Prospect Ridge in West Orange, NJ, is seeking an experienced and dedicated Veterinarian to join our exceptional team as a full-time DVM. We’re a general practice with a strong legacy, looking for a passionate veterinarian committed to a long-term career—potentially someone interested in leadership and even ownership.

Our team of 2 full-time and 1 part-time DVMs, supported by 2 rotating LVTs, and 2 full-time assistants, (a 4:1 DVM-to-tech ratio), thrives in a professional yet warm environment. We operate a modern facility with 4 exam rooms (including one for puppies/kittens and a quiet consultation room), equipped with digital radiology, digital dental equipment, a surgery suite, ultrasound, therapeutic laser, IM3 dental system, ultrasonic scaler, electric cautery, suction, and an EKG monitor system. We’re cloud-based with computers in every room to ensure quality care. We see urgent cases during the day - referring to ERs when needed, and welcome exotics. Visiting specialists provide services like echocardiograms, ultrasound, radiograph readings, and orthopedic surgery.

About the Area: West Orange, NJ, located in Essex County, offers a vibrant suburban lifestyle just 15 miles west of Manhattan.

With top-rated schools, a diverse community, and easy access to New York City’s cultural and entertainment offerings via a short commute, West Orange provides an ideal balance of suburban charm and urban convenience for professionals seeking a fulfilling lifestyle.

Schedule:

• Monday through Saturday, with a focus on work-life balance: with an hour for lunch and an additional hour each day to write up charts. Saturdays are alternated and every other week provides a 4-day weekend with 4 consecutive days off.

Requirements:

• Active New Jersey DVM license in good standing.
• Preference for an experienced veterinarian committed to a long-term career, ideally interested in leadership and potentially buying the practice.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills to build trust with clients.

Benefits:

• Health benefits coverage, $2,000 CE allowance, PTO, DEA and NJ state licensing, workers’ comp, malpractice insurance, and VIN membership.
• A collaborative culture with strong working relationships—our team, led by an Office Manager with over 20 years at the clinic, is professional, punctual, and kind, with certified techs eager to train and support. We value laughter, maturity, and teamwork, with no tolerance for negativity or lack of effort.
• Opportunities for leadership and potential practice ownership for the right candidate.
