Job description

What if the case you’d normally refer out was the one you got to see through yourself?

At Countryside Veterinary Center, one morning might start with a wellness exam and end with a TPLO, a walk-in urgent care, and a rehab patient back on the underwater treadmill. Just 20 minutes from downtown Chicago, we’re a general practice with the caseload, tools, and team to work up cases most GPs send elsewhere, then hand off to a certified rehab doctor down the hall to see them all the way through recovery.

The Opportunity:

• A deep, varied caseload spanning general practice, urgent care, and daytime emergencies
• Full medical autonomy, with the freedom to work up complex cases in-house rather than refer them out
• Flexible scheduling, with most doctors working 34 hours per week
• At least 3-5 years of experience as a DVM in a small animal GP or urgent care setting is required for this role

The Resources:

• A team of 8 collaborative DVMs and two dedicated hospital managers, so doctors can stay focused on medicine
• Two surgical suites supporting orthopedic procedures, including TPLOs, fracture repairs, and FHOs
• Full in-house diagnostics: digital and dental x-rays, ultrasound, echo, EKG, and IDEXX lab
• A dedicated rehabilitation service with therapy laser, hydrotherapy treadmill, acupuncture, and chiropractic care, led by a certified rehab DVM and tech

The Lifestyle:

• Stroll walkable downtown La Grange packed with 30+ independent restaurants, boutiques, a historic theatre, and a seasonal farmers market
• Explore 16+ miles of the Salt Creek Trail winding past Brookfield Zoo, plus nearby preserves for hiking, biking, and paddling
• Hop an express Metra train and reach downtown Chicago in about 25 minutes

ProSal Compensation & Benefits:

• Starting salary of $125,000–$150,000 plus production bonuses
• 401(k) with company match
• Access to CE courses (dentistry, ultrasound, surgery, and more) at NVA’s nearby PetOne Training Center in Addison, IL
• Professional liability coverage, DEA and state licensing, and VIN membership
• PTO, paid CE, and CE/licensing reimbursement
• Generous staff pet discounts
• Final compensation commensurate with experience, skills, schedule, and scope of services provided
