Job description

• Digital radiography, including dental x-ray

Located in Manheim, Pennsylvania, White Oaks Veterinary Hospital has been providing compassionate, high quality veterinary care for dogs and cats since 1952. Our goal is to celebrate the human-animal bond by treating you and your pet with kindness, respect, and honesty.

White Oaks Veterinary Hospital, a well-established, family-oriented general practice in Manheim, PA, is looking for a Full or Part-Time Associate Veterinarian to join our experienced and supportive team.

We are a Monday–Friday practice with no weekend, after-hours, or emergency responsibilities, and offer 30–35 hours per week with flexibility in how those hours are scheduled. Our goal is to provide our doctors with a schedule that allows them to practice good medicine, build relationships with their clients, and still have a life outside of work.

Why White Oaks?

A practice built on relationships

White Oaks has been part of the Manheim community for decades and has earned a strong reputation through consistency, personal relationships, and word-of-mouth referrals. Many of our clients pass other veterinary practices to continue coming to White Oaks because they know and trust our doctors and team. Historically, we have grown almost entirely through client referrals rather than traditional advertising.

A thoughtful pace and appointment-based practice

We believe veterinarians do their best work when they have the time and support to think through cases, communicate with clients, and provide quality care. Our appointment-based model is designed to provide a manageable pace rather than the high-volume feel of many modern veterinary hospitals.

An Experienced, Supportive Team

Our team includes two experienced veterinarians with university internship training, Certified Veterinary Technicians, skilled veterinary assistants, and a practice manager who has been with White Oaks for 29 years. Our support staff brings a wide range of experience and skills, and we encourage team members to work to the top of their abilities. This allows our doctors to focus on medicine, diagnostics, treatment plans, and client communication rather than trying to do everything themselves.

Collaboration without competition

Our doctors work closely together and have the opportunity to discuss cases, share ideas, and learn from one another. Whether you are an experienced veterinarian looking for a collaborative environment or a newer graduate looking for mentorship and support, you will have experienced doctors around you who are invested in providing excellent patient care.

High-quality medicine with the resources to support it

White Oaks is housed in a modern, purpose-built facility built in 2011. Our hospital includes four exam rooms, a comfort room, separate cat and dog kennels, digital radiography including dental x-rays, and a Mindray Vetus 7 ultrasound. Our caseload includes wellness and preventative care, dentistry, soft-tissue surgery, dermatology, internal medicine, and medical workups. We pursue appropriate diagnostics in-house while maintaining relationships with local specialists when referral is the best option. Our surgical caseload excludes orthopedic and thoracic procedures.

Medicine that is both high-quality and approachable

We believe excellent veterinary medicine should also be accessible to the families we serve. Our doctors take the time to educate clients, discuss options, and develop treatment plans that consider both the patient's needs and the family's circumstances. Building long-term relationships with clients and their pets is a meaningful part of what we do.

What Your Schedule Could Look Like

This is a 30–35 hour per week, Monday–Friday position, with flexibility in how those hours are structured. There are no weekend or after-hours emergency responsibilities.

We value work-life balance and understand that the best schedule isn't necessarily the same for every veterinarian. We are willing to have a conversation about what schedule works best for you while meeting the needs of the practice and our patients.

Our Hospital

• Four comfortable exam rooms
• Separate cat and dog housing
• Comfort room
• Digital radiography, including dental x-ray
• Mindray Vetus 7 ultrasound
• In-house laboratory and diagnostic capabilities
• Electronic medical records with computers in exam rooms
• General practice caseload with opportunities for internal medicine workups and soft-tissue surgery
• Experienced support staff
• Monday–Friday schedule with no weekends or after-hours emergency duty

Who We're Looking For

We are looking for a veterinarian who:

• Enjoys building lasting relationships with clients and their pets
• Values teamwork and collaboration
• Is comfortable practicing independently while knowing support is available when needed
• Takes pride in providing thoughtful, personalized medicine
• Enjoys educating clients and helping them understand their pet's care
• Is interested in continuing to grow professionally
• Wants to be part of a stable, experienced team rather than simply move through appointments

New graduates and experienced veterinarians are welcome to apply. Our experienced doctors and support team provide a collaborative environment where you can continue developing your skills while practicing high-quality medicine.
