InTandem Capital Partners-backed Ivy Fertility has acquired Santa Barbara Fertility Center, for undisclosed terms. Ivy Fertility, a San Diego-based operator of fertility clinics, said the moves strengthen its geographic reach and add capabilities in male fertility care.
Santa Barbara Fertility Center was founded in 2008 by reproductive endocrinologist Rene Allen, who will continue to practice at the clinic following the acquisition. Ivy Fertility said the addition, combined with the new physician hires, brings its network to 70 physicians across 17 practices in 30 locations in nine states.
The five other new physicians include Abigail Armstrong, who joins San Diego Fertility Center; Archana Ayyar, who joins Dallas IVF; Tolulope Bakare, a reproductive urologist joining Dallas IVF and Utah Fertility Center; Kristi Maas, who joins Nevada Center for Reproductive Medicine; and Irene Peregrin-Alvarez, who joins Utah Fertility Center.
