Associate Veterinarian

Join a growing, privately owned veterinary practice in Torrance, CA, seeking a new Associate Veterinarian to join their 3 DVM team! I’m working with a highly regarded, privately owned companion animal hospital in Torrance that is looking to welcome an Associate Veterinarian to their growing team. This is an AAHA-accredited practice known for its strong clinical standards, collaborative culture, and commitment to providing both high-quality medicine and a genuinely supportive working environment. We are looking for a DVM to join on a flexible schedule either 3 or 4 days per week with limited weekends split between the other DVMs (every fourth Saturday only currently, looking to get to every fifth weekend!). The team is well-established and includes experienced RVTs, a full management team, and a dedicated support structure that allows doctors to focus on patient care rather than administrative pressures. Each veterinarian is supported by a dedicated RVT/technician daily, alongside additional float and hospitalization technicians, plus a pharmacy assistant to streamline workflow. Appointment times are set at 30–60 minutes, with blocked lunch breaks and protected callback time built into every shift, ensuring a more structured and less pressured day. Clinically, the hospital offers a broad range of small animal services, including preventative care, diagnostics, surgery, and dentistry, supported by modern equipment such as digital radiography, ultrasound, an in-house laboratory, and paperless medical records. The environment is designed to be efficient, respectful, and team-oriented, with a focus on maintaining a positive workplace where veterinarians can thrive both professionally and personally. With flexible scheduling options across a 3- or 4-day work week and a salary range of $135,000–$180,000 plus production, this role offers both career progression and a strong work-life balance.
