Managing Veterinarian Opportunity

Eastside Pet Clinic in Idaho Falls, ID

Eastside Pet Clinic, a trusted and well-established practice serving Idaho Falls since 1970, is seeking a Managing Veterinarian to lead our medical team while continuing to practice high-quality, compassionate medicine. This role is ideal for a veterinarian who enjoys mentoring others, shaping medical standards, and having a meaningful voice in clinic operations-all while maintaining work-life balance.

About Our Practice

Over the years, we've thoughtfully updated our hospital to create a modern, welcoming environment. Our most recent-and largest-renovation was completed in July 2025. The clinic features:
  • Seven exam rooms
  • A spacious treatment area
  • A dedicated quiet cat zone
  • A surgical suite with two tables
  • Two fully equipped dental areas

We are well-equipped with digital radiology, digital dental radiology, ultrasound, tonopen, endoscopy, and six anesthetic machines, all supported by advanced warming and monitoring systems. We also have equipment to perform a wide range of orthopedic procedures in-house. Orthopedic experience is not required, but interest or motivation to learn these surgeries is highly welcomed and supported.

The Role

As Managing Veterinarian, you will:
  • Lead and mentor our veterinary team, fostering a collaborative and supportive culture
  • Help guide medical protocols and standards of care
  • Partner with practice manager on workflow, efficiency, and team development
  • Maintain a clinical caseload while shaping the future direction of the hospital


This is a hands-on leadership role designed for someone who wants influence without sacrificing time with patients.

Team & Culture

Our exceptional support staff is experienced, engaged, and deeply committed to excellent patient and client care. We invest in our team through regular training, ongoing development, and access to online learning tools-even during work hours.

One of our greatest strengths is our loyal, long-standing client base. Clients trust our doctors, are highly compliant, and are comfortable seeing multiple veterinarians, making it easy to build and sustain a strong caseload.

Schedule & Work-Life Balance

We are proud to offer true work-life balance:
  • No overnights/On Call
  • Strong partnership with a local emergency clinic
  • Flexible scheduling options to support your lifestyle
