Associate Veterinarian ( DVM ) Small Animal GP

Job Summary

Three Oaks Veterinary Wellness Center is an independently owned veterinary hospital in Brooksville, Florida, looking for an Associate Veterinarian to join our team and work alongside Dr. Taylor.

We're a busy general practice with an established caseload that includes everything you'd expect from small-animal medicine: wellness visits, sick appointments, diagnostics, surgery, dentistry, and ongoing patient care. We value thorough medicine, continuity of care, and giving our veterinarians the time and support they need to do their jobs well.

What makes our practice a little different is the variety of animals we see. Along with dogs and cats, we care for rabbits, birds, reptiles, backyard poultry, and select small hobby-farm animals. Exotic animal experience is not required. We're happy to support a veterinarian who is interested in learning.

We're looking for someone who wants to become a long-term part of the practice, share in the daily caseload, and have a meaningful voice in how our hospital grows and operates.

Duties and Responsibilities

• Provide comprehensive medical care for dogs and cats, including wellness examinations, sick visits, diagnostics, treatment, and follow-up care.
• Manage an established appointment caseload alongside Dr. Taylor, including scheduled visits, drop-offs, and same-day cases.
• Perform or participate in general-practice surgery and dentistry based on experience, training, and professional interests.
• Develop diagnostic and treatment plans, communicate recommendations to clients, and oversee ongoing patient care.
• Maintain accurate, timely medical records and manage follow-up communication for assigned cases.
• Work collaboratively with our veterinary technicians, assistants, and reception team to provide efficient, thoughtful patient care.
• Participate in exotic animal medicine as appropriate to experience and interest, with support available for those who wish to learn.

Skills and Qualifications

• DVM or VMD degree from an accredited veterinary program, with an active Florida veterinary license or eligibility for licensure.
• A solid foundation in small-animal general practice, including preventive care, common medical conditions, and diagnostic workups.
• Good communication skills and the ability to explain medical findings and treatment options clearly to pet owners.
• Ability to manage patient cases independently at a level appropriate to experience, with collaboration and mentorship available when needed.
• Willingness to work as part of a team and contribute to the continued improvement of the practice.
• Experience in surgery, dentistry, or exotic animal medicine is welcomed but not required in every area.

Compensation & Benefits

• Starting salary of $120,000 annually, with higher compensation available based on experience and qualifications.
• Straight salary structure with no production requirements.
• Two weeks of paid time off.
• $3,000 annual continuing education allowance plus three paid CE days.
• Paid Florida veterinary license and AVMA/FVMA membership dues.
• Employee pet care benefits.

Both experienced veterinarians and new graduates are encouraged to apply.
