Job Description

Introduction
Our client is a veterinary hospital seeking a veterinarian to join their well-established, AAHA-accredited small animal practice.

Role Description and Responsibilities
The role involves providing care across a wide range of clinical areas, including emergencies, internal medicine, soft tissue surgery, dentistry, orthopedics, wellness services, diagnostics, pain management, and walk-in appointments. The position is open to veterinarians of all experience levels, with structured mentorship available for new graduates.

Practice Details
The hospital is equipped with an in-house laboratory offering bloodwork, urinalysis, and cytology, along with ultrasound, digital radiographs, and laser therapy. Facilities support services such as dentistry, diagnostics, urgent care, microchipping, pain management, spay and neuter procedures, surgery, and wellness packages. Surgical capabilities include soft tissue, orthopedic, dental, and emergency procedures. The culture is supportive, experienced, and designed to help clinicians succeed.

Team
