Full Job Description
Opening January 2027!!!

PawDoc Urgent Care and Surgery Dental Center is opening a brand-new center in Tacoma, Washington! We are looking for a Veterinarian to perform Surgical and Dental procedures.

At PawDoc, we believe that every pet deserves access to essential and affordable surgical and dental care. We're building a service designed to remove barriers for families in our community, offering affordable procedures that keep pets healthy and thriving. This role is dedicated exclusively to surgery and dentistry, giving veterinarians the chance to focus on their craft while making a meaningful impact.

This position is ideal for:
  • Veterinarians passionate about service who want their skills to directly improve access to care.
  • Veterinarians who enjoy hands-on procedures and want to focus solely on surgery and dentistry.

We're not just building a hospital, we're building a movement toward sustainable, compassionate care. Our leadership is committed to an employee-first culture where every team member is valued, supported, and empowered.

We are looking to build a team of kind, capable professionals who show up for each other and our clients. Collaboration replaces hierarchy, mentorship comes without micromanagement, and every team member matters. Most importantly, you'll know your work is helping pets who might otherwise go without care.

At PawDoc, we are reimagining veterinary care to be more accessible, transparent, and stress-free for every pet family. By combining high-quality medicine with a concierge-style experience, we strive to make it easier for pet parents to get the care their pets need, without the anxiety or uncertainty. Our client-centric approach is designed around convenience and connection. From pre-visit digital onboarding to real-time SMS updates, we keep pet owners informed and engaged every step of the way. Our reception-less, open lobby ensures every client and pet is personally welcomed, while our team takes time to sit down with clients, review care plans, build trust, and take care of pets.

Every detail, from warm greetings to thoughtful pick-up experiences is intentional. We're not just providing veterinary services, we're creating a personalized partnership in care that puts the human-animal bond at the center of everything we do.

Compensation & Benefits
  • Competitive starting between $120,000 - 150,000
  • Sign-on or relocation bonus available
  • No non-compete
  • Paid parental leave
  • Generous PTO
  • 401(k) with employer match
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • HSA with company contribution
  • Employee discounts
  • and much more!
