Animal Specialty & Emergency Center of Brevard

What Animal Specialty & Emergency Center of Brevard does

Animal Specialty & Emergency Center of Brevard (ASECB) is a single-site, 24/7 veterinary emergency and specialty referral hospital headquartered at 2281 W. Eau Gallie Blvd., Melbourne, Florida. The facility serves pet owners and referring primary-care veterinarians throughout Brevard County, providing walk-in emergency care 365 days a year and specialty services by referral Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Service lines include emergency and critical care (with ICU cribs, bedside technicians, continuous monitoring, and an on-site blood product repository for canine packed red blood cells, canine fresh frozen plasma, and feline frozen plasma with on-site feline blood donors), surgery (general, orthopedic, soft tissue, and neurosurgery), dentistry and oral surgery, internal medicine (including in-house chemotherapy), and canine physical rehabilitation (underwater treadmill, acupuncture, cold laser, and electro-stimulation).

The facility's underlying technology stack is centered on capital-intensive veterinary medical equipment: an advanced diagnostic imaging suite including CT, MRI, ultrasound, fluoroscopy, radiography, echocardiography, arthroscopy, bronchoscopy, laparoscopy, and thoracoscopy; a comprehensive on-site laboratory featuring IDEXX Catalyst and Procyte analyzers, an SCA2000 coagulation analyzer, an I-Stat blood chemistry machine, and a microscope with digital camera for STAT pathologist interpretation; and minimally invasive surgical equipment including laparoscopic and thoracoscopic systems and endoscopic gastropexy for GDV prevention. The clinical team is composed of emergency veterinarians and board-certified specialists (Dr. Kendra Eginton in surgery, Dr. Monica Morgado in dentistry, Dr. Scott Goett as board-certified surgeon, Dr. Levine in internal medicine, Dr. Curt Barchard as certified canine rehabilitation therapist and acupuncturist, and Dr. Cassandra Thomas-Sheehan with certifications in acupuncture, veterinary medical manipulation, and veterinary forensic practice), all salaried with no production-based compensation.

ASECB operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of National Veterinary Associates (NVA), a diversified veterinary hospital operator with facilities across the United States; NVA provides the operational backbone including privacy compliance, accessibility standards, and corporate governance. Revenue is generated through professional-service fees billed per emergency treatment, specialty procedure, diagnostic test, or rehabilitation session, with payment required at the time of treatment and CareCredit available as a healthcare-financing option. The customer base is predominantly individual pet owners in Brevard County plus a network of referring primary-care veterinary practices, with supporting intake from Brevard County animal shelters and rescue organizations; the facility explicitly refers non-critical services (vaccinations, routine dental cleanings, flea/tick control, prescription food) back to primary veterinarians, maintaining a focused specialty and emergency scope.
