Anchor Veterinary Surgery

What Anchor Veterinary Surgery does

Anchor Veterinary Surgery is a privately held, founder-owned mobile veterinary surgery service founded by Dr. Tony Kahn, a board-certified veterinary surgeon (DACVS) with 15+ years of experience. The company brings specialty surgical care directly to primary care veterinary hospitals in NYC and Long Island, performing orthopedic (including TPLO), soft tissue, oncologic, and minimally invasive procedures in the host hospital's own operating rooms. It self-describes as "NYC's only full-time mobile surgery service" and operates from two hubs: a headquarters in Park Slope, Brooklyn and a Long Island headquarters in Hauppauge ("Anchor East"), with teams traveling to partner clinics with a fleet of advanced surgical equipment and sterilization infrastructure.

The service is built around a deployment of differentiated surgical technology including NOCITA long-acting local anesthetic, VOYANT bipolar vessel sealing, mi-eye needle arthroscopy, Arthrex ACP platelet-rich plasma therapy, and VETIGEL hemostatic gel, with off-site sterilization at Anchor's own facilities using Tuttnauer autoclaves and STERLINK hydrogen peroxide gas plasma sterilizers. The primary customer segment is primary care veterinarians who refer patients requiring specialty surgery, and Anchor supports the funnel through an online remote consultation request form, while educating and building community via free CE events such as "ANCHORed in Community" in partnership with Torigen Pets.

Revenue is generated per procedure with payment expected at time of service and a $500 non-refundable deposit at scheduling; pricing is gated behind a password-protected list. Go-to-market combines community-led marketing (Instagram, CE events, VMANYC participation), direct referral partnerships with primary care hospitals, and inside sales through the online referral form. The founding surgeon also invests in ecosystem growth through teaching engagements (e.g., Principles of Fracture Repair course) and has hosted other surgeons exploring the mobile surgery model.

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• Jewel Vet Surgery: South Carolina-based mobile veterinary surgery service being launched by Dr. Kate Margalit, who recently trained with Anchor. The most direct conceptual peer — a mobile specialty surgery practice in a different geography.
• Modern Animal: Tech-enabled veterinary clinic chain focused on companion animal primary care. Operates in the same end customer market and could either partner with or compete against mobile specialty surgical models.
• Small Door Veterinary: Membership-based urban veterinary practice with NYC presence. Represents a newer primary care model that could either partner with Anchor for surgery referrals or pursue in-house specialty capabilities.
• Bond Vet: Urban primary and urgent care veterinary clinic chain with NYC locations. Operates in the same primary care vet market as Anchor's partner clinics and could either become a partner or compete for surgical case referrals.

Broad incumbents

• BluePearl Veterinary Partners: Large national network of specialty and emergency veterinary hospitals. Competes with Anchor for specialty surgical cases in many metros, though as a fixed-location referral hospital model rather than mobile in-clinic service.
• Animal Medical Center (AMC): Large NYC specialty veterinary hospital where Dr. Kahn completed his internship. A leading specialty referral destination in Manhattan and a potential competitor for complex orthopedic and soft tissue surgery cases.
• VCA Animal Hospitals: National network of primary care and specialty veterinary hospitals owned by Mars Petcare. Competes for surgical case referrals at scale and offers specialty surgery at multiple fixed locations.
• Veterinary Emergency and Referral Group (VERG): Brooklyn-based specialty and emergency veterinary hospital where founder Dr. Kahn previously worked for 6 years. Provides overlapping specialty surgery, oncology, and emergency services but operates as a fixed-location referral hospital rather than a mobile service.

Others

• Cresilon: Brooklyn-based manufacturer of VETIGEL hemostatic gel; Dr. Kahn contributed to early product development and Anchor is a clinical user. Adjacent ecosystem participant (vendor) rather than a competitor.

Regional players

• Red Bank Veterinary Hospital: New Jersey specialty veterinary hospital where Dr. Kahn completed his surgery residency. Comparable specialty surgical capabilities serving a different (non-NYC) geography from Anchor.
