Medical Lead Veterinarian at Kronenwetter Veterinary Care

Medical Lead Veterinarian Kronenwetter Veterinary Care

Kronenwetter Veterinary Care offers an exceptionally broad scope of medicine including wellness and preventative care, internal medicine, advanced diagnostics, comprehensive dentistry, soft-tissue surgery, pain management, dermatology, nutrition, and client education. The hospital also supports integrative and alternative therapies, including acupuncture, herbal medicine, and laser therapy, alongside advanced in-house diagnostics such as ultrasound, digital radiography, and laboratory services.

Doctors interested in continuing to expand surgically can gain exposure to advanced procedures including orthopedics, with opportunities for training and continued skill development. Exotic and avian medicine can also be incorporated for veterinarians interested in a more diverse caseload.

This is first and foremost a clinical position, not a desk job. You'll spend the majority of your time doing what you became a veterinarian to do: seeing patients, working through cases, performing procedures, and building relationships with clients. The leadership component is about being a leader of medicine, helping maintain strong clinical standards, creating consistency around patient care, supporting collaboration among doctors, and partnering with hospital leadership as the practice continues to grow.

If you've been thinking about taking the next step in your career but don't want to leave clinical medicine behind, this could be that next step.

Kronenwetter offers flexibility for doctors whose clinical interests lean toward General Practice, Urgent Care, or a combination of both. Your clinical caseload can reflect your strengths and interests while your Medical Lead responsibilities remain focused on supporting excellent medicine across the hospital.

You'll also have access to our Clinical Tracks Program, offering complimentary RACE-approved CE facilitated by veterinary specialists within our network, in addition to generous continuing education support.

Practice alongside a friendly, compassionate, and highly capable support team committed to excellent patient care. Our technicians provide strong support with anesthesia monitoring, surgical and dental procedures, diagnostics, treatment, therapy modalities, patient care, and client communication, allowing doctors to focus their time on medicine and clinical decision-making.

Our full-service, AAHA-accredited hospital is equipped to support both comprehensive everyday medicine and more advanced case workups. The facility includes multiple exam rooms, treatment and diagnostic areas, surgical and dental capabilities, in-house laboratory services, ultrasound, digital radiography, therapeutic modalities, and equipment supporting advanced surgical procedures.

We want a leader who is approachable, collaborative, and comfortable creating an environment where doctors can ask questions, respectfully challenge one another, discuss cases, and continue learning.

Enjoy a diverse caseload primarily consisting of dogs and cats, with opportunities to incorporate avian and exotic medicine based on your interests and experience. Between GP, same-day and urgent cases, advanced diagnostics, surgery, dentistry, integrative medicine, and additional species, there is plenty of variety for a veterinarian who enjoys staying clinically engaged.

If you're an experienced veterinarian who loves practicing medicine but is ready to have a greater impact on the doctors, clinical standards, and future of a hospital, we'd love to meet you. Whether you're an established veterinary leader or the experienced clinician who's beginning to think, "I could see myself doing more," we're open to the conversation.

For veterinarians who are ready to put down roots, take the next step professionally, and still have plenty of life outside of work, the Greater Wausau area offers an appealing combination of career opportunity, community, affordability, and four-season recreation.
