Are you an experienced veterinarian ready to lead a well-established hospital while continuing to practice exceptional medicine?

A respected companion animal hospital in West Los Angeles is seeking a Medical Director to help shape the future of the practice while mentoring an experienced clinical team and maintaining the highest standards of patient care.

This is an exciting opportunity for a veterinarian who enjoys leadership, collaboration, and building a positive hospital culture while remaining actively involved in clinical work. You'll partner closely with hospital leadership to influence medical standards, team development, and the long-term success of a hospital that has proudly served the local community for more than 30 years.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Base salary of $225,000 – $250,000

  • Lucrative production bonus with no negative accrual option

  • Annual Medical Director stipend

  • Sign-on, retention, and relocation packages available up to $100,000

  • Four weeks paid time off

  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance

  • 401(k) with discretionary contribution

  • Generous CE allowance and professional development support

  • Paid parental leave

  • Employee pet care discounts

  • Access to wellbeing resources and employee assistance programs

About the Hospital

This full-service companion animal hospital has been serving pets and their families throughout West Los Angeles for over three decades. The hospital offers preventative care, dentistry, surgery, diagnostics, urgent care services, and advanced medical management.

Doctors are supported by an experienced team of veterinary professionals and have access to modern in-house diagnostic capabilities, including digital radiography, ultrasound, and laboratory services.

Leadership Responsibilities

As Medical Director, you will:

  • Lead and mentor the veterinary team

  • Promote a positive and collaborative hospital culture

  • Maintain high medical standards and patient care protocols

  • Partner with hospital leadership on operational and strategic initiatives

  • Support team development and continuing education

  • Help guide the hospital's future growth and success

About You

  • DVM or VMD degree

  • Licensed or eligible for veterinary licensure in California

  • Strong clinical, surgical, and dental skills

  • Passion for leadership and mentorship

  • Excellent communication and relationship-building abilities

  • Commitment to high-quality patient care and team development

Life in West Los Angeles

Located in one of Los Angeles' most desirable neighborhoods, this opportunity offers access to beautiful parks, excellent restaurants, outdoor recreation, and some of Southern California's most iconic destinations. Enjoy a balance of city living, family-friendly communities, and year-round sunshine while advancing your veterinary leadership career.
