Family Balancing Westchester, NY

Have you been blessed with a baby girl, but you long to raise a boy as well? Dr. Andrew Silverman, MD in Westchester, NY makes family balancing possible with his proven methods of gender selection. Parents wishing to raise children of both genders no longer have to leave this up to chance.

Each embryo contains 46 rod-like packages called chromosomes which carry DNA. Half of the chromosomes come from the mother, while half come from the father, creating 23 chromosome pairs. Gender is determined by the sex chromosomes. While female embryos carry two X chromosomes, the male embryos carry an X chromosome paired with a Y chromosome. The egg always provides an X, while the sperm completes the pair with an X or a Y. The father, with his sperm, determines the gender. These differences in genetic make up between male and female embryos are used in the process of gender selection. Dr. Silverman uses both the Ericsson Method and Pre-Implantation Genetic Diagnosis to give families control over the gender of their child.

Dr. Silverman offers patients an array of services including

- The Ericsson Method for Gender Selection
- In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)
- Pre Implantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD)

Dr. Silverman, who carries a doctorate in Microbiology in addition to his medical degree, has over 18 years of experience in gender selection. His training includes the Ericsson Method and Pre-Implantation Genetic Diagnosis. Additionally, he also bears the distinction of starting the first center devoted to In Vitro Fertilization in the Northeast, outside of a university setting.
