About LOVS

LOVS isn’t new to the scene. We’ve proudly served Savannah for the past 10 years, offering cutting‑edge neurology and cardiology care with compassion at our core. Now, we’re growing into a state‑of‑the‑art facility and expanding our services to include emergency/critical care and additional specialties.

Our Mission

“To support and nourish the human‑animal bond and healthier communities by providing exceptional veterinary care in a pet‑centric environment with a positive, knowledgeable, and compassionate team – one pet, one person, and one veterinarian at a time.”

Why You’ll Love LOVS

• We’re Independent – No corporate overlords. You’ll have medical autonomy, a voice in shaping our hospital, and the freedom to practice the way you were trained.
• Pet‑Centric, People‑First – We hire culture‑first because medicine is better when the team truly enjoys working together. Collaboration and compassion are daily habits here.
• Work to Live, Not Live to Work – A 4‑day workweek with shared on‑call means you’ll actually get to enjoy your evenings, weekends, and that trip to the beach.
• Playful but Professional – We take our medicine seriously, but not ourselves. Expect high standards, belly laughs, and maybe the occasional pun.

The Toys You’ll Get to Play With

• 64‑Slice CT & 1.5 Tesla MRI
• Fluoroscopy & ultrasound
• Endoscopy & minimally invasive surgery
• A dedicated ICU for the tough cases
• In‑house lab for quick answers

What’s In It for You

• Competitive salary with production bonuses (no negative accrual)
• 4 weeks of paid vacation per year (use them!)
• Health, dental, life, and liability insurance
• 401(k) retirement plan
• CE allowance + time off
• Dues, memberships, and uniforms covered
• Relocation + signing bonuses

Why Savannah?

Think historic charm, cobblestone streets, and oak trees dripping with Spanish moss — but also beaches, food, music, and art galore. Savannah is coastal living with character, and you’ll actually have time to enjoy it.

Who We’re Looking For

• Board‑certified or residency‑trained specialists in Internal Medicine, Surgery, Cardiology, Neurology, or Emergency Critical Care
• Teammates who are collaborative, compassionate, and a little bit playful
• People who get fired up about advancing their skills and being part of something bigger than themselves
