Our recently expanded facility provides the tools and resources needed to practice advanced medicine and surgery, including two dedicated surgical suites designed to support efficiency, case variety, and excellent patient outcomes.

As Managing Veterinarian, you'll play a key role in both the clinical and cultural success of the hospital by:

• Leading and mentoring a talented veterinary team
• Supporting medical excellence and high standards of patient care
• Enhancing the client experience and strengthening client relationships
• Collaborating with hospital leadership and a network of veterinary professionals
• Helping develop doctors and support staff through coaching and mentorship
• Practicing medicine and surgery while pursuing your clinical interests

What We Offer

We believe great veterinary leaders deserve exceptional support, both professionally and personally. Our comprehensive compensation package includes:

• Competitive base salary based on experience
• Medical Director stipend
• Leadership bonusing incentives
• Lucrative bonus opportunities and relocation assistance
• Quarterly production bonuses with no negative accrual
• Flexible scheduling options
• Generous PTO with rollover

Additional benefits include:

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance with HSA options

Work-Life Balance

One of the many benefits of joining Grant Creek Veterinary Services is the ability to enjoy a rewarding leadership role without sacrificing your personal life. Our doctors enjoy no on‑call responsibilities, no emergency shifts, and no weekend hours, allowing you to focus on your patients, your team, and the things you enjoy outside of work.
