Getting to Damien Fertility Partners from Long Island
By Car from Nassau County
For patients in Nassau County — including communities such as Garden City, Great Neck, Manhasset, Mineola, New Hyde Park, and Hempstead — our Jersey City office is accessible via the Queens–Midtown Tunnel or the Brooklyn–Battery Tunnel, then across lower Manhattan to the Holland Tunnel or via the Goethals Bridge from Staten Island.
The drive from western Nassau County to our Jersey City office at One Journal Square Plaza typically takes approximately 45–60 minutes, depending on traffic, making it a manageable commute for patients who value a different kind of care experience. Parking is available near our office, and many patients find the drive straightforward once they know the route.
By Train and Transit
Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) passengers can take a direct train into Penn Station in Manhattan, then transfer to the PATH train, which runs directly from Penn Station (33rd Street) to Journal Square in Jersey City in approximately 30 minutes.
For patients comfortable with public transit, the door-to-door journey from many Nassau County stations to our Jersey City office can be completed in under 90 minutes. Our early morning hours, starting as early as 7:00 AM on weekdays, are designed to accommodate working patients who need to reach us before their day begins — by car or train.
Why Long Island Patients Choose Damien Fertility Partners
The Privately Owned Difference
Long Island is home to several large, well-known fertility clinic networks — but network size and patient experience are not the same thing. Corporate fertility centers often rotate patients between multiple physicians, operate at high volume, and deliver results through automated portals rather than direct, meaningful conversations.
At Damien Fertility Partners, you will always be seen by the same dedicated physician and supported by the same clinical team from your initial consultation through your final treatment. This kind of continuity is not a marketing promise — it is how we have operated for over 30 years, and it is what our patients consistently tell us they value most.
Accreditation and Outcomes That Speak for Themselves
Our practice is accredited by the FDA, the College of American Pathologists (CAP), and the New Jersey State Department of Health — with zero deficiencies — and we hold the REI Protect Seal of Approval for excellence in medical safety, laboratory quality, and patient care.
Our IVF success rates are reported publicly through SART and consistently rank among the highest in New Jersey and above the national average. For Long Island patients comparing options, these credentials represent a meaningful, independently verified standard of quality — not a marketing claim.
Fertility Treatments Available to Long Island Patients
Comprehensive Diagnostic Evaluation
Every patient journey at Damien Fertility Partners begins with a thorough, individualized fertility evaluation. For women, this includes hormonal blood work — AMH, FSH, estradiol, LH, thyroid, and prolactin — along with a transvaginal ultrasound and antral follicle count to assess ovarian reserve.
For men, a semen analysis is performed alongside hormonal panels when indicated. Both partners are evaluated simultaneously to eliminate delays and ensure that no contributing factor goes unexamined. From the very first appointment, you will receive a clear, plain-language explanation of your results and a personalized plan.
The Full Spectrum of Fertility Care
Long Island patients have access to the complete range of services Damien Fertility Partners provides: ovulation induction, intrauterine insemination (IUI), in vitro fertilization (IVF), egg freezing, embryo freezing, preimplantation genetic testing (PGT), and donor egg and donor sperm cycles.
For patients who require surgical intervention — including hysteroscopy, laparoscopy, or uterine septum resection — our in-house surgical team performs procedures directly within the practice. There are no outside referrals, no unfamiliar surgical centers, and no gaps in your care team. Everything happens in one place, with one team, on one coordinated timeline.
Understanding IVF Success Rates: What Long Island Patients Should Know
Age, Egg Count, and Why They Work Together
One of the most important — and most overlooked — factors in IVF success is how age and egg count interact, not independently. National data collected through the CDC shows that success is not a single number but a personalized probability based on age, diagnosis, and treatment history.
What many clinics fail to explain is that egg quantity does not equal egg quality — and that difference becomes more pronounced with age. For example, 10 retrieved eggs at age 32 may yield multiple viable embryos, while 10 eggs at age 38 may result in far fewer chromosomally normal embryos due to increased rates of aneuploidy — making a direct comparison of retrieval numbers between patients deeply misleading without age context.
Cumulative Success and the Role of Strategy
Research and clinical modeling consistently show that more eggs are typically required as age increases to achieve the same probability of live birth, which is why treatment strategy matters enormously. The CDC emphasizes that success should be viewed cumulatively: your total chance of a live birth improves meaningfully across multiple retrievals and transfers, not just a single cycle.
Banking embryos — which can be genetically tested — often offers more certainty than freezing eggs alone, especially in the late 30s and early 40s. Understanding how age, egg count, and cumulative success interact helps turn IVF statistics into clear, informed decisions about timing and treatment.
Per Transfer vs. Per Cycle — and Why It Matters
Success rates can be reported per embryo transfer, per retrieval, or per cycle started — and each metric tells a different story. Per-transfer rates tend to appear higher because they exclude cycles that never reached transfer, such as those canceled due to poor response.
The CDC also emphasizes that cumulative success — your total probability across multiple cycles — is often significantly higher than any single-cycle number, which is why their IVF Success Estimator models outcomes over repeated attempts. A transparent clinic will explain not just what their numbers are, but how those numbers are calculated. At Damien Fertility Partners, that transparency is standard.

5. How do Damien Fertility Partners’ IVF success rates compare to Long Island clinics?
Our success rates are reported publicly through SART and consistently rank among the highest in New Jersey and above the national average. We encourage all patients — regardless of where they are comparing — to review SART data directly and discuss what the numbers mean for their specific age, diagnosis, and treatment history. A transparent clinic will always support that conversation, and we do.

No referral is required. Long Island patients can contact Damien Fertility Partners directly to schedule a new patient consultation. We welcome self-referrals and are happy to answer preliminary questions by phone before your appointment.
7. Does Damien Fertility Partners offer second opinion consultations for Long Island patients?
Yes. If you have received a fertility diagnosis or treatment recommendation from a Long Island clinic and would like an independent expert review, our physicians are available for second-opinion consultations. Many patients find that a second perspective clarifies their diagnosis, opens up new treatment options, or simply gives them greater confidence in the path they are already on.
