Job description

Veterinary Surgeon – Virginia Veterinary Centers | Fredericksburg, VA

At Virginia Veterinary Centers (VVC) – Fredericksburg, we’re looking for a board‑certified or residency‑trained Veterinary Surgeon to step into a well‑established service within a collaborative, multi‑disciplinary specialty and emergency hospital.

Why Fredericksburg?

• 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.
