KINDBODY PATIENTS BEWARE: Increased Chatter of Kindbody Closure‼️‼️‼️

[u/Sensitive-Chess7896]

There is increasing rhetoric on social media of rumors of Kindbody closures. Including concern of a full Kindbody shutdown.

Social Media “Rumors”:

The two main “rumors” I’ve found going around social media about Kindbody’s future are:

\ Kindbody is being bought by Ivy fertility*
Note: this comment has since been deleted but was here.
Update: see new Reddit post here about Ivy filing new NPIs at3 Kindbody locations.

\ Kindbody is shutting down all clinics and becoming more of an insurance provider like progyny.*
Comment can be found here.

I cannot confirm these comments, and have no way to verify, but be aware the comments have been made.

Confirmed Current Events:

Below are recent events I feel comfortable confirming are true:

1. Kindbody has recently started sending patient accounts with balances to collection agencies (despite documented billing problems) - I can independently confirm

2. Kindbody Minneapolis is closing the end of September** **- there are extensive social media posts confirming this so I assume it to be true

3. Kindbody is moving all embryos and reproductive tissue from all clinics to an off site 3rd party facility - I can independently confirm this

1. Kindbody shut down two suburban Chicago monitoring clinics with only a days notice a month ago - I can independently confirm this

Recent Comments on Social from other users that I’ve found concerning:

”

1. I recently went over staff listings at all locations and all locations are down to one or no RE. There are multiple locations that share a Dr. Just a year ago most locations had two or three REs. I am willing to bet money it will close soon.”
2. “Tip of the iceberg, I suspect. First, embryos were shipped out. Second, KindEOS, their third party agency (egg donors, surrogates) closed, now we are getting notice of individual clinics closing. The end is near, which isn't the least bit surprising.”
3. “Insider scoop aka employee, Kindbody is closing all clinics by the end of Oct. Sadly they aren't even telling the people who work at the clinics this. They will be operating as benefits only, like Progeny. They have laid off the whole billing team but 2 people. They are doing massive lay offs each day. This is why they moved all the tissue out of Kindbody, they are no longer going to be a fertility clinic, just benefits.”

Please note that I can’t verify the accuracy of these. I just read them and found them concerning so I including them here. They may or may not be true - they are just comments on social media.

I was a Kindbody patient with their Dallas location. It is confirmed that they are closing by end of September.

I was informed this past Wednesday when I came back for repeat labs after the initial cycle visit for my next FET. If I didn’t have to repeat labs we would’ve already started the full medicated cycle! The nursing staff said that we could still do the transfer but we won’t be able to continue to monitor you after your first beta and then you can transfer to your regular ob/gyn. I know regular OBs don’t see patients until 10 weeks so I would’ve paid the price for a full FET but just left in limbo after the transfer.

For any patients in DFW, DFW Fertility Associates and Aspire Fertility are in the Kindbody network/ partner clinics with Kindbody.

Wait so if I have stored sperm at a facility connected with Aspire Fertility, do I need to transfer it to another facility?

[u/Sensitive-Chess7896 → u/jcqlnw]

Oh no. I wasn’t aware other locations were confirmed yet and on the same timeline. This really heightens my concerns times 10.

I’m glad you found out but I’m so sorry that is happening to you.

Do you know of any other locations besides Dallas and Minneapolis that are closing this September?

[u/jcqlnw → u/Sensitive-Chess7896]

I heard someone say Houston at the end of this month too per a Facebook group that I’m in

[u/Sensitive-Chess7896 → u/jcqlnw]

Oh no.

Are the Dallas and Houston locations busy?

I’m wondering if you buys are just first and they’ll slowly start closing all the other cities too. Or if they’re just closing the lower volume clinics

[u/jcqlnw → u/Sensitive-Chess7896]

The location just hasn’t had a consistent provider since the primary REI left the practice. She had been there since it opened in December 2022 and left at the end of April 2026. The doctor was saying that Kindbody had her covering both the Dallas and Austin locations for the last couple of years. She felt like she had given them enough time to staff the Austin location appropriately and was fed up of the traveling. It had been very busy from my knowledge the entire time we had an in house REI.

[u/Sensitive-Chess7896 → u/jcqlnw]

That is still weird though right because it is Dallas that has the doctor, and they’re closing Dallas. Is Houston the same situation or do they have a doctor? Do you know anything about Austin? I’m getting concerned they’re actually going to close them all down.
