Review of

Miguel Damien Damien Fertility Partners

I went to Dr. Damien as a second opinion after a few of my friends had success. The previous Dr wouldn’t work with me. He was open, clear with communication and set reasonable expectations. He explained everything thoroughly and really wanted to help me. I am very grateful for how far we have come even though we have a long road ahead. He gave me hope again that I can have a family.

The clinic [Damien Fertility Partners] is very organized and efficient. The nurses are kind and friendly. The staff over the phone is helpful and gets back to you immediately. Overall. It is an excellent experience with each visit...My uterus was extremely small so Dr. Damien placed me on a hormone protocol for six months. I recently had an HSG to determine if it worked. With the HSG awe found I had a severely enlarged and scarred tube that needs to come out asap. I am in a little bit of shock but Dr. Damien explained the whole procedure that will be happening and what will happen next.

Dr. Seungdamrong always took the time to discuss our options with us and was always patient and welcoming with any questions I had during our appointments as well as when I would call to ask questions...She has a great bedside manner...always tells us that we can contact her with any questions... She is there at all our appointments when a Dr. is needed...You can tell that she cares very much about what she does and I've never felt like a number but as a patient.

Their [Damien Fertility Partners] office hours worked well with ours and they were always so helpful when making appointments. If I ever had any emergency questions during non office hours or on the weekends I can be connected to the operator that will let a nurse or Dr. know to contact me within an hour to assist me...The clinic has 3 locations; Newark, Jersey City and Shrewsbury which made it easy for my husband and I to visit 2 of the 3 locations.

Dr. Seungdamrong is an excellent RE. She has a great bedside manner and always thoroughly explains everything to us and always tells us that we can contact her with any questions.

Describe amber cooper's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Damien Fertility Partners.

Dr Seungdamrong's approach was for eSET. She explained to us the risks of possibly carrying multiples and how she felt that a single embryo transfer would be better for the health of the child and mother over the risk of carrying twins and possibly risking an early pregnancy or health of 1 or more of the children and mother.

Miguel Damien Damien Fertility Partners

On our first appointment we were able to see Dr. Damien. There was no other doctor to see in this office except for him. He was very specific in his tailored approach to our problem of infertility... I had a polyp, bilateral ovarian cysts and other issues. Dr. Damien recommended with an HSG to check my fallopian tubes. At this time I had insurance that covered IVF. When we went into surgery the plan was to have surgery to correct the fallopian tubes. However after the surgery I was told the fallopian tubes had to be removed becaused they were adhered to the bowels.

I didn't interact too much with the nursing staff [at Damien Fertility Partners].

How was your experience with Miguel Damien at Damien Fertility Partners?

I was having vaginal bleeding for two weeks at a time and pelvic pain. I have a history of endometriosis. Other doctors could not figure out what the issue was. Dr. Damien did an ultrasound and figured out those issues at the first visit! I had a polyp, bilateral ovarian cysts and other issues. Dr. Damien recommended with an HSG to check my fallopian tubes. At this time I had insurance that covered IVF. When we went into surgery the plan was to have surgery to correct the fallopian tubes. However after the surgery I was told the fallopian tubes had to be removed becaused they were adhered to the bowels.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Miguel Damien at Damien Fertility Partners?

Dr. Damien is upbeat and positive. However I wonder if he was to upbeat and positive. I know that anyone going in for surgery on there fallopian tubes knows there is a chance that the tubes will wind up being removed. However Dr. Damien was also recommending that we use my eggs when every other doctor I had seen was saying that I should use donor egg or donor embryo. After reading how other patients with endometriosis had failed egg retrievals I was weary of not skipping right to donor embryo. With my insurance I only got four tries.

Describe your experience with Damien Fertility Partners.

Dr. Damien did a great job with the surgery to remove cysts, a polyp and tubes. For the first time in years with endometriosis my stomach was not a big bloated unpregnant belly. Unfortunately we lost our insurance that covered IVF or we may have finished with Dr. Damien's office for IVF. However if you are looking for a small personal clinic compared to other fertility centers Dr. Damien's office is the place to go.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Miguel Damien at Damien Fertility Partners.

At the time I had a marketplace healthcare plan. I had a $250 deductible for the surgery center the Dr. Damien used. I only had a co-pay for office visits. The shrewsbury Surgery Center where I had my surgery was very nice.

Review of

Miguel Damien Damien Fertility Partners

Dr. Damien is very thorough and explains everything. If you don't understand anything, ask questions right away and he will take the time to answer them. Despite trying to absorb a whirlwind of information at our first consultation, he was patient with me understanding his treatment plan for us... When we went through our miscarriage, we never once felt like we were treated as though it was something "common". He has been caring and empathetic throughout our treatments.

Staff [at Damien Fertility Partners] is always friendly, great with ordering medications that have to be ordered from pharmacies specizing in fertility meds, and responsive to phone calls that I have made to them. The nurse's line always goes to voicemail but there's been times where I needed to speak to a nurse right away so I went through the operator and a nurse was put on the phone for me. We only had one instance of miscommunication amongst nursing staff, which was over a timespan of 2 months but it was resolved and we were able to move ahead. Definitely follow-up with tests results if you don't hear from them.

Despite trying to absorb a whirlwind of information at our first consultation, he was patient with me understanding his treatment plan for us. Even though we have only been in treatment with him since August 2016, we feel he is taking a more aggressive approach with our treatments, which is something we are very grateful for.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Miguel Damien at Damien Fertility Partners?

If you don't understand something, don't be afraid to ask questions. Be honest with your medical history.

Describe the specific things that went wrong at Damien Fertility Partners.

My husband was supposed to have bloodwork, semen analysis and genetic testing all in one visit. After a month of calling, trying to get test results, turns out no bloodwork was ever done but was never told every time I called. We got the results by mail in the lab but still took another few weeks to hear from the office. This was right after our miscarriage so getting my husband's test results depended on our next steps to try again.

Even when he has bad news, he has a way of saying it so compassionately. Dr. Damien makes sure that you understand the good, the bad and the ugly. I honestly could not ask for a better doctor.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Miguel Damien at Damien Fertility Partners?

Ask as many questions as you want and if you don't understand something, ask him to re-explain it. He takes the time to make sure that you know what is going on and why his plan of care is what it is.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Miguel Damien at Damien Fertility Partners?

The staff and doctors all know you by name the second you open the door. Never once did I feel like I wasn't important and that Dr. Damien and his staff didn't care about me. Everyone is just so warm and inviting and caring. They understand that they are dealing with a very emotional thing and that a lot of times their patients are dealing with high hormone levels. Their patience, understanding and caring nature is wonderful.

Describe the protocols Miguel Damien used in your cycles at Damien Fertility Partners and their degree of success.

Treatment strategies and protocols were all different. The drugs selected often were chosen by cost since there are some that do the same thing. Protocols were adjusted throughout the process and with each cycle. You wouldn't necessarily take the same dosage of the drugs each day, it depended on your blood test results and ultrasounds. The IUI and IVF protocols are very similar up until the actual IUI/egg retrieval. My plan of action was different than most because of my medical history, but for the average person, it is daily injections for about 2 weeks mainly at night and then 48 hours before the IUI or egg retrieval, a trigger shot in the butt. IUI is basically just using a turkey baster for lack of a better description. IVF is the medicines for 2 weeks, followed by the egg retrieval (a procedure in which you are put to sleep to do but is done in the office), and then waiting to find out how many embryos you have and if they survive 5 days and then testing them to see if they are normal if selected. I cannot speak further as we did not have any viable embryos.

Describe your experience with your nurse at Damien Fertility Partners. (Assigned nurse: Kristina, Michelle, Mikayla)

Everyone at Dr. Damien's office is wonderful! They are polite, caring, compassionate, etc. When you have a question, they respond to you with an answer and they always check everything with the doctor before they respond. You know that you are getting care tailored to your specific case and not just the typical "oh try this" answer. You truly feel that all of the staff care about you, why you are there and what you are going through.

Describe your experience with Damien Fertility Partners.

Damien Fertility Partners is an amazing fertility clinic. The care and compassion they show to each patient is unmatched. Everyone knows who you are the second you walk through the door and you don't feel like it's because they know you have an appointment. It truly feels like they are in this with you and want to make sure that you are a success story. You are treated like a family member and you know that your care is truly tailored to you and not just some protocol that everyone else follows. I couldn't imagine going anywhere else and would recommend Dr. Damien and his staff to anyone!

Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at Damien Fertility Partners.

In a way, it was a cattle call because you arrive and sign-in and then are taken in the order that you arrive. There are usually about 3-5 other people at the clinic at the same time as you because they give a 2 hour window for you to come. Giving you this window allows people who have to be at work or have something else, plenty of time to be seen and not be late. Once you are signed in, it feels like the furthest thing from a cattle call. You wait in the waiting room to be called and then the attention is all on you. When the nurse and doctor come in, it never feels rushed or like they don't want to see you. They take their time and make sure that you understand everything.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Miguel Damien at Damien Fertility Partners.

Medicines for IVF were around $6,000.

Describe Miguel Damien's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Damien Fertility Partners.

In my case, Dr. Damien suggested single embryo transfer. I do know that he does not prefer multiple embryo transfer for the most part because it can result in high-order multiples.

Emily Holden Damien Fertility Partners

Dr. Holden has the most wonderful demeaner. Always made me feel like I was her only patient. She gave us hope and also explained all our options. We never felt like a number at this clinic and she was always there to help with any questions we had...she was warm, caring and acknowledge all we had gone through the last year, prior to working with her

I suggest everyone I know to check Damien Fertility out and to talk to Dr. Holden. She really is the answer to our prayers...Their strengths are definitely their locations...I would say that is a weakness for Damien, however I loved how small the clinic was, the portal did not fully phase me. Everything is written by hand. I would have loved to see photographs during my receival cycle, however it was the best cycle we had.

How was your experience with Emily Holden at Damien Fertility Partners?

We came to Dr. Holden has a referral from a friend after leaving another clinic. From the 1st appointment she was warm, caring and acknowledge all we had gone through the last year, prior to working with her. She recommend Endometriosis testing to see if this is the cause of anything, while I was unsure, my prior clinic did not suggest. It was this appointment I knew we would be getting somewhere. She also did not suggest IVF off the bat, like our prior clinics. She suggested treatments, possibly surgery and then an IUI, unless I wanted IVF. She always gave her opinion with my options but said she will do whatever we want. It was a breathe of fresh air. She is so kind and has wonderful bedside manor. I suggest everyone I know to check Damien Fertility out and to talk to Dr. Holden. She really is the answer to our prayers.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Emily Holden at Damien Fertility Partners?

Never be afraid to ask questions, she will help answer them all as best as she can with her honest input.

Describe the protocols Emily Holden used in your cycles at Damien Fertility Partners and their degree of success.

Before our embryo transfer I wanted to do an ERA, due to our prior failed transfer, with another clinic. She mentioned to have me think it over before deciding, however she did not think I needed it. She did 2 transfer cycles with her, the first one was canceled - the estrogen patches were not working with my body. We went on another protocol which went well. She mentioned if this cycle didn't work out she would convert the transfer to an ERA. However, if my lining was good, she would go with the transfer, I agreed and trusted her.

Describe your experience with the nursing staff at Damien Fertility Partners.

I had spoken with 3 of the nurses during my retrieval and transfer protocols. Each nurse was different, one in particular was fairly brash. However the other 2 were wonderful, very helpful and so sweet.

Describe your experience with Damien Fertility Partners.

Their strengths are definitely their locations. I am over an hour from their main location. They are able to accommodate you to another location that fits your schedule easier, which was great. Coming from a much larger clinic with a portal, was really nice. I would say that is a weakness for Damien, however I loved how small the clinic was, the portal did not fully phase me. Everything is written by hand. I would have loved to see photographs during my receival cycle, however it was the best cycle we had.

Emily Holden Damien Fertility Partners

My first cycle was under the assumption I was unexplained infertility, but Dr. Holden did raise her concerns about endometriosis and my options. She allowed me to make the decision to hold off on the endometriosis surgery and go straight for IVF after the two failed IUIs. ... My doctor always completed my monitoring appts herself. ... Dr. Holden followed my request as I asked but reminded me of risks and told me she will be as aggressive as possible without putting me at risk. Whenever Dr. Holden gives me her opinion I hear in her voice she is giving me her true thoughts, I trust what she says and I go with her suggestions everytime.

The clinic [Damien Fertility Partners] is clean, warm, accomodating, and modern. I've never waited more than 15 minutes, but most commonly I'm only 5 minutes waiting. Everything is under one roof, so I don't need to go to a bunch of different places for lab work, procedures, ultrasounds, etc. ... On the rare occasion I couldn't make the [appt] window - they would accommodate me. My doctor always completed my monitoring appts herself.

How was your experience with Emily Holden at Damien Fertility Partners?

Dr. Holden is VERY thorough. She goes over all options with you and gives you her suggestions and reasoning why. She also allows you to make the decision and showcases through her actions that she is in full support of whatever your decision might be. Dr. Holden always made me feel and made it clear that I am in full control of my cycle and how I want to get pregnant.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Emily Holden at Damien Fertility Partners?

Make sure you are honest with her on your wants and expectations - she will support you and try to make/exceed your expectations.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Emily Holden at Damien Fertility Partners?

She got to know me personally and always remembered me. Asked me how my dogs were, my house, etc. She always spent time with me to see if I had more questions, called me to check up on me, etc.

My first cycle was under the assumption I was unexplained infertility, but Dr. Holden did raise her concerns about endometriosis and my options. She allowed me to make the decision to hold off on the endometriosis surgery and go straight for IVF after the two failed IUIs. My original dosage was 150 Gonal - F, 1 menopure, 1 cetrotide daily. For my second IVF round, she knew what we were dealing with as I was diagnosed with endometriosis through having the surgery prior to this cycle. Her original dose to start was 200 Gonal-F, 1 Menopure, 1 Cetrotide. After a few days and some bloodwork - she increased the dose to 225 Gonal-F and left the rest the same. I did ask her if we can be aggressive in this cycle. Since COVID and not needing to travel like I normally do for work, this is the perfect time to be aggressive as I will be completely working from home. Dr. Holden followed my request as I asked but reminded me of risks and told me she will be as aggressive as possible without putting me at risk. Whenever Dr. Holden gives me her opinion I hear in her voice she is giving me her true thoughts, I trust what she says and I go with her suggestions everytime.

Describe your experience with your nurse at Damien Fertility Partners. (Assigned nurse: Micaela, Michelle, Claudia, Jennifer, Jamie, Liz, Kiersten, )

I love all these ladies! I've never had a bad encounter with any nurse or staff member at the office. They are always kind, compassionate, down to earth, I could keep going! They always remember my name who I am, ask me about work, etc. I feel at home at the office with the entire staff.

Describe your experience with Damien Fertility Partners.

The clinic is clean, warm, accomodating, and modern. I've never waited more than 15 minutes, but most commonly I'm only 5 minutes waiting. Everything is under one roof, so I don't need to go to a bunch of different places for lab work, procedures, ultrasounds, etc.

Describe your experience with your monitoring appointments at Damien Fertility Partners.

Never ruined my schedule and most of the time, they worked with me. On the rare occasion I couldn't make the window - they would accommodate me. My doctor always completed my monitoring appts herself.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Emily Holden at Damien Fertility Partners.

After I hit my deductible, I was covered - $1500. I sadly hit my OOP Max for medications, so that will no longer be covered, but the office is helpful in finding me the best discounts if needed for future cycles.

Describe Emily Holden's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Damien Fertility Partners.

Given my age, my doctor prefers 1 egg. I asked about multiple eggs for the second round and she is open to it but wants to see the eggs retrieved before we both make the decision together.

Miguel Damien Damien Fertility Partners

Dr. Damien is an extraordinary man. He’s brilliant, compassionate, and amazing at what he does. When I first met him I felt like he rushed appts but then I realized that he just talks really fast by nature. He’ll stay with you for as long as you need and answer as many questions as you have. I can’t tell you the number of times the whole infertility process overwhelmed me emotionally and he stood by my side with a box of tissues and consoled me rather than leaving me to go to the next patient.

The nursing staff at damien fertility is top notch. They were so amazing, informative and comforting during tough times. They felt like friends and family.... They are so efficient like a well oiled machine. Go early during monitoring if you have to get to work on time. Don’t ever hesitate to call them about anything. They’re extremely helpful and welcoming. Take advantage of the snacks and coffee in the kitchen while you wait!

I can’t tell you the number of times the whole infertility process overwhelmed me emotionally and he stood by my side with a box of tissues and consoled me rather than leaving me to go to the next patient. This is also why if he was ever running behind on appts I was never upset because it just meant he was caring for another patient as he had me so many times. Cannot day enough good things about this man and what he has done for my family. It was a long, long road but we finally had success with him twice now!

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Miguel Damien at Damien Fertility Partners?

Don’t be intimidated by his brilliance. He he’s talking too fast he’s not rushing you. That’s just how he talks and ask him to repeat or go over anything. He’ll be happy to! If he’s running late it’s because he’s taking the time to fully explain to someone else just like he’ll do to you. He pours his whole self into each of his patients.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Miguel Damien at Damien Fertility Partners?

Dr damien and his staff were so kind and personable the entire time. We often talked about our personal lives outside of the day to day medical info. It made me feel like they really cared about me and my family.

Miguel Damien Damien Fertility Partners

Dr. Damien is an excellent doctor. He is friendly and speaks very clearly. He answers all of your questions with patience and compassion. I could tell that he was hurt and upset when my transfers didn't work. He also did not judge me at all for being part of the LGBTQ community - in fact he never even questioned it and we were treated as any other couple would be. Dr. Damien was there for every visit. I would even call late at night to leave a message for the nurses and he would answer the office phone!

It's a beautiful, clean, newer facility. The office [Damien Fertility Partners] is very comforting and it feels like a home away from home. The nurses and staff are very nice and they know you by name. It is an emotional rollercoaster but they do everything they can to make you feel comfortable. There is even a hospitality station with water, coffee, hot chocolate, and snacks! I always get water before blood work and it helps calm me down if I am nervous!

Miguel Damien Damien Fertility Partners

[Dr. Damien is] very good about explaining everything involved and he doesn’t sugar coat expectations. However, he really pushes genetic testing, and we opted to do both a fresh embryo transfer and genetically test the rest and he’s trying to talk us out of that decision...For IUI we did 2 “supraovulation” cycles with injectables. I was seen every other day for bloodwork and ultrasound (which he did). This was because we have unexplained infertility, so clomid doesn’t really help....He does eSET because he says the multiple transfer disk of twins is 50% which can be dangerous on both embryos and the mother and result in miscarriage

They [Damien Fertility Partners Nursing Staff] remember names and cycles you’re doing. They talk about non-fertility stuff (which I appreciate) when they’re in the room with you...It’s beautiful. I hate calling because you have to select numbers and leave messages and wait for them to call you back, which can be frustrating. The care coordinator Mikayla is fantastic and really tries to get you the best prices...Approximately $1300 IUI. Meds are expensive at 2k/shot gonal F. $13175 IVF with 1 transfer and genetic testing. Lab cost of genetic testing embryos is $2k for 6-8 embryos

Miguel Damien Damien Fertility Partners

Dr. Damien is INCREDIBLY talented and an expert in his field. You may wait a while for an initial consult appointment but it is definitely worth it. His knowledge and confidence takes away some of the stress my husband and I felt in this whole process. I fully trust him to do what is best for me.... For my IUIs I was on injectable meds. I took 75IU of Gonal-F for about 12 days, with .25mg Cetrotide once my follicles were developing well.

This clinic [Damien Fertility Partners] is very clean, professional, inviting and state of the art. There is a strong staff working with Dr. Damien, including his partner doctors- Dr. Aimee and Dr. Holden. Dr. Holden performed one of my IUIs and did an excellent job comforting me during the procedure. I have only seen Dr. Damien for my IVF retrieval cycle which has been great so far. He makes me feel like he has everything under control, and he’s quickly able to recall details

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Miguel Damien at Damien Fertility Partners?

Describe the protocols Miguel Damien used in your cycles at Damien Fertility Partners and their degree of success.

For my IUIs I was on injectable meds. I took 75IU of Gonal-F for about 12 days, with .25mg Cetrotide once my follicles were developing well. To trigger, I was on between 5000-10,000 units of Novarel. During the two week wait, I was on Endometrin vaginal progesterone suppositories. I am in my first cycle of IVF: I started at 300IU of Gonal-F for the first three days, then moved up to 450IU Gonal-F for the remainder leading to my trigger. I’ve been on 150IU Menopur, with .25mg Cetrotide beginning on day 7 of the cycle. I anticipate starting Lupron and hCG trigger in the next few days.

Describe your experience with your nurse at Damien Fertility Partners. (Assigned nurse: Micaela)

Dr. Damien did not suggest we transfer more than one embryo because of my age and our diagnosis. He said we are not at the point yet where we would need to consider a multiple embryo transfer.

amber cooper Damien Fertility Partners

She [Dr. Seungdamrong] was friendly, patient, able to walk us through the details of each procedure. She took her time answering our questions, she was available by phone and was honest in the results we could expect through each step...Her first suggestion was to try a few IUI procedures because the tests so far had shown I did not have any tube blockage or ovary cysts

My first IUI cycle [at Damien] I showed up for the insemination and the nurse asked me if I took the egg release and I had never been told of that being a part of the procedure and I had never received the script for it. Having to pay out of pocket for that procedure with such an integral piece of the puzzle missing was very frustrating...The staff as a whole is friendly, well organized and easy to communicate with.

How was your experience with amber cooper at Damien Fertility Partners?

She was very detailed in her explanation of what each test would involve and it’s purpose early on. During appointments and testing she helped put my fears at ease. Her gentle nature sometimes may have given me some false hope early one, but I still appreciated her gentle nature. Especially in a new situation like the one my husband and I found ourselves in. She always made sure she gave us time to discuss options, or make decisions, asked questions to provoke some conversation when we didn’t know what to ask.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of amber cooper at Damien Fertility Partners?

Just to be proactive early on, some steps of the IUI process I think I could have asked more questions when I was confused. Be your own advocate.

I love Dr. Damien. I think he’s the best fertility doctor but because of that he’s very busy so he can seem rushed sometimes. He has been a fertility doctor for decades and nothing can replace experience which is another reason why I believe he is so good. He seems to really care about his patients and when he focuses on your case he really individualizes your care.... He can be off putting at times so be prepared for that.

They [Damien Fertility Partners] seem to be very busy and so you must be An advocate for yourself and keep track of your own progress.... [Nursing Staff] Most are nice but 1 is a little less compassionate.... Strengths- dr Damien is the best fertility doctor in my opinion. He is straight forward with you which is off putting for some. Weaknesses - he’s so busy because he’s so good. There can be long wait times & he is rushed with you sometimes.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Miguel Damien at Damien Fertility Partners?

When I lost my first baby, Dr. Damien hugged me and told me we’d get this to work. My care was individualized before I got pregnant with my daughter. This time I’m doing ivf and I feel kind of like a number only because it seems like he’s so busy. But I still think he’s the best fertility doctor.

Describe the protocols Miguel Damien used in your cycles at Damien Fertility Partners and their degree of success.

The first time I saw Dr. Damien he gave me several options starting with iui to ivf. I was hesitant to do invasive procedures so I did several iui’s that failed, some were natural cycles and others were with clomid. I got pregnant on a natural iui cycle but lost that baby. Dr. Damien felt that injectables would produce a pregnancy but I was hesitant and he was fine with letting me decide on what to do. After that I did an iui with clomid which failed and then an iui with injectables. The iui with injectables resulted in my daughter. Trying to have baby #2 I had a laporascopy because during my c section with my daughter the dr. Noted issues with my right Fallopian tube. Dr. Damien suggested a laporscopy or start with iui & injectables. Since he had gained my trust with baby #1 I asked him what he suggested & he said laporascopy. I’m glad I got it because I found out that I didn’t have a right Fallopian tube, my right ovary was adhesed to the back of my uterus & my left Fallopian tube was completely blocked. Dr. Damien informed me that we could do 2 iui with injections but he wasn’t sure if my 1 tube was going to work probably. After surgery I started with an iui with injections which was unsuccessful. So I opted to go to ivf. My first cycle was not successful, we had no embryos. Dr Damien was very apologetic and is adjusting my next protocol.

For each of my transfers, my hormone therapy was different and achieved the desired results to get me to transfer. I was in full-blown menopause when I visited him [Dr. Miguel Damien] for the first time, yet I had not started my family.

The staff [at Damien Fertility Partners] is kind and the waiting experience is comfortable. Every time I called with a question or concern, it was addressed with a return call the same or next day. The clinic is a well-oiled machine. However, the wait time for additional ultrasounds after complications can be a bit long due to the fact that the doctor also has surgery on certain days. When making such appointments the nature of the schedule is clearly communicated to the patient.

How was your experience with Miguel Damien at Damien Fertility Partners?

Dr. Damien is extremely knowledgeable and caring. He pays attention to detail, and helps the patient through one step at a time without overwhelming. I was in extremely good hands with Dr. Damien. His professional skill and knowledge make him one of the most trusted people in my life. Highly recommended.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Miguel Damien at Damien Fertility Partners?

Go in with an open mind and ask questions. He gives you options, but crafts a recommended personal care plan for you that is based on all the evidence of your situation even though he won't burden you with all the details unless you ask for them.

During treatment, were you treated like a number or a human with Miguel Damien at Damien Fertility Partners?

The team was very proactive and thorough. Every visit, I was met with caring and concern.

I was aging and my system needed different tactics to be ready. His adjustments to my protocols in each subsequent try resulted in pregnancy twice. The cohort of donor eggs I was using for the two transfers after my successful pregnancy were not viable. He did everything right. The second miscarriage resulted in a fetal matter testing and it was found that the embryo would not survive. If I wasn't so strapped for funds from those two procedures and the failed donor eggs, I would have tried again. Just cannot afford it especially since I'm down $20,000 already from the two failed pregnancies. I aged out of insurance coverage for the IVF portion and now cannot afford to try for another child.

When making such appointments the nature of the schedule is clearly communicated to the patient. It appears the clinic has a schedule for every anticipated appointment for a routine protocol and has just a little wiggle room for additional visits (like when an additional ultrasound is necessary or a miscarriage is imminent and extra examinations are needed). Overall, one needs to be understanding when complications arise. Not every case will need additional visits.

Describe the costs associated with your care under Miguel Damien at Damien Fertility Partners.

$2,700 transfer $1,800 ICSI and assisted hatching Co-pay for visits and Bloodwork From an outside clinic, I used frozen donor eggs at $11,000/6 eggs $200-400 embryo storage

Describe Miguel Damien's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Damien Fertility Partners.

My doctor recommends two embryos in transfer, whenever possible, but no more.

Miguel Damien Damien Fertility Partners

Dr. Damien never loses sight of the fact that he is creating families and making dreams come true. He is a great person to his patients as well as being a brilliant doctor...He always recommended IVF for me from the start and I didn’t listen. I wasn’t psychologically ready for it. Instead, I had failed 2 IUIs. Finally, I followed his advice, had a surgery for endometriosis, and the IVF cycle Dr. Damien had been telling me to do from the start. IVF worked on the first try! And I have a bunch of embryos if I want to try again.

Clinic [Damien Fertility Partners] is gorgeous. Brand new facility with state of the art equipment and a great snack/coffee bar that my husband raided on many visits!! They also are amazing with facilitating pharmacy communications. There are motivational baby books with success stories and pictures that remind patients of the goal!!...The nurses were on point. They are so hard working and Dr. Damien has had many of them on his staff for YEARS. They were all fantastic.

How was your experience with Miguel Damien at Damien Fertility Partners?

I always felt that I was in the most skilled hands with Dr. Damien. He inspires trust through his bedside manner and - more importantly- his results. I wouldn’t think of going to anyone else for treatment.

What's one piece of advice would you give a prospective patient of Miguel Damien at Damien Fertility Partners?

Trust his advice and experience. He knows what he is doing.

I paid out of pocket because I work for a small employer and fertility treatment was not covered. It hurt. But it worked. I have my child. And Dr. Damien is the best. He knows what he’s doing.

Describe Miguel Damien's approach to eSET (elective single embryo transfer) vs. multiple embryo transfer at Damien Fertility Partners.

Dr. Damien always said “one healthy baby is the goal.” I followed his advice although i was terrified of the prospect of multiples and transferred 2 fresh embryos (which he advised based on my age, risk factors, etc) and I succeeded in having my one healthy baby!! His advice works. Don’t question the master.

Miguel Damien Damien Fertility Partners

Dr Damien is very good at his job and has amazing success rates. We were a little disappointed though that given that I didn’t have Diminished overran reserve we only got one embryo that didn’t make it to day 5. I was really expecting better results especially given his reputation. He is very fased paced and I would have liked the process to be explained more in the beginning since it’s a huge learning curve.... One cycle of birth control.

They [Damien Fertility Partners] had everything in one place, I didn’t have to go to other locations for tests. When you call the office though, there is only ever an option to leave an message and it could be hours before They call you back.... I felt like a number with them [nursing staff]. Not much emotional support or information from them.... The front office staff were very personable and remembered detail of my life. His main IVF nurse and I didn’t really click, but she was very nice. Dr.Damien seemed very busy.

Miguel Damien Damien Fertility Partners

He[Dr Miguel Damien] spends so much time with you throughout the process. He has the best bedside manner of any doctor I've been treated by. He's just an amazing person!...He was present at every visit & reviewed everything I needed to know very carefully.

I was beyond happy with the clinic, so it's hard to say there were weaknesses...I wasn't too happy with my care coordinator for most of the experience. I didn't want to say anything & cause trouble for her. I was finally upset enough one day & spoke with Dr. Damien. Things seemed to be much better with her for the most part after that. The coordinator calls with test results, medication info, follow up plans. She always followed protocol, but was a little difficult about doing more than expected/answering questions.

Describe the protocols Miguel Damien used in your cycles at Damien Fertility Partners and their degree of success.

I'm unsure of medication names...I went through 2 cycles of injections for egg retrieval. The 1st retrieval didn't yield enough eggs...very surprisingly because I have PCOS. He increased dosages on certain meds for the 2nd round, which made it successful. My egg reserve is low, but the quality is good, so he expressed that he felt confident that even though the number was low, there was still lots of hope for a pregnancy.

Miguel Damien Damien Fertility Partners

He [Dr Miguel Damien] talked about the most aggressive and the least aggressive ways to have a baby. He was pushing more aggressive ways before trying the least aggressive at first...It was a long time ago. He was pleasant enough. My mom was not crazy about him but I don't remember why. Maybe it was his bedside manner she didn't like but I thought it was fine. As a patient I was comfortable. He ordered a lot of tests and they made sense and I learned that I had to have a donor that did not carry the cystic fibrosis gene.

Miguel Damien Damien Fertility Partners

Dr Damien treated me like I was the only person he was seeing for the day and was very concerned about me...I’ve been to multiple doctors and they always treat me like a science experiment because I had two cervixs and a septum in my uterus. I also was pregnant and no one could find the pregnancy, he found it ectopic and I was taken care of immediately. He also helped pin point exactly what was wrong and was so proactive

The nursing staff [at Damien Fertility Partners] was amazing and so attentive and compassionate. Very professional...The cost to start IVF is around $9k then the medications were going to be up to $10k...the young lady that is supposed to call me and explain what my insurance did and did not cover would never call me prior and I would just receive a paper with procedures marked off covered or not

Describe the protocols Miguel Damien used in your cycles at Damien Fertility Partners and their degree of success.

After my eptopic pregnancy and removing my left ovarian tube he had my septum removed and we tried to get pregnant for about 4 yrs naturally. We should have went back to him sooner because my other tube was 100% block when he found out during my HSG as well as discovering I have two cervixs. He then scheduled a laparoscopy to remove the tube and found I still had a partial tube left not fully removed and 100% blocked also. Our next step was IVF but it was not covered by insurance.
