New England Equine Medical & Surgical Center

What New England Equine Medical & Surgical Center does

New England Equine Medical & Surgical Center (NEEMSC) is a private veterinary referral hospital and specialty practice founded in 2005 by Dr. Michael Davis, DVM, MS, operating from a 35,000sf purpose-built facility in Dover, New Hampshire. The practice delivers comprehensive equine medical and surgical services, including internal medicine, surgery, lameness and sports medicine, diagnostic imaging, ophthalmology, physical therapy, dentistry, reproduction and neonatology, podiatry, acupuncture, and laboratory diagnostics, supported by an in-house 24/7 emergency service and an ambulatory field service covering New Hampshire, southern Maine, and northeastern Massachusetts. The clinical team comprises eight equine veterinarians, including board-certified specialists in ophthalmology and surgery, supported by technicians, barn staff, and administrative personnel.

The practice's underlying technology platform centers on advanced diagnostic and surgical equipment: a dedicated imaging center with computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and the only nuclear scintigraphy unit in New England with motion correction, complemented by digital radiography, ultrasonography, video endoscopy, and an in-hospital laboratory using Abaxis analyzers with 24-hour turnaround. A standalone 4-stall isolation unit with separate water, heating, and ventilation systems supports infectious disease management, while two modern surgical suites, a neonatal intensive care unit, and capacity for 18 horses in surgery and lameness barns enable high-acuity inpatient care. Patient records and regulatory testing flow through integrations with MyVetLink and Global Vet Link.

NEEMSC generates revenue through fee-for-service veterinary medical, surgical, diagnostic, and emergency care delivered at the hospital and on-farm, with pay-as-you-go pricing and no disclosed subscription or contracted-revenue model. Customer segments consist of individual horse owners, equestrian competitors, and referring primary-care equine veterinarians across New England; ancillary revenue is captured through a co-branded Vets First Choice pharmacy storefront, a crematorium partnership with Final Gift Memorial Center, and a Lucerne Farms feed dealership. The practice is wholly owned by founder Dr. Davis, with no external institutional investment, parent company, or public-market exposure.
