Job Description

What if you could practice in the heart of the city, and help write a neighborhood institution's next chapter?

Forest Glen Animal Hospital has served Chicago's Jefferson Park neighborhood since 1963, and it's entering an exciting new chapter under fresh Medical Director leadership. This is a chance to join a trusted, AAHA-accredited practice with loyal, highly compliant clients and real room to shape where the hospital goes next, all without ever leaving the city.

The Opportunity:
• A chance to help shape the future of a beloved, established Northwest Side practice
• Loyal, highly compliant clients who support preventive care, chronic case management, and thorough diagnostic workups
• A consistently busy dentistry caseload that can include advanced level 2 and 3 extractions
• Ideal for a forward-thinking DVM with 2 to 5 years of experience; interest in client education or community outreach is a plus

The Resources:
• An AAHA-accredited and AAFP Cat Friendly, 5,000-square-foot hospital with five exam rooms and an open, collaborative layout
• Bright surgical suite with one large surgery area and two tables, plus a large treatment area and isolation room
• Advanced dentistry setup with digital dental x-ray
• GE Versana ultrasound, digital radiographs, in-house blood work, and a large in-house pharmacy

The Lifestyle:
• Live in the city itself, on tree-lined Northwest Side streets known as the "Gateway to Chicago"
• Grab ribs at the legendary Gale Street Inn or a Chicago-style dog at Superdawg, and catch a show at the historic Copernicus Center
• Skip the car with the Blue Line and Metra both minutes away, connecting you to all of downtown

ProSal Compensation & Benefits:
• Starting salary of $120,000-$130,000 plus production bonuses
• 401(k) with company match
• Access to CE courses (dentistry, ultrasound, surgery, and more) at NVA's nearby PetOne Training Center in Addison, IL
• Professional liability coverage, DEA and state licensing, and VIN membership
• PTO, paid CE, and CE/licensing reimbursement
• Generous staff pet discounts
• Final compensation commensurate with experience, skills, schedule, and scope of services provided
