Job Description

Ready to influence more than your own cases?
This opportunity in the greater Rochester area combines hands-on small-animal general practice with the chance to guide medical standards, develop colleagues, and help shape a hospital's next chapter.

You'll partner with practice leadership to improve clinical workflows, support team development, and maintain high standards of patient care—while continuing to see patients and perform procedures you enjoy.

Why Consider This Move?

• Real clinical influence: Help guide medical protocols, patient safety standards, and continuous improvement initiatives.

• Leadership with clinical involvement: Balance patient care with mentoring, coaching, and practice development.

• Room to strengthen surgery and dentistry: Bring your interests to the forefront and help expand these services.

• Support for developing leaders: Prior leadership experience is preferred, but veterinarians ready to take the next step can be considered.

• A collaborative environment: Work alongside practice management and broader veterinary leadership to support team performance and care quality.

• Meaningful earning potential: Production-based compensation, additional leadership pay, and quarterly production incentives.

The Medicine and Leadership

This is a companion-animal general practice role with responsibilities spanning clinical care, surgery, dentistry, team mentorship, medical protocol development, and quality improvement. You'll help support associate veterinarians, strengthen clinical processes, and contribute to recruitment and retention efforts.

The practice is also exploring improvements in patient handling and care standards, with opportunities to contribute to the ongoing evolution of its medical approach.

Who Might Thrive Here?

An experienced small-animal veterinarian with strong clinical judgment, good communication skills, and an interest in developing people—not just treating patients. Previous supervisory or mentorship experience is helpful, but an emerging medical leader with the right approach may also be a fit.
