• Path to future ownership
• Established specialty and emergency caseload
• Advanced diagnostic and surgical capabilities
• Experienced technical and clinical support
• Collaborative specialty environment
• Medical autonomy
• Continuing education and professional development support
• Comprehensive benefits
• Relocation assistance may be available
• Opportunity to help shape and grow the surgical service

We’d Love to Meet a Surgeon Who

• Has significant experience performing advanced small animal surgery
• Is board-certified or residency-trained preferred
• OR brings substantial surgical experience and demonstrated clinical capability
• Values collaboration with emergency doctors, specialists, technicians, and referring veterinarians
• Communicates well with clients and colleagues
• Wants a long-term opportunity with professional and financial growth potential
• Holds or is eligible to obtain appropriate veterinary licensure

Why This Opportunity?

This is more than simply stepping into another surgery position. The hospital is looking for someone who wants to become an important part of a growing specialty team, practice high-level medicine, and have meaningful influence over the continued development of the surgical service.

For the right veterinarian, there is also a path toward future ownership, providing an opportunity to participate more deeply in the long-term success of the practice.
