Description
What you can expect:
While based in San Francisco, our vision reaches far and wide - we aim to impact 5 million companion animals across California in the next ten years through direct care, training, and advocacy.
Our work centers on care, not profit. Salaries are competitive and not tied to production - there's no negative accrual here.
Compensation ranges from $150K for new grads to $225K+ for experienced DVMs, plus signing bonuses, CE and licensing support, and relocation assistance if applicable.
You'll work within a supportive and skill-diverse team structure that values collaboration and shared responsibility - not hierarchy. Everyone contributes to creating exceptional patient and client experiences.
Our DVMs work a consistent 4x10 schedule, giving you three full days to rest, explore, and recharge in the vibrant San Francisco Bay Area.
Ongoing mentorship and coaching are available at all stages of your career - whether you're developing surgical proficiency, refining your community medicine approach, or exploring leadership opportunities.
We are committed to fear-free, low-stress handling for every patient and a respectful, inclusive experience for every client.
You are: • Motivated by equity and justice in veterinary care • Grounded in the belief that the human-animal bond transcends income, race, housing status, or geography • Committed to providing relationship-centered care, with a focus on practicality, respect, and incremental approaches • Comfortable in surgery - or ready to build toward performing 25-35 spay/neuter procedures per day in a 2-doctor model • A team player who values collaboration and community - both within our department and in the city we serve
