Urgent Care Veterinarian - Summerville, SC

Job Description

Job Description

Vet-Owned. People-First.

AcutePet Urgent Care is redefining how urgent veterinary care is delivered.

Since opening in May 2025, our Summerville team has quickly become a trusted resource for pet families and local veterinarians throughout the Lowcountry. That growth is driven by a strong clinical culture, meaningful community relationships, and a real need for thoughtful, accessible urgent care. As demand continues to build, we’re adding to our team and looking for additional veterinarians who want to practice high-quality medicine in a model designed for both clinical excellence and personal sustainability.

We deliver emergency-level care in an urgent care setting. That means meaningful cases, strong diagnostics, and real impact — without overnights or the intensity of traditional 24/7 ER schedules.

This role may be a strong fit for:

• Emergency veterinarians seeking a shift from overnight or high-acuity ER
• Experienced general practitioners ready to expand their scope
• Early-career DVMs interested in urgent care with structured mentorship
• Doctors who value autonomy alongside collaborative support

Why Summerville?
Summerville is one of the fastest-growing communities in the Charleston region, known for its welcoming neighborhoods, strong sense of community, and continued residential growth.

The area offers:

• Family-friendly neighborhoods and strong community connection
• Easy access to Charleston, beaches, dining, and culture
• Parks, trails, and outdoor recreation throughout the Lowcountry
• A growing population of engaged pet owners
• A strong network of local veterinary professionals and referral relationships

The continued growth of the region has increased demand for thoughtful, accessible urgent care — making this hospital an essential resource for both pet families and surrounding primary care practices.
