The Schwarzman Animal Medical Center in New York City is one of a handful of veterinary hospitals across the country that is equipped to handle the most complicated cases
Senior veterinarian Dr. Daniel Spector, center, explains to Jennie Anne Simson, left, the surgery he will perform on the foster cat Lynx during a consultation at the Schwarzman Animal Medical Center, Friday, March 8, 2024, in New York. Waddling in with lime-green booties on his front paws, Harrison, a beloved seven-year-old French bulldog, is a familiar sight at the Schwarzman Animal Medical Center in New York City.
Located on Manhattan’s east side, the animal hospital and its more than 130 veterinarians logged nearly 60,000 patient visits in 2023, as one of a handful of centers across the country equipped to manage the most complicated medical cases, which clinics with fewer resources cannot handle. AMC is certified at the Veterinary Committee on Trauma's highest level, reflecting the resources the hospital has on site, from a blood bank to anesthesiologists, as well as its around-the-clock staffing.
The hospital, which as a nonprofit provides training to veterinarians in specialized care, has raised more than $100 million since 2019 to expand and entirely reconstruct its facility, including the newly opened surgical suite. “At the moment, we have a dog that’s in cancer care. He’s one of our rescues,” said Elaine Langone, who is vice chair of the board of trustees for AMC. “Without them, he would not be here.”
“The cost of care because of all the technology innovation just continues to increase. The costs are real," said McCobb. "And it can cost thousands of dollars to obtain even something like a dental cleaning. It’s not affordable for most people.”
