Associate Veterinarian - Big Creek Veterinary Hospital

Elevate Your Career and Find Your People at Big Creek Veterinary Hospital | Concord, Ohio's Best-Kept Veterinary Secret!

Tucked away in Concord, OH, a charming hidden gem just outside of Cleveland, Big Creek Veterinary Hospital is where great medicine meets even greater people. Think rolling Ohio landscapes, a buzzing local food scene, stunning Lake Erie sunsets, and a team that actually likes each other. We're growing, we're thriving, and we're looking for an Associate Veterinarian who's ready to do the same.

Explore local wineries, hit the links at nearby golf courses, and soak in the best of small-town charm with big-city convenience just down the road. Oh, and did we mention? No on-call. Ever.

Why You'll Love Us: 

• A Culture Worth Showing Up For - We treat our people the way the most magical places on earth treat their guests, with care, intention, and a whole lot of heart. Diverse perspectives aren't just welcomed here, they're celebrated. We're a team that laughs together, lifts each other up, and genuinely enjoys showing up to work. We're not just colleagues, we're a crew. Our team brings their full selves to work every day, and we've built something genuinely special here. Good medicine, good people, good vibes. It's that simple.
• Your Life Called. We Make Sure You Can Answer  -Four-day work week, daytime hours, rotating Saturdays, and zero on-call. That's not a typo. We mean it when we say your time outside the clinic matters. Your kids' recitals, your weekend hikes, your nothing-planned-and-loving-it Sundays... those belong to you. We've built our schedule around the belief that a veterinarian who gets to actually live their life shows up better for their patients, their clients, and their teammates. So go live yours.
• High Quality Care - We are a state-of-the-art Hospital with 13 exam rooms, digital X-ray, digital dental X-ray, surgical and dental suites, ultrasound, laser therapy, and a full in-house laboratory. Clean, modern, and equipped with everything you need to practice the kind of medicine you went to school for.
• We Invest in You - Whether you're a new grad looking for a strong mentor or a seasoned DVM ready to mentor others, we've got a seat at the table for you. From veterinary business fundamentals to leadership development and communication training, we've got you!

You are... 

• A US-licensed DVM who wants to make a real difference in animal healthcare, not just punch a clock.
• Someone who lights up building client relationships and thrives in a collaborative, team-first environment.
• A person who cares about the community they serve and wants their work to mean something.
• Passionate about animal care and the humans around you, whether that's mentoring, learning, or just being a great teammate.

Our base salary range is from $100k-$150k(or higher) based on experience and production capabilities. We have pro-sal and salary options and we're open to offering a sign-on bonus or relocation package. We can be creative with your total compensation package so that you get the things you need to be able to come join us! 

Not Local? No Problem!

Relocation assistance is on the table, and if you're the right fit, geography is just a detail we'll figure out together.

Now let's talk about why you're going to love it here.

Concord sits in that sweet spot between peaceful small-town living and everything a big city has to offer. You're close enough to Cleveland to catch a Guardians game, explore world-class museums, and dig into one of the best food scenes in the Midwest, but you come home to the kind of neighborhood where you actually know your neighbors.

Your dollar goes further here too. Whether you're buying your first home or just tired of paying big-city rent for a closet, the cost of living in Concord is genuinely refreshing.

Families thrive here, with strong schools and safe communities. On your days off, uncork a weekend at a local winery, tee off at a nearby golf course, or catch an unreal sunset on the shores of Lake Erie. The craft brewery scene is thriving, the restaurants are seriously underrated, and there's always something going on whether you're into live music, art, or just a great night out.

This isn't just a place to work. It's a place to build a life you actually love.

Ready to Find Your People?

We're building something special at Big Creek, a practice with deep community roots, a bold vision for the future, and a team that genuinely loves what they do.

If that sounds like your kind of place, we'd love to meet you.
