Experienced Veterinary Receptionist - $21 - $25/hr

Are you an experienced veterinary receptionist that is burned out, unappreciated and stuck in a hospital work environment that doesn't align with your emotional well being?

Unfortunately you're not alone.


Over 80% of San Diego's Veterinary workforce is dissatisfied with their current hospital employer. Why?

• Toxic Management

We have the work environment people are leaving their current vet hospital for. Why?

• 99% employee retention rate since 2020
• Experienced Full-time Veterinarian
• Small hospital team with no strong personalities
• Owner is the Manager
