We are currently a small, home-town veterinary clinic that employees two veterinarians and we are quickly growing and hoping to expand. Despite being a smaller, privately owned practice we have a state-of-the-art in-house laboratory with the ability to run most any test you need. We also have digital x-rays, a vast pharmacy, and a well trained staff including certified assistants and a licensed veterinary technician with 20 years experience.

About you
Glade Spring Veterinary Clinic has been a community staple since 1999. Our practice owner, Dr. Deborah Wood, purchased this practice in 2018 after being an associate veterinarian in the clinic since 2006. We currently have an amazing second veterinarian, Dr. Hope Barham and a licensed vet tech of 25 years, Angela Greer Collins. We are a fast paced, rapidly growing clinic that can no longer keep up with community demands!
We are eager to quickly find an incredible veterinarian to join our team! While we would prefer a vet with vast experience we are also open to taking on a new graduate.
After dedicating her life to optimal patient care for the last 33 years, Dr. Wood is looking toward a future retirement in the next 5 years. This affords the option for a veterinarian on staff to purchase the practice and make it their own!
