    I began treatment with Dr. Damien in February 2024. After having my first child, I experienced fertility issues and decided to try intrauterine insemination (IUI). I spent many early mornings there, and the staff were always friendly and helpful. Liz and Dr. Damien reassured me and helped me remain positive when I felt defeated. In May 2024, I learned I was pregnant with twins. This January, my husband and I welcomed our baby boy and girl. We are extremely grateful.

    I was at this facility for about two years. After surgery (lysis of adhesions and bilateral salpingectomy), two egg retrievals, and a failed transfer of my only embryo, I was told my egg quality was poor and that I needed to consider donor eggs. I switched to RMA. After 2 egg retrievals, I stored enough PGT-A-tested embryos and became pregnant within a year. The biggest red flag was that they performed surgery before even trying to obtain embryos. If you need to switch clinics, do it—or simply do not go here. Another issue is that every monitoring appointment included a specialist copay. With the same insurance, RMA never charged me for monitoring. Interesting....

    Dr. Perlman and his team are absolutely the best! We are fortunate to say that thanks to him, our baby girl is due in April! Going to Damien Fertility Partners was the best decision we ever made. I had a terrible experience at another clinic in Ocean County and had almost given up hope. I highly recommend Dr. Perlman and the entire team! They are compassionate, knowledgeable, and helpful. Thank you so much, Dr. Perlman!

    We will never tire of blessing and thanking Dr. Damien for helping us bring our child into the world 🙏 They were always so good to us; everyone from the doctor to the nurses was very kind 🙏🙏🙏🙏

    Damien Fertility Partners helped me become pregnant, and I am so grateful! I had tried on my own for 8 months without success and, because of my age, decided to have tests to see what was happening. I worked with Dr. Perlman from the beginning and had an excellent experience! We completed a series of tests, a polyp-removal procedure, 4 failed IUIs, and laparoscopy confirming stage 2/3 endometriosis. 2 months after surgery, I became pregnant during my fifth and final IUI! I could not have done it without my doctor and all the staff who helped me. Linda is also wonderful and had to deal with my fear of blood draws! The staff was always so kind and helpful, and I felt very safe there. When I had to graduate and transfer to an OB-GYN, it was a little frightening to go somewhere new after feeling so secure. I strongly recommend Damien Fertility Partners! They also successfully helped one of my best friends become pregnant! Many thanks to my doctor and the entire staff!!

    Thanks to Dr. Damian, we had our child in just 2 years. All the staff are friendly, and I recommend the clinic 👌✨️ Affordable prices.

    Thanks to Dr. Damian, after four years of infertility and when we had already lost hope, I had my beautiful baby. He made everything easier than we imagined. He and his entire team are wonderful. I highly recommend them. The doctor and nurses are very kind, and Carolina is especially lovely and caring ♥️

    Words cannot describe how wonderful this clinic is. We worked with Dr. Perlman and now have a two-week-old IVF miracle. Throughout our IVF journey, Dr. Perlman was caring, insightful, and kind. He made us feel like people, not ‘just a number’ at a clinic, as we had felt at some other centers in the area. We are incredibly grateful to Dr. Perlman because he gave us our son, whom we waited four years for. I recommend this fertility clinic 10/10 to anyone seeking not only highly professional care but also thoughtful care.

    Dr. Damien and his team are miracle workers. My husband and I changed clinics midway through our fertility journey and have just welcomed our daughter. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Damien. Thank you to Dr. Damien, Dr. Seigelstein, Liz, Micaela, Mariah, Michelle, Linda, and every staff member there. Every time I visited your clinic, I felt welcome and hopeful. Anyone looking to begin a fertility journey or preserve fertility for later in life should see Dr. Damien and his outstanding team.

    This review is long overdue! Dr. Perlman and his team are truly the best. I now finally have a beautiful four-month-old baby, all thanks to the love and support of everyone at Damien Fertility Partners. After everything it took to reach this point, we are deeply grateful to have found Dr. Perlman. I formed close relationships with Dr. Perlman, all the caring nurses, and the outstanding support team, and during my cycles I was in contact with them almost every day. Graduating and returning to my OB-GYN was very emotional! I will definitely return for our second sweet miracle and look forward to deepening my relationship with this team, who provide attentive care to every patient who enters the clinic.

    Dr. Perlman and his team are amazing! They were very patient, answered all our questions, and helped us understand insurance matters and more. Words cannot express how grateful we are for his help in growing our family! Our baby is due in mid-November, and we are thrilled. Thank you for everything💙

    100/10!!! I could write a book about why you should choose Damien Fertility! Dr. Perlman and his team are amazing! When he says he will be with you throughout, he truly means it. Under his care, you feel heard, valued, and secure. I thank heaven a thousand times that we found such wonderful people who treat you like family❤️

    If you need them to coordinate with a urologist, avoid this clinic if possible. We waited nearly three months for the office to respond about coordinating my husband's surgery. They essentially told me to stop calling and that they would call with an update. After a month with no progress, we switched to RMA about six weeks ago. The surgery has already been completed, and we are about to begin egg retrieval.

    I had an appointment two weeks ago but still have not received my results. I called twice and left two messages, but no one returned my calls. A terrible experience.

    Dr. Damien and his team are miracle workers. I went through two IVF cycles, five transfers, multiple miscarriages, and a great deal of heartbreak. But when I met Dr. Damien and his team, I knew they were the right people for me. He discovered that I had endometriosis, which other doctors had missed, and my first transfer after surgery was successful. I now have the sweetest seven-week-old baby boy. Dr. Damien and team, words cannot express how grateful I am to you.

    From the moment I met Dr. Damien and his team, I knew I would write this review one day. Now feels like the right time. They are simply the best—true fertility specialists on the East Coast. The best of the best. I cannot thank them enough for helping us create our future.

    It is truly an honor, a privilege, and a blessing to write this review for the best fertility clinic in the field (trust me, I researched it). As a 36-year-old woman in early menopause, I never imagined I would be able to say, “I am pregnant!” Thanks to Dr. Damien and his outstanding team, I can shout it from the rooftops! Dr. Damien never gave up on me. He promised he would get me pregnant no matter what, and he kept his promise. I had one failed intrauterine insemination (IUI), two surgeries, stage-three endometriosis (EGF), and two failed rounds of in vitro fertilization (IVF) with my own eggs. I never imagined I would need donor eggs, but because Dr. Damien recommended it, I trusted him. The process was relatively simple, and my first transfer succeeded! I still find it hard to believe. I will spend the rest of my life thanking God for leading me to this clinic and making all my dreams come true. This is more than a place; it is the best choice for all your fertility needs. I do not know why anyone would choose anywhere else. My heartfelt thanks!

    I had my first consultation with Dr. Perlman today, and I now feel even more confident that my care is in good hands. He was not only very thorough and thoughtful, but also helped me understand all the important information. The entire team is wonderful, and I feel hopeful. Thank you! Update: With Dr. Perlman's help and IUI, my husband and I now have a healthy, happy newborn son. None of this would have been possible without Dr. Perlman. Thank you!!!

    We will always be grateful to you for making our most precious dream of parenthood come true, thanks to the outstanding work of Dr. Damian and his excellent team, who gave us so much reassurance and confidence.

    Working with Dr. Perlman was wonderful! His kindness and positive energy deeply impressed me. His entire staff were warm and friendly. He truly cares about his patients, takes time to explain everything, and treats them with the professionalism expected of every doctor. I sincerely recommend him to everyone. A wonderful experience!

    Dr. Perlman is amazing! It was wonderful working with him. He made me feel comfortable, clearly explained his thinking, and communicated very well. I highly recommend Dr. Perlman and would absolutely see him again. If you are looking for an attentive, ethical doctor who genuinely cares about patients, Dr. Perlman is an excellent choice!

    Although I had an excellent experience with gynecologic surgeon Dr. Siegelstein, I cannot recommend Dr. Damian because he and his practice made repeated mistakes.

    When my wife and I first walked into Damien Fertility Partners, we felt lost and hopeless. We knew nothing about infertility and were afraid of what lay ahead. Everything changed when we met Dr. Perlman. From the first visit, he made us feel understood, heard, and cared for. He took the time to truly understand our situation and gave us hope we had not felt in a long time. We left his office with a clear plan and confidence that we had found the right doctor. With his continued guidance, my wife became pregnant last spring, and today we are holding our beautiful son. None of this would have been possible without Dr. Perlman and the exceptional team at Damien Fertility Partners. If you feel discouraged on your fertility journey, remember that your life can change here.

    After several difficult years trying to conceive, words cannot express how exceptional Dr. Perlman and the team have been. Infertility is an emotionally and physically exhausting journey, and we often felt hopeless. Yet they always treated us with compassion, patience, and unwavering support. They explained every step of treatment and answered every question, making us feel like family rather than just patients. We always felt heard, cared for, and confident that we were receiving the best care. After years of struggle, we finally received the news we had long awaited—we were pregnant! It still feels like a dream. We are deeply grateful for their expertise, dedication, and kindness in making this possible. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate fertility doctor who truly cares about patients, I highly recommend Dr. Perlman and the clinic. They changed our lives, and we will always be grateful.

    I first came to Damien Fertility Center in April 2025, not knowing what to expect and feeling very nervous. Dr. Damien made me feel welcome, and I knew I had found a doctor I could trust. From choosing IVF through egg retrieval and transfer, the entire team stayed by my side and supported me at every step. I am now expecting my precious baby, due April 23, 2026, and I could not be more grateful.

    Choosing a fertility clinic is one of life's most personal decisions, and I am so glad I chose this team. From the beginning, Dr. Perlman and his team never made me feel like just another patient in a 'fertility factory.' Instead, the entire team felt like family. During crucial moments, from egg retrieval to embryo transfer, their calm, positive, and supportive guidance reassured me. What truly touched me was their genuine care; at every visit, they asked about my family and how I was feeling. We truly felt like a team working toward the same dream. If you are looking for a caring, compassionate team to support you through this journey, look no further! Dr. Perlman and his team are the best partners you could ask for. Through every high and low, they always greeted me with a smile and shared my joy and excitement about welcoming this miracle baby!

    After 21 years of tremendous struggle, doubt, and countless unsuccessful diagnoses, God blessed me and led me to this clinic and Dr. Perlman. He was like an angel through whom God gave us hope and helped us achieve our greatest dream. Now, after three IVF cycles and one surgery, our twin daughters are three months old. This blessing is greater than anything we could have imagined. We thank God for everything and thank the clinic for caring for us so attentively. We felt everyone’s genuine concern. You are the best!!!

    I waited ten months to finally write this review, and I am so excited! With Dr. Perlman’s help, my husband and I conceived our son, who was born just a few days ago. Although my case may have been somewhat unusual because of polycystic ovary syndrome, Dr. Perlman patiently listened to my concerns and developed the treatment plan best suited to my situation. My husband and I will always be grateful for the joy he brought into our lives! I recommend him to anyone with fertility concerns.

    In June 2024, at age 40, I began treatment with Dr. Barry Perlman and the exceptional team at Damien Fertility Partners. Two years later, I officially graduated from their care because I was pregnant, and I could not be more grateful to this extraordinary team. Walking into an IVF clinic for the first time is understandably frightening because of the emotional and physical strain of the process. But from day one, I felt genuine care, support, and understanding from everyone at the clinic. Dr. Perlman, the nurses, and the clinic staff consistently treated me with kindness, compassion, professionalism, and patience, even on my most difficult days. What impressed me most about Damien Fertility Partners was the warmth throughout the clinic. I was always greeted with smiles and treated like family. During anxious and uncertain moments, I felt reassured knowing that I was receiving expert and compassionate care. The clinic’s level of expertise is outstanding. I would absolutely recommend Damien Fertility Partners, especially Dr. Perlman, to anyone beginning an IVF journey. I sincerely thank them for helping me reach this milestone.

    We chose Damien Fertility Partners specifically to receive care from Dr. Damien, but unfortunately our experience fell far short of expectations, especially considering the significant money and effort we invested. We paid $3,500 out of pocket for one intrauterine insemination (IUI) cycle and drove 40 minutes each way on the Garden State Parkway every other day to receive his care. It was extremely disappointing that we were not told until one week into the cycle that Dr. Damien would soon be traveling to Antarctica. Had we known in advance, we would have rearranged our schedule or postponed treatment altogether. During the two-week cycle, we saw four different doctors, two of whom did not know me or understand my medical history. Staff attitudes were inconsistent and sometimes rude, with poor patient communication. When I struggled to understand the highly technical medication-mixing instructions, I received frustration instead of support. They also failed to monitor prescription changes properly, placing me at risk of running out of medication during treatment. Unfortunately, the IUI failed, and we still had many questions about the process and testing. I was surprised that a post-procedure consultation was not included, particularly given the $3,500 out-of-pocket cost. During treatment, when I asked questions, Dr. Damien repeatedly encouraged me to “trust him.” I later learned that obtaining answers would require an additional $110 consultation fee. Had I known, I would have insisted on clearer explanations at the time. Overall, the experience felt severely lacking in communication, transparency, and patient support during an already emotional and complex process. I do not like leaving negative reviews, but this experience was very disappointing, and I hope sharing it helps others.

    上帝保佑这位医生。就诊期间我感觉很好；希望很快就能生下宝宝。

    我们真的无法用言语表达我们对巴里·珀尔曼医生及其出色团队的感激之情。从我们第一次预约开始，每个人都让我们感到宾至如归，倍受支持和关怀。 接待人员总是那么热情友好，乐于助人，护士们更是令人赞叹。她们亲切、耐心、体贴，总是抽出时间解答我们的疑问，消除我们的担忧。每一次互动都让我们感到安心，并确信自己得到了最好的照顾。此外，诊所的环境也始终保持得一尘不染。 珀尔曼医生以卓越的医术和丰富的经验，指导我们走过了整个生育之旅。组建家庭可能是一段充满情感波动和压力的经历，但拥有一个真正关心你的团队至关重要。 感谢你们帮助我们实现了拥有家庭的梦想，我们永远感激不尽。我们将永远铭记珀尔曼医生、接待人员和护士们，是他们改变了我们的人生。我们衷心推荐他们给所有正在经历生育之旅的人。我们迫不及待地想要再次回到诊所，迎接第二个宝宝的到来！

    不幸的是，我最近一次的就诊经历是我多年来最不被医生认可的一次。三年前，我找西格尔斯坦医生做了子宫内膜异位症的手术，术后恢复良好。由于病情复发，我再次去找她咨询下一步的治疗方案。就诊开始时，她问我想要她做什么，然后她表示对手术不感兴趣，并告诉我手术次数越多，病情只会越严重、越痛苦。她列举了我的诸多症状，却逐一否定，说这些症状与子宫内膜异位症无关（事实证明她错了）。由于没有其他有效的治疗方法，手术是唯一的选择，所以她说如果我愿意，她可以做（几个月后），但她反复强调，她认为我应该等到疼痛更加剧烈时再做手术。在咨询了另一位外科医生后，我认同西格尔斯坦医生的建议非常不专业，而且缺乏同理心。我不会推荐她治疗子宫内膜异位症。
