The Silverman Center is a leading provider of gender selection methods that help families safely and effectively produce a child of a specific gender. Whether motivated by the desire to balance a family with predominantly one gender, avoid gender-based diseases or simply cater to a personal preference, the Silverman Center can offer proven methods of success.

Backed by 20 years of research, the Silverman Center methodology involves the combination of two techniques–sperm separation and IVF/PGD (in vitro fertilization and pre-implantation genetic diagnosis)– the Silverman Center has seen a tremendous increase in the number of couples who achieve their desired results. Indeed, by selecting sperm prior to fertilization, the process yields significantly more embryos of the desired gender resulting in far greater success rates than previously thought possible. The success behind the new technique is that sperm is selected prior to fertilization, yielding significantly more embryos of the chosen gender.

Dr. Silverman, whose practice focuses solely on  gynecology, fertility and gender selection, established the first free standing IVF center in the Northeast, and was responsible for the first IVF pregnancy outside of a University Hospital unit.

 

In 1987, after extensive research and study with Dr. Ericsson, Dr. Silverman began to offer the Ericsson Method of gender selection to his patients, a method that has been extremely successful in increasing the odds of a couple having a child of their desired sex.

Utilizing his extensive experience and expertise with in vitro fertilization, Dr. Silverman is now offering patients in vitro fertilization along with preimplantation genetic diagnosis (IVF/PGD). The Silverman Center’s gender selection techniques have helped thousands of couples have the families of their dreams.

 

Dr. Silverman graduated from medical school and simultaneously completed a doctorate in microbiology at the State University of New York in Buffalo, NY. He then completed a year of medical internship at the University of Michigan.

Dr. Silverman was selected to serve as a research associate at the National Cancer Institute at the National Institutes of Health. He then completed his residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at McGill University in Montreal Canada.

Dr. Silverman served as an Assistant Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Texas in San Antonio. He developed a keen interest in reproductive health issues and decided to pursue subspecialty training in reproductive endocrinology.  Upon completion of his training, he served as Director of the In-Vitro Fertilization program there.

In 1984, Dr. Silverman and his family moved to New York, and he has been in private practice in Manhattan and Westchester County since that time. Dr. Silverman established the first free standing IVF center in the Northeast, and was responsible for the first IVF pregnancy outside of a University Hospital unit.
In 1987, Dr. Silverman became interested in Dr. Ericsson’s work in gender selection.  After extensive study with Dr. Ericsson, Dr. Silverman began offering  Dr. Ericsson’s Method of gender selection to his patients. In thousands of cases, this procedure has been extremely successful in increasing the odds of a couple having a child of their desired sex.

Utilizing his extensive experience and expertise with in vitro fertilization, Dr. Silverman is now offering patients in vitro fertilization along with  preimplantation genetic diagnosis (IVF/PGD). IVF with PGD is extremely effective for family balancing because only embryos of the desired gender are transferred to the mother’s uterus.

Dr. Silverman’s practice is limited to gynecology, fertility and gender selection.
