This is a rare opportunity to lead and expand surgical services in a collaborative, state‑of‑the‑art environment with immediate caseload and long‑term vision.

You’ll join a hospital purpose‑built for modern veterinary medicine, supported by an established referral base, advanced diagnostics, and a strong team culture focused on exceptional patient care.

Why This Role Stands Out

Brand‑New, State‑of‑the‑Art Facility

Work in a newly built, 15,000‑square‑foot hospital designed for efficiency, workflow, and gold‑standard medicine. All equipment and technology are brand new and thoughtfully selected to support advanced surgical care.

Immediate, Built‑In Caseload

You’ll be supported by 15 experienced DVMs across general practice and emergency services, providing a consistent and diverse surgical caseload from day one.

Advanced Diagnostics and Surgical Support

• On‑site CT for advanced diagnostics and surgical planning
• Two digital radiography units for efficiency and throughput
• High‑end ultrasound for complex case workups
• Large, modern surgical and dental suites
• Continued investment in cutting‑edge technology and equipment

Enjoy the challenge and fulfillment of advanced surgery and emergency case collaboration without overnight responsibilities, supporting a sustainable and balanced lifestyle.

Integrated GP and Emergency Model

Our combined general practice and emergency care model offers:

• A steady flow of urgent and advanced surgical cases
• A highly collaborative clinical environment

The Role

• Perform advanced soft tissue and orthopedic procedures
• Collaborate closely with referring DVMs to ensure seamless case management
• Lead the growth and refinement of surgical services
• Mentor and elevate the surgical knowledge of the clinical team

What We Offer

• Highly competitive compensation with base salary plus production
• Sign‑on bonus and relocation assistance
• Comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, 401(k), and CE allowance
• The opportunity to build and lead a surgical service within a rapidly growing hospital

Live Where Others Vacation

Located in Gardnerville, just minutes from Lake Tahoe, this role offers an exceptional quality of life, including:

• World‑class skiing, hiking, and outdoor recreation
• Stunning mountain and lake views
• Easy access to both nature and nearby city amenities

Who You Are

• Diplomate of the ACVS or residency‑trained surgeon

• Excited to build and grow a surgical service in a modern hospital
• Thrive in a positive, team‑oriented culture
