Job description

Premier Veterinary Group is seeking a board-certified or residency-trained Veterinary Neurologist to join our 24/7 Emergency and Specialty Referral Hospital in Chicago, Illinois. Premier is home to a well-established specialty program, and we're looking for a compassionate, collaborative neurologist to build out our neurology service alongside a strong existing team.

About Our Hospital

Located on Chicago's northwest side, our 10,000 sq. ft. hospital offers an open-concept design with two surgical suites equipped for minimally invasive procedures. Advanced diagnostic and treatment tools include:

• Full scoping capabilities
• High-flow oxygen and mechanical ventilation
• Digital radiology, ultrasound, CT, and 1.5 Tesla MRI

Our specialty services include Surgery, Neurology, Internal Medicine, Critical Care, Radiology, Cardiology, and Emergency Medicine, supported by an outstanding group of technicians, client care representatives, and an engaged management team. You can also participate in clinical trials and research through Ethos Discovery and Science.

Our Culture

At Premier, our people are the heart of who we are. We've built a collaborative, supportive culture where our doctors share a strong sense of camaraderie — we rely on one another, celebrate each other's wins, and work side by side to deliver exceptional care. That closeness shows up in our low doctor turnover and a workplace that genuinely feels like family.

We also value work‑life balance and know that fulfillment outside of work fuels success inside it. Many of our team members are parents, travelers, and city explorers, and we offer flexible scheduling to make room for family time, travel, and everything Chicago has to offer.

Life in Chicago

Our hospital is just 25 minutes from downtown and 20 minutes from Wrigley Field, with two international airports nearby for easy travel. Chicago is a world‑class city known for its architecture, museums, lakefront, parks, and food scene.

What We Offer

The compensation range for this role typically falls between $180,000-$225,000 depending on experience, credentials, and schedule. Sign on bonuses and/or relocation assistance available for qualified candidates.

Benefits for this role may include

• Health insurance (medical, dental, vision)
• Retirement benefits
• Paid time off (including sick leave and vacation)
• Short-term and long-term disability
• Life insurance
