Santa Barbara Aug 8, 2023 — In a significant development for the local medical community, Dr. Daniel Rychlik, renowned fertility specialist, has personally acquired Oma Fertility Santa Barbara, to continue to enhance his patient-centered care and exceptional results in the field of reproductive health. Dr. Rychlik, along with his wife, Dr. Melissa Drake, a respected OB/GYN in the town, brings a unique combination of expertise to create families and fulfill the dreams of hopeful parents.
Although 5 of Oma’s nationwide clinics were acquired by a corporate entity, Dr Rychlik felt it important that his Santa Barbara clinic maintain a patient-centric approach without being gobbled up by another corporate entity. Too many medical clinics have been bought up by large corporations, lessening their ability to treat patients with personalized care. “I have been able to create a real gem in Santa Barbara. With the team I have assembled, we are able to provide the Central Coast with world-class fertility care. My wife and I have made Santa Barbara our home and continue to want to bring our special kind of care to help couples build their families. I am committed to continue that goal with my team under our new name: Empower Fertility.”
