About this role

This is a broad and satisfying clinical role for a veterinarian who values variety, comprehensive care, and long-term relationships with clients and animals. Your day will move across the full scope of companion animal medicine: wellness consultations, diagnostic workups, medical management, surgery, and dentistry.

You’ll have access to an extended orientation with robust mentorship, a well-equipped facility, and an established referral network that means you’re never left without options or support for a complex case.

The work spans:

• Conducting thorough wellness exams and building preventive care plans that support patients from first visit through senior years
• The case load ranges from approximately 2-3 visits per hour (with a build-up through orientation), with 2 veterinary technicians assigned per veterinarian
• Running diagnostic workups using in-house laboratory, digital radiography, and ultrasound to reach timely, confident conclusions, with options for send-outs as indicated
• Performing soft tissue and orthopedic surgery with anesthesia support
• Providing dental care including extractions and minor oral surgery
• Extremely limited on call expectations with phone-only services (negotiable)
