Emergency Veterinarian

FOUNDED BY EMERGENCY VETERINARIANS WHO STILL WORK THE FLOOR Privately owned. Veterinarian led. Built for emergency medicine. Let’s be honest. Nobody chooses emergency medicine because they want routine appointments, predictable schedules, or the same day twice. We do it because we thrive on the challenge. And if we’re being completely honest…You probably enjoy a little chaos too! That’s why we built Valor Veterinary Emergency Hospital. We’re the only 24/7 emergency veterinary hospital in our region, and we’ve built a hospital focused on practicing excellent medicine while creating a workplace where people actually enjoy coming to work. We are owned by veterinarians and led by veterinarians and veterinary technicians. We believe veterinary technicians are critical partners in patient care, not assistants standing on the sidelines. Our doctors and technicians work together as a team, relying on each other’s skills, experience, and judgment to provide the highest level of care possible. You’ll find us collaborating on challenging cases, celebrating victories, supporting each other through difficult moments, and maintaining a snack collection that has become slightly excessive. We’re a little feral. Not “raccoons running around on the treatment floor” feral. More like “someone left 2.5 Pringles in the can and now there’s an active investigation.” Twice (True story). But beneath the humor is a team that genuinely enjoys emergency medicine and genuinely enjoys working together.
