treatments/dental procedures. We have a dedicated surgery, isolation, three exam rooms, pharmacy, lab,
small kitchen area, & beautiful outdoor enclosed patio for staff & clients. We get lots of compliments on
our beautiful hospital. It's very peaceful & serene, not very "clinical." Our staff is AMAZING. They do it all.
They are lovely people, great with our patients & their people & each other. We have a 3+ staff-to-doctor
ratio so you can stay busy being a doctor, & our hospital manager keeps our working environment in tip-top shape. Our clients are wonderful.

medical care for our patients. Our practice philosophy & style is to offer each of our patients no less

exotic pets? We see rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, rats & mice, turtles & lizards! We have two excellent
specialty hospitals in Ventura & many others close by that we have excellent relationships with for
consultation, referral of tough cases, or those requiring intensive care.

Our new associate will work 4-10s Tuesday-Saturday. You will be working those days with another
experienced veterinarian for collaboration & collegiality. Monthly staff meetings are required on Tuesday
mornings. Newer graduates are welcomed with a minimum requirement of 1+ years of experience. A great
benefit you receive through our practice is access to Slack group discussions to review cases, make
