Veterinarian-AAHA-Accredited Cat Friendly Practice-Basehor KS

Experienced Associate Veterinarian Opportunity

Wolf Creek Veterinary Clinic is growing, and we are looking for an experienced Associate Veterinarian to join our collaborative, well-established team.

As an AAHA-accredited and Cat Friendly Certified hospital, we are committed to thoughtful medicine, strong client relationships, and creating a supportive environment where veterinarians can practice confidently and continue developing their clinical interests.

Interest In: Small-animal general practice in a full-service hospital offering comprehensive wellness and preventative care, advanced diagnostics, internal medicine, dentistry, routine and advanced soft-tissue surgery, pain management, dermatology, senior pet care, ophthalmology, behavior therapy, acupuncture, health certificates, and client education. The hospital is equipped to manage most medical and surgical needs in-house, with access to board-certified specialists within our network for additional consultation on more complex cases.

Experienced, Surgery-Forward Veterinarian Opportunity: We are seeking a full-time, experienced veterinarian with strong surgical skills who enjoys practicing comprehensive medicine and contributing to a collaborative doctor team. This role is ideal for a confident clinician who is comfortable managing a broad caseload and is excited to bring surgical expertise, sound medical judgment, and a team-first approach to an established hospital.

Doctors with interests in soft-tissue surgery, dentistry, ophthalmology, acupuncture, behavior, or advanced case management will find opportunities to continue using and developing those skills.

Supportive, Experienced Technical Team: Practice alongside a compassionate and capable support team committed to high-quality patient care and efficient clinical workflows. The team assists with anesthesia monitoring, surgery, dentistry, diagnostics, treatments, client communication, and patient handling, allowing doctors to focus on medicine and use their time effectively.

Surgical & Anesthesia Capabilities: Wolf Creek Veterinary Clinic performs both routine and advanced surgical procedures using modern equipment and established safety protocols. Surgical services include spay and neuter procedures, mass removals, cystotomies, dental surgery, and a variety of soft-tissue procedures involving the skin, body wall, and internal organs. The team prioritizes thorough preoperative assessment, multimodal anesthesia, advanced monitoring, pain management, and attentive recovery care.

Advanced Care & Specialist Collaboration: The hospital provides advanced diagnostics, procedures, and treatments for dogs and cats and is equipped to manage the majority of patient needs on-site. When a case benefits from additional expertise, doctors can consult directly with board-certified specialists within our network, supporting timely decision-making and coordinated care while helping many patients remain within the hospital.

Layout & Facility Highlights: Full-service, AAHA-accredited facility offering exam and treatment spaces, state-of-the-art testing and diagnostics, radiology, surgical and dental capabilities, modern anesthesia monitoring, and equipment designed to support both routine and advanced care. The hospital is also Cat Friendly Certified, reflecting a commitment to reducing stress and improving the experience for feline patients, their families, and the veterinary team.

Collaborative Team Environment: Wolf Creek Veterinary Clinic is built around a family-focused approach to medicine, where clients are treated with respect and each pet is cared for as if they were the team's own (as you can tell from our social media). Doctors and support staff work together to provide thorough, compassionate care while maintaining strong communication and long-term relationships with the community.

Patient Mix: A well-rounded companion-animal caseload consisting primarily of dogs and cats, with a balance of preventative care, internal medicine, diagnostic workups, dentistry, surgery, senior care, pain management, ophthalmology, behavior cases, and urgent medical needs.

Located west of Kansas City, Basehor offers the appeal of a welcoming, close-knit community with convenient access to the amenities of the greater Kansas City metropolitan area.

The surrounding area provides abundant parks, trails, lakes, and outdoor recreation, along with growing communities and easy access to nearby destinations such as Legends Outlets, Kansas Speedway, and downtown Kansas City.
