Solis Mammography announced on December 17 that it has expanded into San Antonio, Texas with the purchase of Avestēe Women’s Imaging Centers.
Avestēe Women’s Imaging Centers was founded in 2013 by radiologist Suzanne Dabbous, MD following the FDA approval of digital breast tomosynthesis, hoping to introduce the new technology to south-central Texas. Avestēe has grown to include four centers in San Antonio, with two more in the communities of Boerne and Spring Branch, Texas.
Solis Mammography, a portfolio company of Madison Dearborn Partners since August 2018, is the largest independent provider of mammography and breast health services in the United States with more than 141 centers in 19 major markets.
With the acquisition, Solis Mammography now has a presence in all major metro areas across Texas including Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston and Austin. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
This marks Solis Mammography’s fourth deal since August 2023 when it acquired Carolina Breast Imaging in North Carolina. In May 2024, the company acquired MUSIC Mammography and Ultrasound Imaging Center in Gainesville, Florida. Then, in October 2024, Solis Mammography acquired Breast Center of Acadiana in Lafayette, Louisiana.
According to data captured in the LevinPro HC database, this transaction marks the 114th Laboratories, MRI and Dialysis acquisition of 2024. Of those transactions, 7% (eight deals) have been announced in the MRI specialty. There were six MRI deals announced during 2023, and seven announced during 2022.
