Job description

Veterinary medicine is hard, but it’s also beautiful. It’s the moment a client trusts you with their pet’s care. It’s a team that has your back on a chaotic morning. It’s knowing you did the right thing, even when it wasn’t the easy thing.

If you’re looking for a place where that kind of work matters, welcome to Lincolndale.

Who We Are

We’re a small (but mighty) AAHA-accredited small-animal practice in Westchester County, serving a loyal community of pet owners who genuinely appreciate what we do. We’re known for our warm relationships, high-quality medicine, and thoughtful care: for our patients, our clients, and each other.

We’re also growing, and we’re looking for a like-minded Associate Veterinarian to grow with us.

Where You Come In

This is a daytime-only position. No nights. No weekends. No on-call. Just meaningful work with a team that values you. (Full disclosure: we’re busy enough that we’re thinking about adding one evening a week, so flexibility in that regard is a big plus.)

You’ll:

• Provide compassionate, high-quality care for dogs, cats, and the occasional local critter
• Lead by example and mentor our assistants and support staff
• Help supervise and guide the team when the practice owner is off-site
• Work closely with the Practice Manager and Owner to keep our workflows smooth and our team supported
• Build and maintain the trusting, respectful relationships that make our clients lifelong fans
• Bring ideas, initiative, and a little joy to the exam room every day

What We’re Looking For

• DVM or VMD licensed in New York
• Strong communicator, both with clients and teammates
• Willing to mentor and lead with kindness and clarity
• A clinician who loves the medicine and the people
• Comfortable making decisions and keeping things running when needed
• Available for a full-time weekday schedule (no weekends)

What You’ll Get

• A practice that wants your input and supports your growth
• A team that laughs together, works hard, and (mostly) leaves on time
• Clients who trust you because you’ve earned it
• AAHA-level medicine with digital X-ray, Oncura ultrasound, in-house labs, therapeutic laser, and Pulse EMR
• A leadership team that prioritizes emotional, physical, and financial wellbeing
• Potential for performance-based bonuses
• Health insurance stipend
• Paid vacation, holidays, and sick leave
• Employee assistance program with 24-hour hotline
• Retirement plan with employer matching
• A genuinely family-friendly environment
• 401(k)
• 401(k) matching
• Employee assistance program
• Paid time off
