This is a high-ceiling earning opportunity in a hospital ready to support your growth.

  • Autonomy: Practice medicine your way-with support, not micromanagement

The Team

You'll work alongside a collaborative, experienced team that genuinely enjoys working together. Our support staff is skilled and engaged, allowing our doctors to focus on what they do best-practicing great medicine.

  • Paid parental leave + adoption assistance
  • Generous PTO + Carebnb access (free stays at vacation properties)
  • CE allowance + dedicated CE time
  • Mentorship and career development support
  • Employee Assistance Program, including access to an on-staff licensed social worker

Who We're Looking For
  • Experienced DVM
  • Comfortable with surgery
  • Team-oriented with a positive, collaborative mindset
  • Passionate about delivering high-quality patient care
