About us
Our goal and policy is to treat our patients as we would treat our families, and to treat our clientsβ pets as though they were our very own. We strive to lengthen and enrich the relationship between owners and their pets, as they are the heart of our practice and the reason we are here. At all times, we promise both our clients and their pets will be treated with respect, dignity, and compassion. Being of service to our community and its pets is an honor and the mission of our practice.
Compassionate and responsive veterinary care! I have been taking my two Scottish Terriers to Abbey Animal Hospital for a few years and have received professional care that keeps me coming back. The staff follows up with the treatment of your pet even after hours. They will provide options and choices for your furry family member! – Megan Luker, client since 2018

About this role
The demand from our community has not slowed down, and we are seeking passionate veterinarians who are seeking growth. We are looking for associates who are team-oriented, offer compassion for our patients, and have a strong desire to connect with and educate our clients. We are open to veterinarians with little to no experience as well as seasoned veterinarians looking for a change of pace and an escape from the corporate structure. Our practice treats mainly small animals, and we see exotic patients as well. Regardless of your experience level, we have a place for you.

About you
Whether you have been practicing for years, or are a recent graduate, we have a place for you. We are looking for more veterinarians who want to expand their practice and skill sets, but have felt trapped in the corporate structure or who are seeking real, experienced mentorship. No matter what your veterinary medicine passion is, we are looking to support and help you expand!

Our location
Abbey Animal Hospital is located in the heart of the bustling coastal city of Virginia Beach, known just as much for our oceanfront and boardwalk, as we are for our flourishing local dining scene, arts and entertainment, maritime history, and family-friendly attractions. Our city features many unique districts that offer experiences for everyone to enjoy, and we take advantage of them every chance we get. From brunch cruises on the Spirit of Norfolk, to spending the evening at a family arcade, our hospital is truly like a family.
