Description & Requirements

Veterinary Surgeon – Virginia Veterinary Centers | Fredericksburg, VA

This is a rare opportunity to take over an existing caseload in a hospital that provides comprehensive specialty and emergency care, including critical care, diagnostic imaging, and emergency services, all under one roof!

• Fredericksburg offers something that’s getting harder to find; space, history, and accessibility without sacrificing lifestyle.
• Located halfway between Washington, D.C. and Richmond
• A charming historic downtown with restaurants, shops, and waterfront views
• Easy access to outdoor recreation along the Rappahannock River
• More affordable living and less congestion than major metro areas
• A true “best of both worlds” lifestyle—city access, small-town feel

About the Hospital

VVC Fredericksburg is a well-supported specialty and emergency center with a strong reputation in the region. The team is known for delivering compassionate, high-quality care and working collaboratively across services.

You’ll be stepping into:

• An established surgery service with referral demand
• A hospital equipped to support advanced procedures and case management

A collaborative environment with experienced ER and critical care support

What Makes This Role Stand Out

This is an opportunity to step into a ready-made service while still having the autonomy to shape and grow it in your own way.

You’ll have the support of a strong hospital infrastructure, paired with the flexibility to:

• Build on an existing caseload
• Develop your clinical interests
• Influence the direction of the surgery service

And because every candidate’s priorities are different, we’re open to getting creative with the offer.

If you’re looking for a role where you can walk into immediate impact, grow a service, and enjoy a more balanced lifestyle, we’d love to talk.
