Associate veterinarian - veterinary hospital

Small-animal general practice in Clinton Township, Michigan, is looking for a veterinarian to join its six-doctor team, with a salary of $130,000 to $140,000 plus production bonus and a $25,000 sign-on bonus.
Atlas is excited to be working with a hospital that places consistent emphasis on surgery and dentistry alongside the everyday demands of general practice. The caseload includes wellness and preventive care, diagnostics, urgent care and soft-tissue surgery, giving doctors a varied workload with regular opportunities to carry out procedures.

Many clients have been coming to the hospital for years, allowing veterinarians to build lasting relationships and follow patients over time. The practice has a strong technician and assistant team supporting appointments and procedures, helping doctors focus on clinical decisions and patient care.

The working environment is calm and steady, with an emphasis on colleagues supporting one another and keeping day-to-day challenges manageable. Veterinarians have the autonomy to work up cases and approach surgery according to their clinical judgement, with experienced team members available to provide support when needed.

The position can suit both newer graduates and experienced veterinarians. Those earlier in their careers can access mentorship and structured development, particularly in surgery and dentistry, while more experienced doctors can practise independently and take on a broader surgical caseload.
