Animal Surgical Center

What Animal Surgical Center does

Animal Surgical Center (ASC) is a privately held, AAHA-accredited specialty veterinary surgical practice operating from a single flagship facility at 529 Atlantic Ave, Oceanside, New York. The center delivers specialty surgical services spanning soft-tissue, orthopedic (TPLO, TTA, fracture repair), minimally invasive (laparoscopy, arthroscopy, thoracoscopy), and spinal/neurologic procedures, supported by advanced in-house diagnostics (CT scan with 3D imaging, digital X-ray, ultrasound, laboratory) and a Joint Care & Pain Relief program offering therapeutic laser, PRP, and stem cell therapy. The clinical team is led by founder and CEO Dr. Tomas Infernuso (DACVS) and includes additional board-certified surgeons (Dr. Santiago Mejia, DACVS-LA; Dr. Jennifer Short), plus consultant specialists in anesthesiology (Dr. Gianluca Bini) and critical care (Dr. Ricardo Irizarry, DACVECC), with 24-hour staffing by overnight doctors, licensed veterinary technicians, and assistants.

Revenue is generated through professional services fees from surgical procedures, diagnostics, regenerative medicine, oncology, and emergency care, supplemented by quote-based pricing on a per-case basis. The go-to-market is a hybrid of direct-to-consumer intake (phone, walk-in emergencies, social media, website) and a BVM referral channel formalized through a DVM Referral Portal serving general practice veterinarians across the New York region. Customer segments span individual pet owners (both self-referred and DVM-referred) and a network of more than 20 animal rescue organizations, the latter supported by the No Ruff Days 501(c)(3) charitable foundation administered in partnership with Veterinary Care Foundation. Headcount is reported at 11-50, the legal entity is Animal Surgical Center, LLC, and operational signals (mvetpartners.com email domain) suggest a back-office affiliation with Mission Veterinary Partners, a multi-site veterinary consolidator. No external funding, M&A activity, or public listing is disclosed.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• MedVet: Multi-specialty and emergency veterinary hospital network with specialty surgery, imaging, and critical care. The mvetpartners.com email domain used by ASC suggests a direct operational affiliation, and MedVet's service mix mirrors ASC's surgery, diagnostics, and emergency offering.
• Veterinary Emergency Group (VEG): Emergency-focused veterinary hospital chain operating in the Northeast, including the NY metro. Comparable as a competitor for after-hours and weekend emergency surgical cases that ASC's Sunday closure currently cedes.
• BluePearl Specialty and Emergency Pet Hospital: Large national chain of specialty and emergency veterinary hospitals offering surgery, oncology, internal medicine, and advanced diagnostics across the US. Directly comparable because it competes head-to-head in the same specialty/emergency surgical category and serves the same DVM referral ecosystem.
• Animal Medical Center (NYC): Large non-profit specialty and emergency veterinary hospital in Manhattan offering board-certified surgery, oncology, internal medicine, and advanced imaging. Comparable as a destination referral hospital in the same NY region for complex surgical and specialty cases.
• Long Island Veterinary Specialists: Specialty referral hospital on Long Island offering surgery, internal medicine, oncology, cardiology, and emergency services. Directly comparable regional competitor for the same DVM referral base in the NY/Long Island market.

Regional players

• Pet Emergency & Specialty Center (PESC): Specialty and emergency veterinary hospital serving a defined regional catchment with surgery, internal medicine, and emergency services. Comparable business model and clinical mix but operates in a different geographic territory (San Diego) than ASC.
• Guardian Veterinary Specialists: 24/7 emergency and specialty veterinary hospital offering surgery, internal medicine, oncology, and advanced imaging. Comparable in scope and service mix but primarily serves a different regional catchment outside ASC's NY core.

Broad incumbents

• Cornell University Hospital for Animals: Academic veterinary teaching hospital providing specialty surgery, oncology, internal medicine, and advanced imaging. Comparable as a high-acuity specialty referral destination within driving distance of ASC's NY catchment.
• Mission Pet Health: Specialty and emergency veterinary hospital platform operating across multiple US sites. Likely the parent/sister entity given the careers portal (missionpethealth.avature.net) used by ASC, providing centralized services to specialty practices like ASC.
• VCA Animal Hospitals: Mars Petcare-owned network of primary care, specialty, and emergency veterinary hospitals nationwide. Comparable as a broad incumbent offering overlapping specialty surgical services as part of a much larger general practice portfolio.
