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.

CHESTERFIELD, MO, February 24, 2010 – For the fourth year in a row, St. Luke’s Hospital is the only Missouri hospital to be named on the HealthGrades list of America’s 50 Best Hospitals.

The designation is based solely on clinical outcomes at each of the nation’s nearly 5,000 non-government hospitals. Hospitals cannot opt in or out of this independent analysis.

“St. Luke’s is committed to improving the quality of life for patients and the community,” said Gary Olson, St. Luke’s Hospital president and chief executive officer. “This achievement is a testament to the ongoing, focused effort of our entire healthcare team to provide each patient the best care possible.”

“It’s no surprise to me that St. Luke’s has been named one of America’s 50 Best Hospitals for the fourth year in a row,” said Bruce Blunt, St. Luke’s Hospital patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). “I feel that I am alive today because of the great services I’ve received from St. Luke’s. Everyone on the pulmonary services team I’ve met since 2001 has been caring and knowledgeable at every step.”

HealthGrades is an independent healthcare ratings organization, and it studied millions of Medicare hospitalization records from 1999 through 2008 across 26 procedures and conditions, from hip replacement to bypass surgery, to determine St. Luke’s ranks in the top one percent of all hospitals in the nation for quality outcomes. According to HealthGrades, patients admitted to an America’s 50 Best Hospital are more likely to have successful treatment without major complications.
