About this role

As our incoming Veterinary Surgeon, you’ll step into a busy, well-supported caseload within a hospital that has the depth and infrastructure to back you up. Working alongside emergency doctors, oncologists, and cardiologists, you’ll approach complex cases as part of a true multidisciplinary team, with the diagnostic tools and specialist collaboration to see each one through from first assessment to a strong outcome.

Your day-to-day will include:

• Managing a varied, high-volume surgical caseload with dedicated, highly trained nursing support
• Collaborative case planning and consultation with a co-located specialist team
• Clear, empathetic client communication at every stage of the surgical process
• Contributing to a culture of shared standards, where getting it right matters to everyone in the room

This isn’t a role where complex cases land on your desk alone. You’ll have real clinical support behind you and an environment that lets you practice surgery the way it should be practiced.

About you

You’re a surgeon who finds real satisfaction in the craft and the outcomes. You hold board certification in veterinary surgery, or are actively working toward it, and you bring the technical proficiency and professional judgment to manage a demanding, high-volume caseload with confidence.

You work well within a multidisciplinary team, where collaboration with other specialists is how the best decisions get made. You communicate clearly with colleagues and clients alike, and you bring a calm, steady presence to high-stakes clinical moments. If you also take satisfaction in contributing to a professional culture where standards are held high and people look out for each other, you’ll find a lot to value here.

We’re looking for:

• A collaborative, team-oriented approach to clinical decision-making
• Strong client communication and case management skills
• Demonstrated experience managing complex surgical cases
• Board certification in veterinary surgery (DACVS or equivalent), or active candidacy
• Active California veterinary license, or eligibility to obtain one
