Job Description

Veterinary Surgeon - Virginia Veterinary Centers | Fredericksburg, VA

At Virginia Veterinary Centers (VVC) - Fredericksburg, we're looking for a board-certified or residency-trained Veterinary Surgeon to step into a well-established service within a collaborative, multi-disciplinary specialty and emergency hospital.

This is a rare opportunity to take over an existing caseload in a hospital that provides comprehensive specialty and emergency care, including critical care, diagnostic imaging, and emergency services, all under one roof!

Why Fredericksburg?

  • Fredericksburg offers something that's getting harder to find; space, history, and accessibility without sacrificing lifestyle.
  • Located halfway between Washington, D.C. and Richmond
  • A charming historic downtown with restaurants, shops, and waterfront views
  • Easy access to outdoor recreation along the Rappahannock River
  • More affordable living and less congestion than major metro areas
  • A true "best of both worlds" lifestyle-city access, small-town feel


About the Hospital

VVC Fredericksburg is a well-supported specialty and emergency center with a strong reputation in the region. The team is known for delivering compassionate, high-quality care and working collaboratively across services.

You'll be stepping into:

  • An established surgery service with referral demand
  • A hospital equipped to support advanced procedures and case management
  • A collaborative environment with experienced ER and critical care support


What Makes This Role Stand Out

This is an opportunity to step into a ready-made service while still having the autonomy to shape and grow it in your own way.

You'll have the support of a strong hospital infrastructure, paired with the flexibility to:

  • Build on an existing caseload
  • Develop your clinical interests
  • Influence the direction of the surgery service


And because every candidate's priorities are different, we're open to getting creative with the offer.

If you're looking for a role where you can walk into immediate impact, grow a service, and enjoy a more balanced lifestyle, we'd love to talk. Send your CV to Talent Acquisition Partner Amanda Schultz ([redacted]) to get the conversation started!

Ethos Veterinary Health offers a comprehensive benefits program including medical, dental, vision, a 401k with employer match, and paid time off (including sick time) for all eligible employees. The team can provide more information about compensation and benefits for your specific location during the process. For positions based in Colorado, EVH provides eligible employees with paid sick and safe leave and public health emergency leave in accordance with the requirements of Colorado's Healthy Families and Workplaces Act.
