Associate Veterinarian

Job Description

Are you looking to join a progressive, well-established hospital where you can practice high-quality medicine with the support of an experienced team and advanced technology at your fingertips?

I’m working with a nationally recognized small animal and exotics hospital in Louisville, KY that is looking to welcome an Associate Veterinarian to its growing team.

Established in 1999, this four-doctor hospital has built a loyal client base and an outstanding reputation for delivering comprehensive care to dogs, cats, and exotic species including birds and reptiles.

The facility is well-equipped with digital radiography, ultrasound, CO₂ surgical laser, acupuncture services, and therapeutic laser, allowing you to work cases up thoroughly and practice modern, integrative medicine.
