New York, NY, July 7, 2021 – U.S. Foot & Ankle Specialists, LLC (“USFAS”), a portfolio company of NMS Capital (“NMS”), announced today that it has acquired Family Foot and Ankle Center (“FFAC”), based in Northern Virginia. Dr. Richard Mendelsohn founded FFAC in 1987, and has since expanded to four locations in Ashburn, Fairfax, McLean, and Reston, VA.

With the resources and support of our partners at NMS, we will continue our mission of becoming the provider of choice in the podiatric industry,” said Cotton Hawes, Chief Executive Officer of USFAS.
