Veterinarian

Fox Run is an independently owned small animal hospital that focuses on exceptional diagnostic and medical care. We have state-of-the-art technology, well-maintained equipment, and we stay abreast of research in veterinary science to provide the most current and effective medical procedures. Our cohesive team of technicians and assistants are dedicated to our mission and values. We are seeking an experienced veterinarian who mirrors this commitment to solid medical care.

Our support staff are empowered to operate within their full scope of practice. We thrive on providing the best care in our area, then we go home to enjoy a well-earned work-life balance with a 4-day workweek, no weekends, after-hour or on-call assignments. Our doctors are focused on providing best practices in medicine while leaving personnel and administrative tasks to our management team.

Fox Run is an easy commute from the surrounding areas where you will find a wide range of lifestyles, so whether you prefer city life, rural communities, waterfront property or a suburb, it is rare to be stuck in rush-hour traffic. Metamora itself is an affluent, rural area known for horse enthusiasts. Although we are named in honor of our horse-handling neighbors, we treat small animals, pocket pets, hobby farm animals, and some exotics. Our schedule is designed to offer urgent care to our area, along with providing customary medical / surgical care and patient education.
