A 4.9-star rating from 402 patients does not happen by accident. It happens when a practice consistently does three things well: it listens, it communicates clearly, and it follows through. At Consensus Health in Cherry Hill, New Jersey — operating at the same address long associated with Clinical Health Care Associates of New Jersey PC — those qualities have produced one of the most consistently reviewed primary care records in Camden County. For South Jersey patients navigating the early stages of a fertility evaluation, that baseline of trust matters considerably.
About the Practice
Consensus Health Cherry Hill sits at 1401 Marlton Pike East, Suite 26, Cherry Hill, NJ 08034 — a location well-positioned in the Philadelphia-adjacent suburbs of South Jersey, drawing patients from throughout Camden, Burlington, and Gloucester counties. The practice operates Monday through Friday, with extended Wednesday hours until 6 PM, and can be reached at (856) 479-9400.
The practice operates as a member of Consensus Health, a physician-owned and physician-governed medical group with more than 150 member physicians across more than 60 locations throughout New Jersey. That affiliation matters beyond branding: Consensus Health is structured as an invitation-only network that allows member physicians to maintain clinical autonomy while accessing a shared technology platform, portable medical records across the network, and expanded payer contract relationships. For patients, the practical implication is that a referral within the Consensus Health system carries care continuity — records transfer, context transfers, and the patient does not begin again at zero.
The Clinical Team
The Cherry Hill location is led by three providers whose training reflects the kind of depth patients in a high-trust primary care relationship should expect.
Dan Fabius, DO is board-certified in both internal medicine and clinical informatics — a dual credential held by very few practicing physicians. Dr. Fabius earned his undergraduate degree in biomedical engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute before completing his medical degree at Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine and his internal medicine residency at Cooper University Hospital. He subsequently served as Associate Program Director and Assistant Professor of Medicine at Cooper Medical School of Rowan University. He is a Fellow of the American College of Physicians, a member of the American Osteopathic Association, and was selected for the South Jersey Biz "Who's Who in Healthcare" in 2019 — a recognition of regional clinical leadership. His clinical informatics background equips him to navigate complex diagnostic questions and chronic disease patterns with systematic rigor that goes beyond routine practice.
Matthew Paoli, DO is board-certified in family medicine, with his undergraduate training at the University of Delaware (biology), his medical degree from Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, and his residency completed at Christiana Care Health System in Delaware. Prior to joining Consensus Health, Dr. Paoli served as lead physician at a practice in Philadelphia's Germantown neighborhood within the Jefferson-Einstein Health System, where his work focused on improving quality care delivery and implementing evidence-based programs. His emphasis on preventative medicine and chronic disease management positions him well for patients preparing for pregnancy — where metabolic health, thyroid function, and lifestyle factors can meaningfully affect fertility outcomes before a specialist is ever involved.
Catherine McNamara, DNP, FNP, APN brings more than a decade of clinical experience to the practice as a family nurse practitioner. Her Doctor of Nursing Practice degree is from Rutgers University; her BSN from La Salle University (earned Magna Cum Laude). McNamara's approach centers on creating a therapeutically safe environment — language that resonates particularly for patients in reproductive health contexts, where vulnerability and clinical need overlap. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she co-authored a children's book, Our Heroes, honoring frontline workers — a gesture that reflects both her communication instincts and her sense of care as something practiced beyond the exam room.
Fertility Relevance: Primary Care as the Starting Point
Consensus Health Cherry Hill is a primary care and internal medicine practice, not a dedicated fertility clinic. That distinction is worth stating plainly — but it is not a limitation for patients at the beginning of their fertility journey. For the large majority of patients who first ask a fertility question, that question is best answered initially by a trusted primary care physician: a doctor who knows the patient's health history, can order a baseline hormonal workup, can evaluate thyroid function and metabolic health, and can determine whether a specialist referral is appropriate and, if so, to whom.
The Consensus Health network infrastructure supports exactly that kind of referral. With more than 60 locations and a shared records platform, a warm handoff to a reproductive endocrinologist within or adjacent to the network is a real possibility rather than a form letter. Patients in the Philadelphia-South Jersey corridor have access to several high-volume fertility centers — including those affiliated with Penn Medicine, Cooper Health, and the RMA Network — and a primary care physician who understands the landscape is a meaningful navigational asset.
The practice's chronic disease management capabilities are also directly fertility-relevant. Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), thyroid disorders, type 2 diabetes, and autoimmune conditions are among the most common complicating factors in reproductive health — and all are primary care diagnoses that benefit from stable, attentive management before a fertility specialist is engaged. The same is true for male-factor evaluation: a thorough primary care workup can identify hormonal or anatomical factors worth investigating before proceeding to a reproductive urologist.
New Jersey's Fertility Insurance Mandate — One of the Strongest in the Country
New Jersey has built one of the most substantive fertility insurance mandates in the United States, and Cherry Hill patients with employer-sponsored insurance are well-positioned to benefit from it. Understanding the mandate clearly — and verifying coverage before paying out of pocket — is among the most financially consequential steps any fertility patient can take.
New Jersey's Family Building Act requires health insurance policies covering groups of more than 50 employees to provide coverage for medically necessary infertility diagnosis and treatment, provided the employer is headquartered in New Jersey and the plan is fully funded (not self-insured). Covered services under the mandate include:
- Comprehensive diagnostic testing and evaluation
- Fertility medications
- Intrauterine insemination (IUI)
- In vitro fertilization (IVF) including fresh and frozen embryo transfers
- Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)
- Embryo transfer procedures
IVF coverage is limited to four completed egg retrievals per lifetime. Coverage applies when patients have exhausted less expensive medically appropriate treatments without success, have not exceeded the four-retrieval limit, are under age 45, and receive treatment at a facility meeting standards set by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine or the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
The practical implication for Cherry Hill patients is direct: if you work for a New Jersey-headquartered employer with more than 50 employees and your plan is fully insured (rather than self-funded through ERISA), state law likely entitles you to substantial IVF coverage. The critical verification step is confirming whether your plan is "fully insured" — self-insured plans fall under federal ERISA rules and are exempt from state mandates regardless of employer size.
This makes the role of a well-connected primary care physician even more valuable. A physician who can document medical necessity, coordinate referrals, and provide the clinical continuity that insurers require for prior authorization is not just a clinical asset — they are a practical financial one.

What 402 Reviews at 4.9 Stars Signals in South Jersey
Four-hundred-and-two reviews is a meaningful sample. At that volume, a handful of exceptional experiences does not prop up an average — the distribution has to be genuinely skewed toward quality for the mean to hold at 4.9. In Camden County's competitive primary care market, where patients have access to Penn Medicine, Virtua, Cooper Health, and numerous independent practices, a near-perfect aggregate rating reflects something earned.
Patient commentary for the Cherry Hill location consistently highlights specific attributes: the attentiveness and warmth of Catherine McNamara, the clinical thoroughness of Dr. Fabius and Dr. Paoli, and a shared office culture in which appointments do not feel rushed. For patients navigating reproductive health questions — where anxiety is nearly always present and communication failures carry real costs — those qualities are not incidental. They are the clinical environment in which accurate history-taking, honest prognosis-setting, and timely referrals actually happen.
Among New Jersey fertility clinics, Consensus Health Cherry Hill occupies a specific and important role: the primary care foundation that shapes the entire care journey. Patients who start here with a clear picture of their health, a strong diagnostic workup, and a well-placed referral are systematically better positioned than patients who arrive at a reproductive endocrinologist for the first time without that groundwork.

Considering At-Home Insemination?
Not every fertility journey begins in a clinic. At-home intracervical insemination (ICI) is a lower-cost, private option that suits patients with no known fertility diagnosis — including single parents by choice, same-sex couples, and people who want to try a few cycles before committing to clinical treatment.
At-home insemination kits like those from MakeAMom come with step-by-step instructions designed for donor or partner sperm. Kits are a one-time purchase that can be reused until conception succeeds, require no clinic visit, and arrive in plain, discreet packaging. Many patients use them as a first step while working toward a fertility consultation — or alongside ovulation tracking while they wait for an appointment slot.
If you have a known fertility diagnosis, have been trying for 12 months without success (six months if you're over 35), or your physician has already recommended IUI or IVF, a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist is the right next step.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Consensus Health Cherry Hill offer IVF or IUI on-site?
No. Consensus Health Cherry Hill is a primary care and internal medicine practice. It does not perform IVF or IUI on-site.

Patients who need procedural fertility treatment will be referred to an appropriate specialist.
Does New Jersey insurance cover IVF, and does it apply to Cherry Hill patients?
New Jersey's Family Building Act mandates IVF coverage for fully insured health plans covering groups of more than 50 employees, when the employer is headquartered in New Jersey. Covered treatments include IVF, ICSI, IUI, embryo transfer, and associated diagnostics and medications. Coverage is limited to four completed egg retrievals per lifetime.
