Managing Veterinarian | Swan Creek Veterinary Clinic

Leadership doesn't have to mean giving up the part of veterinary medicine you love.

At Swan Creek Veterinary Clinic, we're looking for a Managing Veterinarian who enjoys mentoring others, practicing high‑quality medicine, and helping shape the future of a thriving hospital—all while maintaining a healthy work‑life balance.

Whether you've been leading a team for years or you're ready to take the next step in your career, we'll provide the support, training, and resources to help you succeed. And if ownership has ever been part of your long‑term goals, joint ownership is available—but never required.

Why You'll Love It Here

At Swan Creek, we believe the best hospitals are built by happy, supported teams.

• Flexible scheduling that respects your life outside of work
• A collaborative team that genuinely enjoys working together
• Approximately five hours of protected administrative time each week
• Six months of leadership and management training
• Ongoing mentorship from experienced operational leaders and fellow Managing Veterinarians
• Opportunities to grow professionally while still practicing medicine
• Optional joint ownership for those interested in practice leadership

A Hospital Designed for Great Medicine

Since opening in 2007, Swan Creek Veterinary Clinic has become a trusted part of the Harford County community. Today, our 2 full‑time and 3 part‑time veterinarians work together to provide exceptional care in a supportive, team‑first environment.

• In‑house laboratory
• Laser therapy
• Dentistry
• EKG services
• Experienced support staff who help doctors practice efficiently

We believe in continuing education, open communication, and constantly finding ways to provide even better care for our patients and clients.

• $130,000-$160,000 guaranteed base salary
• Production‑based bonuses
• Generous signing bonus
• $20,000+ relocation assistance for eligible Managing Veterinarians
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) with employer match
• CE allowance plus professional dues and licensing covered
• Vacation and paid holidays
• Leadership development and career growth opportunities
