Join VSx Veterinary Surgery of Chicago – Where Trust Meets Expertise in Veterinary Surgery

Are you a Board-Certified Veterinary Surgeon ready to take your career to the next level?

At VSx, we’re building something special—an independently owned, surgeon-led surgical center that puts pets, people, and partnership first.

Our mission is simple but powerful:

To be Chicago’s most trusted partner in veterinary surgical care.

We combine cutting-edge expertise with heartfelt compassion to improve the lives of pets and support the general practice teams who care for them every day.

We’re currently seeking a Board-Certified Veterinary Surgeon to join our fast-growing, surgery-only practice this summer. You’ll be joining a collaborative and experienced team of surgeons who value excellence, kindness, and a truly team-driven approach to specialty care. You’ll be working directly with our founding members, who built VSx from the bottom up by their bootstraps, to help shape how those in our community receive care and are guided through treatment options.

What Makes VSx Different?

Independently Owned & Surgeon-Led

Co-founded by a board-certified surgeon, Dr. Marc Wosar, VSx is designed from the ground up to deliver exceptional surgical outcomes—with a fresh, thoughtful approach to how surgical practices should run.

Outpatient-Focused Model

We prioritize efficiency, patient comfort, and client convenience. Our surgical procedures and CT imaging cases are outpatient and we refer overnight care to trusted partners when needed.

Work-Life Balance

No weekends. No surgical on-call shifts. No overnight work. We believe that well rested surgeons who get to enjoy their lives and hobbies are better surgeons—and better humans.

Built to Collaborate

You won’t be flying solo. Our two board-certified surgeons bring a combined 35+ years of experience, and we foster a culture where knowledge is shared, and every voice is valued, including our highly skilled and hands-on support staff.

What You’ll Love About Working Here

From our 80-slice CT scanner for advanced soft tissue imaging, on-site radiology consults, and in-house labs, we’re equipped to handle complex cases with precision.

Our highly skilled and compassionate team is trained to anticipate needs, streamline surgery days, and provide gold-standard patient care.

Located in Chicago’s vibrant North Side—just a stone’s throw from Wrigley Field—you’ll enjoy an energetic neighborhood filled with great food, parks, and city charm.

In addition to a competitive base salary, production incentive, and benefits, we offer a unique pathway to practice ownership—because we believe surgeons should have a real stake in the future they’re building.

At VSx, we understand that when a pet requires surgery, it’s a significant moment for both the pet and their family. That’s why we’re committed to providing trusted, expert care that’s not only clinically advanced but also thoughtfully delivered—so clients and referring veterinarians feel confident at every step.

If you’re looking for a practice where your voice matters, your skills are respected, and your future is bright, we’d love to connect. Apply today or reach out to [e-mail] with any questions you might have.

Love our mission but not in Chicago? Let’s talk—there may be opportunities to bring VSx to your area.
