Dr. DeRosa, and the ladies at the clinic. We wouldn’t be complete without our little man.

It’s taken me a little while to write a review, because after 4 and a half months of pregnancy i’m still pinching myself:). Dr. Silber and his counterpart Dr. DeRosa are by far some of the most amazing human beings I have ever met. After having performed 3 very expensive IVF cycles through physicians who didn’t have an ounce of the compassion that either of these two physicians; possess, I was blessed enough to come across Dr. Silber’s name in my final search for a good IVF clinic…this was it – my last shot. Dr. Silber is a very soft spoken man who is phenomenal at what he does. After my first interaction with him, where he essentially interviewed my husband and I, it quickly became obvious that this is not a get rich quick scheme for him, but a labour of love. The IVF Dr’s before Dr. Silber promised me a great shot at pregnancy within 2 months and it sure sounded a lot better than Dr. Silber’s mini IVF for older woman, in which he said I had a good shot of pregnancy after about 1 year( doesn’t sound quite as good, right?). Well, the other IVF clinics took about $120,000 of my money and I walked out with 0 babies. After visiting Dr. Silber for a year and a total cost of about $25000, I am 4 and a half months pregnant with 5 eggs to spare…you do the math. If you are considering IVF and fortunate enough to come across Dr. Silber’s name and you are seriously dedicated to expanding your family, please do not hesitate to dial his number.

We always knew that we wanted to be parents but we had no idea that the journey to get there would become one of our greatest challenges but ultimately our greatest blessing to date. The process was certainly not an easy one. After two doctors, two surgeries, many tests, countless meds, and two failed IUI cycles, we were still not seeing those cherished two pink lines. After almost two years, I thought there was a good chance that I might not be able to fall pregnant. There must be something wrong with me even though two other doctors had told me otherwise. I was young. I was healthy. NOTHING was wrong. I knew in my gut that I needed another opinion. After a lot of prayer and research, we found Dr. Sherman Silber. He was mentioned on one of my infertility support groups and it sounded almost too good to be true. My parents actually lived in St Louis at the time. I could stay with them during my appointments, this would be perfect.
And it was nothing short of amazing, from the time we met Dr. Silber to our IVF procedure leading all the way up to finding out we were pregnant (with twins!), everyone was absolutely incredible. Dr. Silber found what my other two doctors had missed. I have severe PCOS and needed IVF from the get go, so my instincts had been spot on. Dr. Silber and his staff are extremely kind but more importantly they are empathetic and to infertility patients, this is EVERYTHING.
Our beautiful baby boys arrived on December 12, 2016 and “Thank you” just doesn’t seem enough to completely convey the sentiment of what we feel. Our hearts are overflowing with gratitude for Dr. Silber, Dr. DeRosa, and the entire team and staff at Infertility Center of St. Louis. You will not just be another number or statistic to Dr. Silber and his staff; they care very much about your end goal of taking home a healthy baby. Our boys are our entire world and they wouldn’t exist without the blessing of our gracious God and the hard work of the wonderful people of Infertility Center of St. Louis. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us complete our little family.

My husband and I had already visited three other IVF clinics on the day we met Dr. Silber. He was our last visit, and we almost canceled our appointment because we were sure we wanted to go with another doctor. Other than God’s plan, we don’t know why we went that day, but so thankful we did. My husband and I had already completed multiple rounds of IUIs at a previous clinic. In order to be closer to home, we moved to another clinic where we completed two rounds of IVF. Due to complications with a pregnancy for our first son, we decided to look elsewhere. Through that process we were led to Dr. Silber. The feeling of “this is the right place” started in the waiting room. We talked with other couples from states away, discussing how they discovered Dr. Silber. Our confidence grew, which after 8 years of trying was starting to diminish, as we met with Dr. Silber and he reviewed our case. Dr. Silber was direct and to the point, which we appreciated. Through our IVF cycle, the dedication and precision of his staff along with their compassion made this experience with IVF exceptional. We, my husband, myself, and our new baby boy, are grateful the Lord led us to Dr. Silber, “The Wizard”, and his staff.

Latasha Munion

We welcomed our little boy after trying for 7 years to get pregnant. We can’t thank Dr. Silber enough for helping our family grow we are forever grateful.
