Job description

Vet-Owned. People-First.

Be part of building something from the ground up.

AcutePet Urgent Care opened on Cincinnati’s West Side in White Oak, OH in Summer 2026 - and we’re intentionally assembling a small, founding team of veterinarians who want more than just a job.

This isn’t stepping into an established hospital with fixed systems and legacy culture.It’s helping define one.

If you’ve ever wanted:

• A voice in how a hospital operates
• Input on workflows and team culture
• The chance to shape urgent care medicine in a growing community
• High-quality medicine without overnight ER burnout

This is that opportunity.

Why White Oak?

Cincinnati’s West Side is home to a dense, family-centered community with strong primary care relationships and increasing demand for accessible urgent care. Our White Oak hospital will deliver emergency-level medicine in an urgent care setting - designed for sustainability, collaboration, and clinical confidence.

You’ll see cases like:

• Lacerations and minor trauma
• GI obstruction workups
• Toxin ingestions
• Acute vomiting/diarrhea
• Urgent diagnostics and stabilization

All without overnights or major holidays.

Who This Role Is Built For

This opportunity works beautifully for:

• Emergency veterinarians ready to step away from overnight intensity while still practicing high-level medicine
• Experienced GPs who want to expand diagnostic confidence in a supportive environment
• Newer doctors eager for hands-on mentorship and structured growth in urgent care

We’re hiring founding DVMs who want to help establish the clinical tone and culture of this hospital from day one.

We’re a vet-owned organization built by people who understand the real demands of this profession. Our leadership team includes experienced DVMs, Managing Veterinarians, and a board-certified criticalist serving as Chief Medical Officer.

Behind the scenes, our operational team bring real-world veterinary hospital experience - ensuring teams are supported, not squeezed.

You’ll practice medicine in an environment that values:

• Collaboration over hierarchy
• Mentorship without micromanagement
• Transparent communication
• Sustainable scheduling
• Real investment in your well-being

We believe great medicine and balanced lives are not mutually exclusive.

What We’re Looking For

• Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (or equivalent)
• All experience levels welcome
• Interest in urgent care or emergency-style diagnostics
• Strong clinical reasoning and thoughtful patient care
• Clear, compassionate client communication

What We Offer

• Competitive base salary with 25% production pay (whichever is greater), no negative accrual
