About us
St. Luke's Hospital in St. Louis.
Dr. Sherman Silber is a renowned pioneer in microsurgery, infertility, and IVF. He performed the world’s first microsurgical vasectomy reversal, as well as the first testicle transplant, in the 70’s and now in the current century, the world’s first ovary transplant. He headed the clinical MIT team that first mapped and sequenced the Y chromosome in infertile men and invented sperm retrieval techniques for men who otherwise would have no sperm. Most recently he has perfected ovarian freezing and transplantation, extending the reproductive biological clock of women, and has recently addressed the age-old question of why the dinosaurs went extinct.
Dr. Silber’s patients come to St. Louis from every state in the U.S.A., all over Europe, South America, the Middle East, Asia, and Africa. He is the author of three medical textbooks, five best-selling books for the layman and more than 200 scientific papers on human infertility and reproduction. He has appeared numerous times on Donahue, Oprah, Charlie Rose, CNN, and NPR radio.
He always gives credit for his amazing surgical dexterity to the training he received during medical school from an uneducated but brilliant African American janitor [watch video] who washed instruments at the animal lab at the University of Michigan.
