Job description

Looking for a hospital where people actually stay?

At Heartland Animal Hospital, we've spent more than 30 years building a hospital where doctors are supported, technicians are empowered, clients trust their veterinarians, and team members have the opportunity to build long-term careers.

This opportunity has become available as one of our doctors relocates out of state. With several team members having been with Heartland for 10+ years, we don't have openings like this often.

If you're looking for a collaborative team, meaningful mentorship, a healthy work-life balance, and an established client base, we'd love to meet you.

Why Heartland?

The biggest reason our team stays isn't the equipment or the schedule - it's the people.

Heartland is led by Dr. Bill, our Managing Veterinarian and founder, who has spent more than 30 years creating a hospital where collaboration and mentorship are part of everyday practice. The doctors regularly connect to share what's working, discuss opportunities to improve, and make sure everyone feels supported. The team enjoys regular social events throughout the year, and learning is encouraged at every level. That supportive culture has resulted in a team with many long-standing members who have built their careers at Heartland.

If you're tired of practicing in a hospital that feels rushed or understaffed, you'll notice the difference at Heartland from your very first day.

Exceptional Support

You’ll work alongside an experienced, collaborative team that allows you to focus on practicing great medicine.

• Join a collaborative team of 2 full-time and 2 part-time veterinarians, with this role completing a 5-doctor medical team
• Approximately 2.5 technicians and assistants per doctor scheduled each day
• Support team includes 4 Registered Veterinary Technicians and 5 experienced veterinary assistants
• Ashley, our Practice Manager, has been with Heartland for more than 10 years
• Long-tenured team members, including several who have been with the hospital for 15+ years

Practice High-Quality Medicine

• Digital radiography
• Digital dental radiography
• In-house laboratory
• CO₂ surgical laser
• Therapeutic cold laser
• Echocardiography technology
• Ultrasound with specialist interpretation
• Traveling board-certified surgeon providing advanced orthopedic procedures, including TPLOs and other specialty surgeries
• Dedicated surgery days available for doctors who enjoy surgery, with the opportunity to head home once procedures are complete

Work-Life Balance

We believe great medicine starts with well-supported doctors.

• Four-day work week (approximately 32 hours)
• No Saturday requirements for full-time veterinarians
• Flexible, collaborative scheduling
• Supportive team that values balance just as much as excellent medicine

A Client Base You’ll Love

Located in the growing community of Bel Aire, just outside Wichita, Heartland has earned the trust of generations of pet owners.

Our loyal, highly compliant client base values quality medicine and long‑term relationships, giving our doctors an established caseload and the opportunity to build lasting connections with clients and their pets.

Giving Back to Our Community

Heartland proudly supports several local charitable organizations and provides veterinary care for the local Police Department K-9 Unit because caring for our community extends beyond our exam rooms.

As Part of National Veterinary Associates (NVA), You’ll Also Enjoy:

• Access to NVA’s PetOne Veterinary Training Center for hands‑on surgical and clinical training
• Industry‑leading Mentorship Program with dedicated one‑on‑one support
• Support and resources to pursue ABVP certification while practicing, helping veterinarians advance their clinical expertise and professional goals
