Associate Veterinarian - General Practice - Part Time

This is a rare part-time opportunity for an Associate Veterinarian to join a high-quality, privately owned clinic in Portland, OR. We’re partnering with a well-established, privately owned, small-animal hospital in the Portland area that is now looking to welcome an Associate Veterinarian into its team.

This is a rare part-time opportunity offering exceptional work–life balance, 40-minute appointment times, advanced dentistry, and a highly engaged client base who value thorough diagnostic workups. For the past year and a half, the practice has been operated solo by the owner-veterinarian after their long-term associate relocated from the region. The clinic is situated in a unique pocket of the city, attracting clientele who expect gold-standard care and are willing to pursue high-quality medicine. The hospital provides comprehensive general practice care with an emphasis on advanced dentistry and standard soft-tissue surgery. The owner is happy to continue handling the bulk of dentistry and surgery on their own days, making this ideal for someone who enjoys medicine and diagnostics, or for a newer veterinarian who would benefit from mentorship. However, if surgery is a key interest for you, then you’re more than welcome to take as much surgery as you can! You’ll be stepping into a culture that prioritizes quality over speed, respects clinical autonomy, and believes in doing things properly. This position is part-time (2–2.5 days per week, with optional flexibility up to 3 days), offering excellent earning potential with a $150,000 base for 2.5 days/week on production, or $125/$130,000 straight salary if preferred, and a further discussion for 3 days required.
