Job Description

Associate Veterinarian
Charleston, SC | Privately Owned Small Animal Hospital

A well-established privately owned small animal hospital in the San Diego area is adding an Associate Veterinarian due to continued case growth.

This is a busy, collaborative practice where doctors see a wide range of cases and have strong technician support, allowing them to focus on practicing high-quality medicine rather than working through an assembly line.

Practice Snapshot

• 6-doctor team with a stable, experienced support staff
• 2–3 technicians per doctor (including licensed technicians)
• Modern facility with full in-house diagnostics, digital radiography, ultrasound, and dedicated surgical suite
• Mix of wellness, internal medicine, surgery, dentistry, and urgent cases
• Consistent case demand — the hospital regularly books out and turns away same-day cases

Schedule

• Typically a 4-day work week
• Shared Saturday rotation (clinic closes early)
• No overnight or emergency shifts

Compensation

• ProSal compensation structure with strong earning potential
• Competitive base salary
• Production bonuses
• CE allowance and professional dues
• Health insurance and PTO

This role tends to appeal to veterinarians who enjoy varied cases, strong technician support, and practicing good medicine without excessive corporate oversight.
