SAGE Campbell is seeking a Certified Rehabilitation Veterinarian to lead and grow our Rehabilitation Service within an established, highly collaborative specialty hospital. You'll step into a service with a strong referral base, exceptional support, and a purpose-built rehabilitation space designed to help patients—from competitive athletes to senior pets—return to their best quality of life.

Our tenured team includes boarded specialists in Anesthesiology, Emergency & Critical Care, Neurology, Medical Oncology, Rehabilitation, and Surgery, in addition to ER and Urgent Care clinicians.

SAGE also places a strong emphasis on the well-being of its people. A dedicated social worker is available to support both staff and clients through difficult cases and care decisions, reflecting a culture that values the whole team—not just the medicine.

A Rehabilitation Service Built for Growth

You'll have access to a thoughtfully designed rehabilitation department equipped for both wet and dry therapies, including:

• Dedicated aquatic space with a water treadmill
• Spacious dry rehabilitation gym for athletes, seniors, and post-operative patients
• PEMF beds and Assisi loops
• Cutting-edge laser therapy
• Separate wet and dry treatment spaces with a pass-through door, allowing simultaneous treatments

This is an opportunity to take an already well-equipped service and help define its continued growth, clinical offerings, and role within the broader SAGE specialty community.

Benefits for this role may include health insurance (medical, dental, vision), retirement benefits, paid time off (including sick leave and vacation), short-term and long-term disability, and life insurance.

• Competitive compensation
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• CE allowance and professional development support
• Paid continuing education
• Professional memberships, dues, and licensing fees
• Paid time off

• Utilize aquatic and dry rehabilitation modalities, including water treadmill therapy, PEMF, laser therapy, and other available technologies
• Collaborate closely with Surgery, Neurology, Emergency & Critical Care, and other specialty teams on shared patients
• Build and strengthen relationships with referring veterinarians and serve as a trusted rehabilitation resource for the community
• Help expand the scope and clinical offerings of the Rehabilitation service in alignment with hospital priorities
• Educate clients on rehabilitation plans, expectations, and at-home care
• Mentor and collaborate with rehabilitation technicians and support staff
• Communicate clearly and compassionately with clients throughout the rehabilitation process
• Contribute to a positive, team-focused hospital culture built on collaboration, mentorship, and continuous learning

What You Bring
