East Coast Equine Veterinary Service

What East Coast Equine Veterinary Service does

East Coast Equine Veterinary Service, LLC is a fully ambulatory equine veterinary practice founded in 2015 by Dr. Paul Zimprich following his acquisition of the equine division of Tranquility Large Animal Veterinary Service. Headquartered at 33B Kennedy Road in Tranquility, New Jersey, the practice serves Sussex, Warren, and Morris counties in Northern New Jersey, delivering care directly to client farms, stables, and boarding facilities rather than operating a fixed clinic. The customer base is segmented across performance horses (primary), pleasure horses, and horses with special medical needs such as metabolic conditions and PPID/Cushing's disease, with no institutional or named-enterprise customers disclosed in the source material.

The service portfolio spans emergency care (24/7), preventative health management, dentistry, pre-purchase evaluations, lameness and sports medicine diagnostics, minor field surgery, cryosurgery, reproductive services, and a comprehensive regenerative/alternative therapy menu including Pro-Stride ACS, stem cell therapy, IRAP, PRP, mesotherapy, acupuncture, and extracorporeal shock wave therapy. Diagnostic capability is anchored by portable digital radiography, digital ultrasonography, upper-airway endoscopy, 3-meter video gastroscopy, and TonoVet Plus tonometry, supported by an in-house laboratory featuring CBC/Chem with fibrinogen, fecal egg count testing, iStat point-of-care analyzer, SAA inflammatory biomarker, Truforma ACTH testing, and stall-side lactate measurement. In-field laptops provide 24/7 access to patient files. The four-veterinarian team (Drs. Zimprich, Ciuffitelli, Ezzo, Hollyer) carries differentiated credentials spanning acupuncture certification, podiatry and lameness specialization, and clinical pathology residency training.

The business model is professional fee-for-service, with pricing per procedure (e.g., fecal egg counts at $21-$25 depending on volume) and revenue derived from on-farm visits, emergency calls, and specialized procedures such as regenerative therapy and advanced diagnostics. Distribution is entirely direct-to-consumer via field deployment within the three-county service area; marketing relies on client-education content, an email newsletter, and professional association memberships (AAEP, AVMA, NJVMA, ISELP, AAEVT) rather than paid acquisition channels. The firm is privately held, has no disclosed parent company, no funding rounds, and no institutional investment; ownership remains with founder Dr. Paul Zimprich.
