How Far Is Shrewsbury from Red Bank
Four miles on Route 35, roughly ten minutes in normal traffic. The office opens at 7am Monday through Friday, and the parking lot is right next to the building.
The early opening matters for treatment. A monitoring cycle means bloodwork and an ultrasound several mornings in a row, often at 7 or 7:30am. From Red Bank, that’s a short enough drive that you can be done and back before most offices open.
Patients come from Fair Haven, Rumson, Little Silver, Middletown, and other parts of Monmouth County. Shrewsbury sits close enough to all of them that it ends up being the practical choice for this part of the Jersey Shore.
What the First Visit Looks Like
The first appointment is an evaluation. That usually means baseline bloodwork, a pelvic ultrasound, and a semen analysis if there’s a male partner. The point is to understand what’s actually going on before anyone suggests a treatment path.
After that, the practice provides:
- Ovulation induction and monitoring, when you need help timing or producing healthy eggs
- Intrauterine insemination, often a first step for mild factors, single parents, or same-sex couples
- In vitro fertilization with fresh or frozen embryo transfer
- Donor egg and donor sperm programs
- Genetic testing of embryos before transfer, to screen for chromosomal differences
- Egg and embryo freezing for medical or personal reasons
- Gestational carrier coordination and minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, both done within the practice
Everything, including retrieval and transfer, happens in Shrewsbury. If you want to read up before coming in, the American Society for Reproductive Medicine explains each treatment in plain language.
The Lab Is in This Building
The embryology lab is here at Shrewsbury, not at a separate facility. That distinction matters more than it might seem.
The practice uses CHLOE by Fairtility, an AI system that monitors embryo development through time-lapse imaging inside the incubator. Because the embryos aren’t lifted out for manual checks, temperature and gas conditions stay stable the whole time. The team builds a continuous record of how each embryo develops, not a single daily photo, and that’s what informs the decision about which one to transfer.
One daily check can miss an embryo that divided abnormally during the night. Continuous imaging doesn’t.
The lab is run by Laboratory Director Frank Barnes, PhD, HCLD. It holds accreditation from the College of American Pathologists with zero deficiencies and meets FDA and New Jersey Department of Health standards. The practice is a member of the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology and reports outcomes under Clinic ID 2518.
One Doctor for the Whole Cycle
Fertility care works better when your doctor knows your history without being briefed at the start of every appointment. At Damien Fertility Partners, one physician oversees your cycle from the first consultation through every decision in it.
Routine monitoring, the early morning bloodwork and ultrasounds, may be handled by nurse practitioners Gloria Lopez or Liz Piercy, both AANP-certified family nurse practitioners. Egg retrieval and embryo transfer are always done by your physician.
Dr. Miguel Damien, Medical Director and founder, is a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist who trained at Harvard. He has practiced in Monmouth County for over 35 years, which means he has treated patients in this part of New Jersey longer than most fertility clinics in the state have existed. He has been named a Castle Connolly Top Doctor in the New York metro area.
Dr. Barry Perlman is a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist who focuses on polycystic ovary syndrome and ovarian aging. He sees patients by video as well as in person, which helps if your schedule makes every weekday appointment a negotiation. Dr. Nina Seigelstein is a board-certified OB/GYN and minimally invasive gynecologic surgeon. Procedures many clinics refer to an outside surgeon are handled within the practice.
The practice holds a 4.9 out of 5 rating on FertilityIQ across 26 verified reviews, placing it in the top 8% of fertility practices nationally.
Costs, Coverage, and Who the Practice Sees
Most major insurance plans are accepted. A coverage check happens before treatment starts, so you find out what your plan actually covers before you’re looking at a bill. Financing is available, and medication assistance programs can reduce out-of-pocket drug costs for eligible patients.
Some clinics set BMI thresholds that determine who can start care. This practice doesn’t. If you’ve run into that barrier elsewhere, it’s not one here.
Care is provided in English and Spanish. Dr. Damien is fluent in Spanish and the full website is available en español. LGBTQ+ family building is part of the regular practice, with reciprocal IVF for female couples, gestational carrier guidance for male couples, and support for single parents by choice.
To book a first visit, the How to Begin page has the intake form and explains what that first appointment covers. The office opens at 7am and the team follows up after you submit.
