Prenatal Selection Westchester, NY

You may be dreaming of carrying on the family name with a son, or you may want to balance your family of boys with a girl. Parents wishing to conceive either a boy or a girl no longer have to wait to see what the sex of their child will be. Dr. Andrew Silverman, MD in Westchester, NY uses proven methods of prenatal selection to empower parents.

DNA, which determines traits such as eye color and gender, is stored in rod-like packages called chromosomes. Each of your cells contains 23 chromosome pairs, half of which come from your father, and half of which come from your mother. The sex chromosomes determine gender. While males have an X chromosome paired with a Y chromosome, females have two X chromosomes. The mother always provides on X chromosome, while the father determines the gender by providing either an X or a Y. Dr. Silverman uses the Ericsson Method, a technique of gender selection, to create male or female embryos with 75% accuracy. For families wishing to conceive a boy, sperm with Y chromosomes are selected and paired with the egg to create a male embryo with an X Y pair. For families wishing to conceive a girl, sperm carrying X chromosomes are selected.

Dr. Silverman, who learned the Ericsson Method from its founder, has over 18 years of experience with this type of gender selection. He is also trained in Pre Implantation Genetic Diagnosis and In vitro fertilization.

The Ericsson Method allows families to:
- Avoid certain x-linked genetic diseases
- Provide gender balance
- Ensure that the family name is passed on by selecting to conceive a boy

Dr. Silverman completed an exhaustive coursework at the State University of New York, Buffalo, earning both an MD and a PhD in Microbiology. He continued on to the University of Michigan where he completed his internship. He then went to the National Institute of Health where he served as a Research Associate. He then did his residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at McGill University in Montreal. After this, he secured a place as an Assistant Professor in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department at the University of Texas in San Antonio. He ultimately completed a Fellowship in Reproductive Endocrinology and became the Director of the In Vitro Fertilization program in San Antonio.
