InTandem Capital’s Ivy Fertility Acquires Santa Barbara Fertility Center

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 transaction strengthens its geographic reach and adds 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 stated that the addition, combined with recent new physician hires, brings its network to 70 physicians across 17 practices and 30 locations in nine states.

The deal adds to Ivy Fertility’s male fertility service offerings alongside a broader hiring push that includes five additional physicians joining clinics in California, Texas, Utah, and Nevada:

• 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
• Irene Peregrin-Alvarez, who joins Utah Fertility Center
