IVF Near Red Bank, NJ | Damien Fertility Partners

Red Bank and Shrewsbury share more than a border. Red Bank was originally formed from parts of Shrewsbury Township in 1870, and the two communities remain connected by Route 35, local roads, and a shared position at the center of northern Monmouth County. 

For Red Bank residents seeking IVF, the nearest fertility clinic with a full treatment program, a CAP-accredited lab, and physician continuity at every appointment is 2 miles south on Shrewsbury Avenue.

Damien Fertility Partners is headquartered at 655 Shrewsbury Avenue, Shrewsbury, NJ 07702. The office is open Monday through Friday from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm, with on-site parking. The practice was founded in 1989 as East Coast IVF and was the first successful IVF program in Monmouth and Ocean County.

Two Miles, Full Service

The drive from downtown Red Bank to the Shrewsbury office takes approximately five minutes via Route 35 or Shrewsbury Avenue. NJ Transit rail serves the area through the Red Bank station and nearby Little Silver station on the North Jersey Coast Line. For patients who drive, the office has a dedicated on-site parking lot.

That proximity matters because IVF is not a single-visit procedure. A typical cycle requires 8 to 10 clinic visits over three to four weeks, with most appointments clustered in the early morning during the stimulation phase. A five-minute drive each way means patients can complete a monitoring appointment and still be at their desk, on a job site, or with their children by 8:30 am.

What Red Bank Patients Get at Damien Fertility Partners

Red Bank has a population of roughly 12,900, a median age of 39.4, and a Hispanic community that makes up 31% of the borough’s residents. There is no fertility clinic based within Red Bank itself, and the nearest alternatives with IVF capability are in Eatontown or Wall Township, both farther than the Shrewsbury office.

Damien Fertility Partners offers Red Bank residents the full scope of fertility treatment without referral to outside providers.

Physician continuity. The same doctor manages the entire cycle, from consultation through monitoring, egg retrieval, and transfer. That physician is either Dr. Miguel Damien (Harvard-trained, board-certified REI, fluent in Spanish, Castle Connolly Top Doctor six times) or Dr. Barry Perlman (board-certified REI, Fellow of ACOG, published researcher on endocrine disruptors and fertility). Dr. Perlman also offers virtual consultations for patients who prefer an initial conversation before visiting in person.

A CAP-accredited embryology lab. The lab holds accreditation from the College of American Pathologists (CAP), the FDA, and the NJ State Department of Health, all with zero deficiencies. It uses CHLOE, an AI-powered embryo-monitoring system by Fairtility, which continuously tracks embryo development and produces a developmental timeline for patients to review with their physician. 

In 2023, the practice reported an 81.8% live-birth rate per new patient among women under 35 and a 100% elective single-embryo transfer rate in that age group, according to SART data. Clinic-to-clinic comparisons should be interpreted with caution due to differences in patient populations.

In-house surgery at Riverview Medical Center. For patients who need surgical evaluation before or alongside IVF, Dr. Nina Seigelstein, a board-certified OB/GYN and minimally invasive surgery specialist, serves on the clinical team. 

Surgical procedures are performed at affiliated facilities, including Riverview Medical Center in Red Bank, Monmouth Medical Center in Long Branc, and Shrewsbury Surgical Center. 

Red Bank patients who require surgery do not need to travel outside their own community for that part of their care.

Bilingual care. Dr. Damien speaks fluent Spanish, and the practice employs Spanish-speaking staff across all three locations. The entire website is available in Spanish. The practice’s Diversity and Inclusion commitment includes no BMI-based limitations on care and defined pathways for LGBTQ+ patients and single parents by choice.

Beyond IVF

The Shrewsbury office offers a full range of fertility treatments, including IUI, IVF with fresh and frozen transfers, donor egg IVF through partnerships with several egg banks, donor sperm programs, preimplantation genetic testing (PGT), egg freezing with vitrification, gestational carrier IVF, family balancing, and LGBTQ+ family building, including reciprocal IVF for female couples.

For patients who work or live part-time in northern New Jersey or the NYC metro area, the practice also operates offices in Newark (Essex County) and Jersey City (Hudson County). All three locations share the same physicians, lab, and treatment protocols.

Insurance and Financial Support

New Jersey’s fertility insurance mandate requires qualifying group health plans covering 50 or more employees to cover up to four completed egg retrievals per lifetime. The 2024 expansion removed restrictions based on age, relationship status, and sexual orientation.

Damien Fertility Partners works with most insurance carriers and employs a dedicated bilingual Insurance Verification Specialist. CapexMD financing is available for patients who need it, with pre-approval within 24 hours. Medication discount programs through EMD Serono’s Compassionate Care Program (25 to 75% savings for eligible self-pay patients) and Merck’s Reuniterx program are also available.
