Veritas Veterinary Partners

What Veritas Veterinary Partners does

Veritas Veterinary Partners is a privately held veterinary services company that operates a national network of 14 specialty and emergency veterinary hospitals across five U.S. states (New Jersey, New York, Colorado, Nevada, and California). Founded in 2021 by Thomas D. Scavelli, DVM, Diplomate ACVS, the company built a partnership-of-hospitals model in which existing specialty and emergency hospitals join the Veritas network while preserving their brand identity, culture, and clinical autonomy, and gaining access to centralized operational support, capital, and referral infrastructure. Services span emergency and critical care, specialty surgery, internal medicine, oncology, and advanced diagnostics (MRI, CT, digital radiography, ultrasound, video scoping, and pet-exclusive linear accelerators for radiation therapy at Garden State Vet Specialists Eatontown, Wheat Ridge Animal Hospital, and Las Vegas Vet Specialty Center).

The technology stack is conventional veterinary medical equipment rather than proprietary software, supplemented by structured training programs: VERVe mentorship ($175K plus bonuses) for new ER graduates, VIVO for second-year residents, and the broader internship and residency pipeline that places 200+ trainees annually. Advanced facilities range from 5,000 sq ft to 51,000 sq ft; the network includes AAHA Referral Practice-accredited and LEED-certified sites. Services are delivered directly to pet owners at hospital locations, with general-practice veterinarians acting as referral sources. The company was launched publicly in March 2022 with an 80+-provider network, acquired PESCM, Wheat Ridge Animal Hospital, and Vet Surgical Specialists within months, and has continued expanding in California and reinvesting in flagship capacity through 2026. Leadership is transitioning toward a more professionalized executive team as the company scales beyond founder-led operations.

The business model is B2C specialty and emergency veterinary services billed per visit/procedure, augmented by training-program-related professional services revenue. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales aimed at independent specialty and emergency hospitals interested in joining the network (Partnerships pipeline via [email protected]), supported by educational marketing through DVM student programs and externships. Christopher Sclafani serves as President; Dr. Scavelli remains active as Founder and CMO. No external funding rounds, parent company, or private-equity sponsor is disclosed in the source data.
