The Job Opportunity:
A progressive, well-established small animal practice is seeking an experienced Full-Time Associate Veterinarian to join its collaborative, multi-DVM medical team.

This opportunity is ideal for a confident veterinarian who enjoys evidence-based medicine, clinical autonomy, a varied caseload, and a fast-paced but supportive hospital environment. The practice provides comprehensive medical, surgical, dental, and preventive care for dogs and cats, along with rabbits and pocket pets.

Doctors have access to advanced diagnostic and treatment capabilities while being supported by an approximately 3:1 staff-to-doctor ratio, including licensed veterinary technicians, veterinary assistants, and client service professionals.

The hospital schedules 20-minute appointments and dedicated technician appointments, helping doctors utilize their support team effectively while maintaining appropriate time for patient evaluation and client communication.

On-call responsibilities are limited to a light phone-triage rotation, with no routine in-hospital emergency coverage.
