Job description

A surgery-heavy GP in coastal San Diego where the associate schedule is built around three clinical days per week, rotating Saturdays, and a 3:1 support ratio.

This hospital sees approximately 16 to 18 patients per day, with a caseload weighted toward surgery alongside wellness, dentistry, and sick-patient appointments. The facility has digital radiography, ultrasound, electrocardiography, and full in-house laboratory capabilities, allowing doctors to work up and manage a broad range of cases within the hospital.

The position is full-time across three days per week with rotating Saturdays. The clinical team includes highly trained support staff at roughly a three-to-one ratio, with technicians and client service staff helping doctors stay focused on appointments, procedures, and patient care.

This is an established practice in Point Loma Heights, a couple of miles from the beach, with a strong local client base. The hospital has a reputation for maintaining a high standard of care and has a notably well-trained team, making the role suited to a veterinarian who wants substantial surgical exposure without working without adequate support.

Medical autonomy is encouraged, with operational and medical support available through the wider organization. Mentorship is available, and the role can suit an experienced GP veterinarian or a doctor looking to further develop surgical and general practice skills.
