Having served the local community for more than 18 years, the hospital has built a reputation for delivering high-quality medicine, exceptional client service, and strong client relationships. This opportunity is ideal for a veterinarian who enjoys collaborative medicine, values strong support staff, and has an interest in working up challenging internal medicine cases within a fast-paced and well-equipped environment.

Role Description and Responsibilities
The Associate Veterinarian will provide comprehensive medical care for a diverse caseload of dogs, cats, exotics, and pocket pets, although there is no obligation to see all species.

The clinic operates within a paper-lite practice management system and emphasizes comprehensive patient care, strong communication, and clinical excellence. Hospital hours are Monday through Friday from 7:00am to 6:00pm and Saturdays from 8:00am to 4:00pm. The practice combines the feel of a community-focused hospital with access to the resources and professional development opportunities of a larger veterinary network.

Team
The hospital currently has a team of five veterinarians and is seeking a sixth doctor to join the practice. The veterinary team is supported by seven licensed veterinary technicians, highly skilled assistants, and an experienced reception team, creating an impressive support staff-to-doctor ratio of approximately 6:1.
