Job description

Remember Why You Became a Veterinarian?

Grand Lake Veterinary Hospital | Oakland, California

You didn't go to vet school to hit productivity metrics or squeeze clients into 15-minute appointments. You wanted to practice real medicine, build genuine relationships, and actually make decisions about patient care.

That practice still exists. And we're hiring. And we are privately owned.

What matters to us

Your Clinical Judgment No one's second-guessing your treatment plans or pushing unnecessary upsells. You're the doctor. We trust you to practice medicine the way it should be practiced—with 30-minute appointments that let you actually talk to your clients and think through each case.

Your Schedule Four-day work weeks. Not "four 12-hour days." Actual balance. Time to remember what you do outside the clinic. The kind of schedule that lets you show up refreshed instead of running on fumes.

Your Growth Work alongside veterinarians who still get excited about medicine. Real mentorship. Real CE support. The kind of colleagues who stop what they're doing when you need a second opinion—because that's what good medicine looks like.

What You'll Find Here

Medicine Done Right 30-minute appointment blocks (yes, really). New ultrasound, digital radiography, separate surgery and dental suites. On-site radiologist consultations when you need them. Recognition from local ERs and specialists as "the best general practice in the area".

A Team That Has Your Back Supportive, experienced colleagues who actually collaborate. Well-trained support staff who care as much as you do. Leadership that won't let clients disrespect you. A culture where everyone's voice matters.

The Autonomy You're Missing Practice the medicine you know is right. No corporate mandates or cookie-cutter protocols. Partial ownership opportunity available (if you want it—no pressure). Privately owned, so decisions are made by veterinarians, for veterinarians.

Compensation and benefits

Compensation: $150,000 - $225,000

Benefits That Actually Benefit You:

• Kaiser Platinum or Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO
• All licenses, DEA, and liability coverage covered
• Professional memberships supported
• 30% total discount on your own pet care
• Continuing education encouraged and funded

Who Thrives Here

You're an experienced veterinarian who misses practicing real medicine. You value quality over quantity. You want colleagues who challenge you to stay sharp, not a corporation that treats you like a widget. You're done with the hamster wheel and ready to remember why you loved this profession in the first place.

You're reliable, collaborative, and curious. You care about client education because informed clients make better decisions. And you understand that sustainable medicine means sustainable schedules.

Why Oakland's Grand Lake

Located in one of Oakland's most vibrant neighborhoods, right next to the weekly farmers market. This is neighborhood practice at its best—you'll actually know your clients' names, their pets' quirks, and feel like part of the community you serve.

What Our Team Says

"Management supports the staff, and we're not allowed to be disrespected by clients. The leadership is focused on providing quality care, and it feels like a neighborhood practice." — Dr. Jones

"This is the only hospital I've ever worked at, and I feel like I really make a difference. Everyone is passionate about veterinary medicine." — Alex, CSR
