$165k - $180k

Dr Kelly's Surgical Unit

Job Description

Job Description

$50K-$100K SIGNING BONUS

Surgical Veterinarian - 4 day week -Phoenix

Dr. Kelly's Surgical Unit is seeking an experienced Veterinarian who is passionate about surgery and ready to enjoy a healthier work-life balance.

We are surgical generalists providing exceptional, affordable care to pets throughout Arizona while allowing our doctors to focus on what they do best—surgery. Our caseload includes spays, neuters, dentals, mass removals, and other soft tissue procedures, all supported by highly trained technicians and modern equipment.

$50K-$100K SIGNING BONUS

We serve a diverse and growing client base, united by one common goal: putting pets first. Each year, we help more than 25,000 pet parents access high-quality, affordable care for the animals they love most.

If you're looking for an opportunity to make a meaningful impact, we'd love to have you join us. Great pets deserve great doctors—and we're always looking for exceptional veterinarians to be part of our mission.

Relocation Assistance Available!

Want a better quality of life without sacrificing pay? Do you like the surgery but the rooms...not so much?

Why join our team:

  • Consistent 4-day work week.
  • Competitive base salary of $165,000–$180,000, plus production-based compensation and comprehensive benefits!
  • Focus exclusively on surgery, including spays, neuters, dentals, mass removals, and other soft tissue procedures.
  • Enjoy practicing surgery without the demands of general practice—no exam rooms, wellness appointments, extensive workups, or complicated treatment plans.
  • Work alongside a highly skilled nursing team utilizing state-of-the-art equipment and modern surgical facilities.
  • Join a well-established, privately owned, and rapidly growing organization with multiple Arizona locations and continued expansion on the horizon.
  • Every veterinarian is supported by a dedicated team of four experienced technicians, allowing you to focus on providing exceptional patient care.

Perfect for the Veterinarian who:

  • Loves surgery and wants to focus on patient care rather than client sales and treatment-plan negotiations.
  • Is ready to step away from chronic case management and the challenges of ongoing compliance issues.
  • Values a predictable schedule and a healthier work-life balance.
  • Wants to increase their earning potential without sacrificing time with family and the people who matter most.
  • Thrives in a fast-paced surgical environment or is excited to develop the skills needed to perform 14–17 procedures per day.
  • Enjoys working closely with a small, collaborative team where everyone contributes and supports one another.
  • Wants the stability of an established, growing organization with the resources, equipment, and leadership to help them succeed.
  • Is passionate about surgery and eager to spend more time doing what they love and less time dealing with the frustrations often associated with traditional general practice.
