About us
We are looking for a compassionate, motivated, and team-oriented Emergency Room (ER) Veterinarian to join our growing veterinary team. This is an exciting opportunity to practice high-quality emergency medicine in a supportive, collaborative environment where your skills, clinical judgment, and dedication truly make a difference.
In this role, you’ll provide urgent and critical care to a wide variety of patients while supporting pet owners through some of their most difficult moments. From stabilizing emergencies to performing life-saving procedures, you’ll play a vital role in helping animals receive the expert care they need when it matters most.
We value teamwork, communication, and a positive culture just as much as strong medicine. Whether you’re an experienced ER clinician or looking to continue growing your emergency skill set, we’d love to meet you.
We rushed one of our cats, Scar (Scarlton J. Meowsworth) here in the early hours of the morning. The staff was very friendly and the vet(s) were attentive listeners, supportive, and very open about the diagnoses at hand. They even stayed past closing time administering medicine and treatments, in hopes of buying us some time to get us to Nashville where the platelets needed were kept in stock. They did everything they could for us short of performing an actual miracle. Unfortunately, Scar had contracted Bobcat Fever, from the infamous Lone Star Tick. I wish things would have turned out different but the vet(s) here did everything they could have possibly done. If you’re ever in a situation where you need an emergency vet, this is the location you want. – Chris S – Google Review
