Ownership or Associate Opportunity | Arista Advanced Pet Care Jacksonville

What makes Arista Jacksonville special?

The best description of Arista Jacksonville did not come from us.

It came from a candidate who spent the day in the hospital and watched the team work.

Yes, she noticed the beautiful space, thoughtful layout, and shiny new equipment. But that was not what she kept talking about afterward.

It was the people.

"Every patient felt like everyone's responsibility. Doctors helped each other with their cases, shared ideas, and stayed interested even when their names were nowhere on the chart. Most of all, everyone seemed genuinely happy to be there."

That is difficult to manufacture and impossible to fake.

Arista Jacksonville is built and led by women who practice excellent medicine and show up for one another. You can feel it when you walk through the door.

Meet the owners and Hospital Director

Our internist brings years of experience, advanced ultrasound skills, and a calming presence to the hospital. She is kind, funny, patient, and has a way of making clients and staff feel as though they are sitting down with a trusted friend. Outside the hospital, she supports local bird-conservation efforts and is passionate about creating safer, pollinator-friendly spaces. Caring for living things is apparently a full-time condition.

Our surgeon is a skilled, thoughtful clinician who brings focus, precision, and a steady presence to the operating room. She moved to Jacksonville because she wanted to build a surgery service within this collaborative group of women. She recently welcomed her first baby, who joins a family that already includes a horse named Bug and a growing gaggle of kittens.

Our criticalist has spent years training house officers who remain fiercely loyal to her because she shares her knowledge generously and makes people feel safe asking questions. She is invested in helping other veterinarians grow and is the person who will be there for you when a case gets complicated. Originally from Atlanta, she is now happily raising her family near the beach and has adapted to coastal life with remarkable ease.

Our ER doctor owner is the doctor you want beside you when things go sideways. She previously taught at UF, practices exceptionally high-level emergency medicine, and shows up whenever her team needs her. She also has a habit of surprising people with perfectly chosen little treasures because making others feel welcome and special is simply part of who she is.

Our Hospital Director understands how the hospital needs to run and how the people doing the work need to feel. She is direct, kind, hardworking, and a skilled ultrasonographer to boot. She understands what the medical team needs and knows how to turn it into a practical plan.

Who we're looking for

We are looking for an Oncologist who wants to join a hospital where collaboration is something people actually do, not simply a word printed in the job advertisement.

You may be a good fit if you:

• Are generous with technicians and fellow doctors
• Believe cases should go where they will receive the best care
• Want to teach and learn simply because contributing is the right thing to do
• Look for a way to say yes, even when it would be easier to say no
• Want to help build the culture, not sit on the sidelines and critique it
• Want to work with people who care about both excellent medicine and one another
• Have a sense of humor, because veterinary medicine is hard and we need to have some fun together while doing it

What working here looks like

You will practice in a modern emergency and multispecialty hospital where consultation happens in real time and complicated cases do not have to be managed alone.

The hospital itself is beautiful, well laid out, and equipped with the technology and tools needed to practice advanced medicine. More importantly, it is designed to make it easier for people and services to work together.

Our Care Navigation team guides clients through the referral experience. Scribble provides ambient dictation, allowing you to spend less time typing and more time practicing medicine. Instinct serves as our EMR and PIMS, bringing patient care, communication, and workflow together in a system our teams genuinely enjoy using.

Production is paid monthly, and our production dashboard lets you track your numbers daily. There are no mysterious calculations happening somewhere behind the curtain.

You will be supported and heard. Good ideas are welcome here. Even better, they have a reasonable chance of being implemented.

Finding your Jacksonville

Jacksonville is spread out. We will not pretend otherwise. The upside is that the area offers a surprising variety of beautiful neighborhoods and very different ways to live.

You can choose a walkable beach community, a polished coastal neighborhood, a family-friendly community with exceptional schools, more land, or historic streets closer to the city.

If you want to walk to coffee, dinner, local shops, and the ocean, Atlantic Beach and Neptune Beach offer a true neighborhood feel. Beaches Town Center sits where the two communities meet, with locally owned restaurants, boutiques, galleries, live music, and brick-lined sidewalks just blocks from the water.

If you want a more polished coastal lifestyle, Ponte Vedra offers beautiful beaches, golf, newer communities, and access to the highly regarded St. Johns County schools.

If you want more space, a larger home, or enough land to contemplate a horse of your own, Fruit Cove and the surrounding St. Johns communities offer a quieter, more residential setting. They also place families within the St. Johns County School District, which ranked #1 among Florida's 67 school districts in accountability points for 2026.

For historic homes, oak-lined streets, restaurants, art, and a little more city energy, Riverside, Avondale, and San Marco offer some of Jacksonville's most distinctive neighborhoods. The Riverside Arts Market brings together local artists, makers, food, live music, and even Saturday-morning yoga along the St. Johns River.

Jacksonville also gives you miles of beaches, year-round outdoor living, professional sports, museums, theater, farmers markets, an easy airport, and quick access to historic St. Augustine.

The secret is not trying to love all of Jacksonville. It is finding the part of Jacksonville that feels like yours.

The practical stuff

• Four weeks of paid time off
• $5,000 annual continuing education allowance
• 401(k) with a 4% match
• School loan repayment assistance
• Paid parental leave
• Pet insurance
• Production paid monthly
• No negative accrual
• No non-compete for associates

Arista was built around a simple belief: there need to be veterinarians who own hospitals again.

Owners who are in the building, understand the profession, and can make thoughtful decisions about how they care for patients, support their teams, and serve their communities.

We are not building a perfect hospital filled with people who never disagree. That hospital does not exist, despite what several job advertisements may have told you.

We are building something real with talented people who care, work hard, say yes, and want to make veterinary medicine feel worth choosing again.

If that sounds more interesting than another "fast-paced practice with a family feel," we should talk.
