We honor that legacy by staying true to our values while embracing the latest advancements in medicine, technology, and workplace culture. We're looking for a passionate Associate Veterinarian to join our collaborative, close‑knit team.

Why You'll Love Working Here

We know that great veterinary care starts with a great team. That's why we've built a culture where work‑life balance isn't just a buzzword — full‑time means four days a week.

Our loyal client base is the result of decades of trust — and they show it. You'll walk into an environment where respect from clients is the norm, not the exception.

Our Practice

We're a modern, paper‑light, 3‑doctor practice equipped with everything you need to practice high‑quality medicine, including a brand new GE Ultrasound, new dental machines and scalers, updated surgical lighting, digital x‑ray, a large surgery suite, and access to a visiting Board Certified Internist.

Compensation & Benefits

We take care of our people. Our comprehensive package includes:

• Competitive salary up to $150,000
• Outstanding 2:1 tech‑to‑doctor support ratio
• Full health/dental/vision coverage, 401(k) with match
• Generous CE days and allowance
• Sign‑on + relocation bonus offerings
