Job description

Description

Rethink Your Career — Reimagine Veterinary Medicine

At True.Vet Sugar Grove, we’re building more than a clinic — we’re shaping a future where veterinary professionals can grow, thrive, and take ownership of their careers. We believe in mentorship without micromanagement, autonomy without burnout, and career tracks that lead to something more than just more shifts.

This is an ideal role for a veterinarian with a growth mindset who wants to develop both clinically and professionally. Whether you're fresh out of school or looking to find a better fit, you'll be supported by a forward-thinking team that values education, wellbeing, and long-term opportunity.

Why This Role Is Different

• $120,000/year starting salary
• Student loan support options available — personalized to your needs
• Mentorship from experienced DVMs and access to True Vet Potential, our in-house platform for leadership and business training
• Pathway to ownership if desired, with full transparency
• No non-compete clause — freedom to grow, anywhere
• Independently owned — no corporate red tape, no private equity

What You'll Do

• Deliver thoughtful, high-quality care with time to connect with clients
• Collaborate with CVTs and assistants in a trust-based, team-first culture
• Work in a hybrid model: scheduled appointments, urgent care, and virtual care integration
• Learn about business operations and leadership if you’re interested in future ownership

Built to Support Your Best Work

You’ll practice in a modern, beautifully designed facility with advanced diagnostics, in-house surgery and dentistry, and smart scheduling systems that keep the focus where it should be — on the pet and client.

Our telehealth platform supports client communication, rechecks, and accessible follow-up care while easing your caseload and expanding our reach. Our hospital has walk-in capacity, but appointments are never chaotic or overwhelming — we’ve designed this to work.

About the Practice:

• Comprehensive wellness care
• Same-day urgent care and diagnostics
• Advanced surgery and dentistry (with training and mentorship available)
• A membership-based model that makes care more predictable for clients and teams

Whether you're looking to hone your medical skills, explore leadership, or step toward ownership — this is the place to do it. Let's build something better, together.
