Atlanta-based Ascend Plastic Surgery Partners announced April 9 the acquisition of Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery.
Ponte Vedra Plastic Surgery has offices in Ponte Vedra Beach, Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Amelia Island and Nocatee.
The company was founded 30 years ago by Dr. Cacey Rumsey and Dr. Robert Burk. The practice includes Dr. Erez Sternberg, Dr. Hollie Hickman and CEO Dennis Oistacher.
Ascend Plastic Surgery Partners is led by Dr. William Hedden and CEO Anthony Milonas. Ascend was created in 2023 by Sheridan Capital Partners, a Chicago-based healthcare private equity firm that says it “focuses on lower middle market buyouts and growth equity in the U.S. and Canada.”
