Job description

Glenroads Veterinary Clinic is looking for a full-time Veterinarian to join our team in Bettendorf, IA.

Glenroads Veterinary Clinic is seeking a full-time Veterinarian to join our growing team in Bettendorf, Iowa-conveniently located in the heart of the Quad Cities, with easy access to Davenport, Iowa and Moline, Illinois. We offer a rare blend of mentorship, clinical autonomy, and work-life balance, including no nights, no on-call, and only every other Saturday hours. Whether you’re an experienced DVM or a new graduate, this is an opportunity to thrive in a supportive environment where your career development and well-being are just as important as the care you provide.

About You

You can care for pets throughout every stage of their lives, build lasting relationships with clients, and become a trusted part of the local community. Whether you’re an experienced veterinarian or a new graduate, you’ll find a supportive, collaborative environment where your growth is a priority.

For experienced doctors, this is an opportunity to practice high-quality medicine with clinical autonomy while collaborating with a strong, team-oriented staff. For new graduates, we offer hands-on mentorship, guidance in medical decision-making, and a welcoming environment where questions are encouraged and learning is continuous.

You’ll be empowered to focus on what matters most-delivering exceptional care and supporting the health and well-being of every patient-while developing your skills and confidence at your own pace.

Our progressive compensation model includes competitive base salaries with production compensation opportunities-plus, no negative accrual.

You’re willing and able to provide comprehensive medical, surgical, and dental care, collaborate with a supportive team, communicate effectively with clients, and contribute to a positive culture centered on continuous learning and patient-focused care.

We pride ourselves on delivering high-quality medicine with a compassionate, personalized approach. Teamwork, communication, and a commitment to growth are all equally important.

We are open Monday through Friday with rotating every other Saturday hours from 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM, and no evening, overnight, or on-call responsibilities, giving you the ability to enjoy everything the Quad Cities area has to offer both professionally and personally.

At Glenroads Veterinary Clinic, a Thrive Pet Healthcare partner, you will have the support, tools, and resources to elevate your skills. As a hospital deeply rooted in the local community, you will experience the best of both worlds: a genuine local culture with the benefits of Thrive’s national resources.
