Looking for a Practice That Feels... Different (In the Best Way)?

Not every veterinary job is built the same.

Some are fast-paced but isolating.
Some promise support-but fall short when you need it most.

This isn't one of those places.

At Prelesnik Animal Hospital , you'll find a close-knit, genuinely supportive team where collaboration is natural, mentorship is accessible, and your voice actually matters.

If you're looking for a place where you can practice good medicine, feel supported, and enjoy your day-to-day , keep reading.

What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out

Small Team, Big Support

• 2:1 tech-to-DVM ratio
• 3 experienced technicians + 3 assistants
• A team that jumps in, communicates openly, and has each other's backs

In a smaller practice like this, you're never just "another doctor"-you're a valued part of the team.

Grow at Your Own Pace (With Support When You Need It)

Whether you're early in your career or just looking for a more supportive environment, you'll have access to guidance without micromanagement.

• Collaborative case discussions
• Approachability from leadership
• Space to practice medicine your way-while still learning and growing

Facility & Tools

• 4 exam rooms
• Dedicated surgical suite
• Dental procedures integrated into treatment area
• Digital radiography
• Therapy & surgical lasers
• Ultrasound (butterfly unit for focused use)
• Full in-house lab (IDEXX: ProCyte, Catalyst, Sedivue, SnapPro; expanding capabilities soon)

Schedule = Predictable & Flexible Life

• Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday: 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM
• Wednesday: 9:00 AM - 7:00 PM
• No weekends
• No on-call

The Medicine

• Small animal focus
• Preventative care, sick visits, and general practice medicine
• No expectation for advanced or specialty procedures (but room to grow if interested)

Why Grand Haven, MI?

Lake Michigan. Sandy beaches. Coastal charm.
