Job description

Veterinarian - Worthington Woods Animal Care Center

Columbus, OH

Experienced Veterinarian with Future Medical Director Track

Worthington Woods Animal Care Center is seeking an experienced veterinarian who is passionate about high-quality medicine and interested in taking the next step in their career. This is a unique opportunity to join a thriving practice while receiving hands‑on mentorship and leadership development from our current Medical Director.

We’re looking for a DVM who enjoys collaborating with a strong team, building lasting client relationships, and contributing to the continued growth of the hospital. As part of this role, you’ll work side‑by‑side with an established Medical Director, gaining exposure to practice leadership, team development, business operations, and medical quality initiatives. For the right candidate, this position offers a clear pathway to future Medical Director responsibilities.

At Worthington Woods Animal Care Center, you’ll find a supportive culture, a collaborative medical team, and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the future of the practice while continuing to grow clinically and professionally.

What You’ll Gain

• Direct mentorship and leadership coaching from the current Medical Director
• A defined growth path toward a future Medical Director role
• The opportunity to influence the strategic direction of a growing hospital
• Supportive hospital and operational leadership invested in your success
• Strong medical standards and a collaborative team environment

Why Worthington Woods Animal Care?

• After 30 plus years building the practice, our founder, Dr. James Miller is preparing for a slower pace! He doesn’t plan to “ride off into the sunset” upon your hire, but instead, he would love to work in tandem with an incoming DVM/Medical Director to ensure a smooth transition and support as you settle into the role.
• Our business is THRIVING. We have a consistent review average of over 4.8 stars on Google. You are stepping into a role to maintain excellence, not to put out fires.
• Our support team is tenured and skilled. Collectively, our RVT’s have an average of ten years employed at Worthington Woods. They are highly skilled and competent, allowing our DVM’s to fully focus on their role instead of setting catheters, drawing labs, etc.
• Our DVM team is awesome (no, we aren’t biased). They regularly collaborate, problem solve and support each other’s growth.
• In our practice, we believe that investing in our team and workplace yields better medicine. We are actively growing and investing in our practice! We are finishing an expansion/remodel creating an additional treatment area and more exam rooms. In this role, you will have the space and support to grow.

Who are we looking for?

• DVM / VMD degree from an accredited veterinary school
• 5+ years of experience in small animal medicine (preferred)
• Proficiency in general medicine, surgery, and dentistry
• Strong leadership, communication, and mentorship skills
• Ohio veterinary license (or ability to obtain)
• A good human who plays nice with pets and people
• Has strong communication skills and a desire to foster lasting relationships with clients, their pets, and other WWACC team members
• Takes pride in their work and strives to provide a memorable client experience with each appointment
• Has a willingness to guide, mentor, and be a member of the team

  • Base Salary Range $150,000 to $170,000 plus Medical Director Stipend
  • Production with no negative accrual
