Our client is a privately owned, family-run animal hospital seeking an Associate Veterinarian to join their dedicated and compassionate team. The clinic provides care for small animals and prides itself on delivering high-quality, personalized service with a strong emphasis on client relationships and patient comfort. The role is open to both experienced veterinarians and new graduates, with one of the current doctors offering mentorship and support for those early in their career.

This position is open to both new graduates seeking mentorship and experienced veterinarians looking to join a supportive, service-oriented team.

Practice Details
The hospital features four exam rooms, an Abaxis in-house laboratory, and touch-screen computers in every exam room. Equipment includes ultrasound, laser therapy, and both digital and dental X-ray capabilities. Services offered encompass surgery, wellness care, parasite prevention, dermatology, dental procedures, vaccinations, and laser therapy. The hospital’s strong community reputation is reflected in being voted Best Vet in Northern Kentucky in both 2021 and 2022, with another nomination in progress this year.
