Job description

Board Certified Small Animal Surgeon (DACVS (SA)) at Outpatient Surgical Center

At Vantage Veterinary Surgery, we have built something different.

Located in Bergen County, New Jersey, Vantage is New Jersey's first veterinary surgical center. A privately owned, outpatient, appointment-only specialty practice focused exclusively on delivering exceptional surgical care, outstanding client experiences, and an unparalleled work environment. Founded by board-certified surgeon Dr. Thomas Monaco, Vantage was created to elevate what specialty veterinary surgery can be for patients, clients, referring veterinarians, and our own team.

Over the past 4 years, Vantage has built an outstanding reputation across the NY / NJ metro area. With strong demand for our services, we are looking for a Board-Certified Surgeon (DACVS (SA)) or Residency Trained Veterinarian to join our team.

Why Vantage?

Surgery Without the Chaos

We are not a 24-hour emergency hospital. We are an outpatient, appointment-only surgical center designed specifically to provide the highest quality patient and client care. We spend our time practicing surgery, not managing a constant stream of emergency interruptions.

Quality of Life Matters

Vantage is open Monday through Friday. No overnight shifts. No weekends. No major holidays. We believe that delivering the highest quality surgical care starts with taking care of our team.

Private Ownership

Vantage is doctor-owned and operated. Decisions are made by veterinarians, not corporate executives. We are committed to creating a collaborative, supportive culture where great medicine and great people come first.

State-of-the-Art Facility

Our modern 6,500-square-foot surgical center is equipped with advanced surgical, anesthesia, imaging, and monitoring technology, including a 64-slice CT scanner and minimally invasive surgical capabilities.

Unmatched Reputation

Clients describe us as compassionate, transparent, highly skilled, and communicative - and many travel significant distances for our care. Our Google reviews speak for themselves, highlighting both our surgical outcomes and our commitment to treating every patient like family.

Access to It All

Vantage is located in Bergen County, New Jersey, an affluent New York City suburb known for its top-ranked public and private schools. Whatever lifestyle you're after, it's easily within reach: suburban family life, a night out in the city, a hike at a nature preserve, a weekend at the beach or a ski mountain, and access to three major airports.

The Opportunity

Vantage offers something increasingly rare in specialty practice: a sustainable schedule, a team who loves where they work, and the opportunity to build a rewarding career without sacrificing your life outside of work. This position offers the chance to:

Perform primarily orthopedic surgery along with soft tissue, oncologic, and minimally invasive procedures
Work alongside an experienced surgical and anesthesia team who loves where they work
Practice high-level specialty medicine in an environment designed specifically for surgery
Address the current demand for our surgical services while helping shape future growth
Strengthen an existing network of referral veterinarians, developing new relationships and sustaining those built over 10+ years
Collaborate with an established surgeon who has been board certified for over 12 years

Who We're Looking For

This position is a good fit for someone who is:

Board Certified (DACVS (SA)) or Residency Trained and planning to sit for boards
Passionate about surgical outcomes as well as exceptional patient and client care
A collaborative team player who values communication and mentorship
Dedicated to building relationships with clients and referring veterinarians
Excited by the opportunity to be part of a modern, innovative specialty practice
Most importantly, embodies our core values: Transparency. Empathy. Service. Teamwork. Excellence.

Competitive Compensation & Benefits

We recognize that exceptional surgeons deserve exceptional support. Vantage offers a highly competitive compensation and benefits package designed to reward your expertise and help you thrive both professionally and personally. Benefits include:
