Associate Veterinarian, DVM - GP / Urgent Care Hybrid

Good medicine. Good people. Good vibes. We’re a privately owned GP + urgent care hybrid hospital in Long Beach looking for a veterinarian who wants to practice high-quality medicine in a supportive, collaborative environment. Our caseload includes a mix of general practice, sick pets, same-day urgent care, procedures, dentistry, surgery, and medical workups—making this a great fit for doctors who enjoy variety, hands‑on medicine, and interesting cases. Approximately 50% of our caseload involves urgent or same-day presentations, creating a fast‑moving and engaging environment with plenty of opportunities for continued clinical growth. What Working Here Feels Like We care deeply about practicing excellent medicine, but we also believe you shouldn't have to choose between high standards and a positive workplace culture. Our team is supportive, collaborative, and low‑ego. Doctors, technicians, and support staff work closely together, communicate openly, and enjoy working alongside one another. We celebrate wins together, support each other through the tougher days, and recognize that taking care of our team is just as important as taking care of our patients. We’re looking for people who are clinically curious, team‑oriented, kind to coworkers, and great with clients—people who want to contribute to a culture where hard work, laughter, compassion, and teamwork all have a place. As an independently owned hospital, we value flexibility, collaboration, and allowing doctors to practice medicine thoughtfully without excessive corporate oversight or pressure. Just good medicine with good people.
