Veterinary Medical Director - Established Practice, Excellent Location - Edmonds-Westgate Veterinary Hospital

Edmonds-Westgate Veterinary Hospital is seeking a Veterinary Medical Director to lead our established small animal practice in Edmonds, Washington.

This is an opportunity for a veterinarian who enjoys practicing high-quality medicine, mentoring colleagues, and helping shape the future of a hospital without losing the clinical work that drew them to veterinary medicine in the first place.

You'll join a collaborative 3-doctor team with a strong reputation in the community, a loyal client base, and the support needed to focus on both patient care and medical leadership. Whether you're already serving as a Medical Director, Lead Veterinarian, or Chief of Staff—or you're an experienced veterinarian ready to take the next step in your career—we'd love to talk with you.

Why This Medical Director Opportunity Stands Out

At Edmonds-Westgate Veterinary Hospital, leadership is about influence, mentorship, and setting the standard for excellent medicine.

You'll continue practicing medicine while helping guide clinical protocols, supporting fellow veterinarians, encouraging professional growth, and fostering the positive culture that has made our hospital a trusted resource for pet owners throughout the Edmonds community.

This is a leadership opportunity for someone who wants a meaningful voice in the direction of the practice while remaining actively engaged with patients, clients, and the medical team.
