Job Description

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

Join a growing small animal practice where veterinarians are encouraged to explore their interests, strengthen their clinical skills, and build a rewarding career. Whether you're an experienced DVM or a new graduate, you'll find mentorship, hands-on learning, and a team that values collaboration.

What You'll Find Here

• Diverse caseload spanning general medicine, dentistry, surgery, and reproduction

• Strong exposure to soft tissue and orthopedic procedures

• Supportive mentorship and opportunities for additional surgical training

• Modern diagnostic and treatment equipment

• A team that values communication, teamwork, and continuous learning

• Opportunities to shape your professional interests and career path

Compensation + Schedule

• Salary: $115,000–$130,000 annually, negotiable based on experience

• Sign-on bonus of up to $50,000

• Additional bonus incentives

• Flexible work schedules

• Unlimited personal time

• Relocation assistance available

What You'll Do

• Examine, diagnose, and treat companion animals

• Perform medical, dental, and surgical procedures

• Operate diagnostic equipment, collect samples, and interpret results

• Educate clients on preventive care and treatment options

• Provide compassionate end-of-life care

• Maintain accurate patient records and follow veterinary standards

What You Bring

• DVM degree from an AVMA-accredited institution

• Appropriate state veterinary license

• Eligibility to obtain DEA/BNDD registration

• Strong communication and interpersonal skills

• A commitment to quality medicine, client education, and collaborative care

Veterinarians of all experience levels are welcome. An interest in surgery or reproduction medicine is a great fit, but a willingness to learn and grow is just as important.

Benefits

• Health, dental, and vision insurance

• 401(k) and Roth retirement plans with employer match

• CE allowance and licensure reimbursement

• Professional development and career growth opportunities

• Employee Assistance Program and mental health resources

• DVM referral program
