Description
Lead with impact, not paperwork.
At Coronado Veterinary Hospital, we believe our doctors should spend their time practicing medicine, mentoring, and making a difference, not buried in charts or tech work. With ScribbleVet AI-powered dictation and a high technician-to-DVM ratio, you’ll focus on being a doctor while our skilled team and smart tools support you.
We’re seeking a Medical Director to guide our thriving General Practice + Urgent Care hospital, serving small animals (seeing exotics is a plus!). This is an opportunity to shape the medical vision of a dynamic practice, grow as a leader, and still enjoy a fulfilling life outside of work.
Why Coronado?
Exciting, diverse cases – No two days are alike, from routine care to urgent and complex cases.
Supportive, skilled team – Credentialed technicians and high staff-to-doctor ratio mean you practice medicine, not tech duties.
Smart tools for efficiency – ScribbleVet AI dictation saves hours of charting.
Commitment to growth – We’re always investing in our people, our hospital, and our future.

About Sierra Vista:
If you love the outdoors, Sierra Vista is a hidden gem. Nestled at 4,500–5,000 feet elevation, our “sky island” climate runs about 20 degrees cooler than Phoenix. You’ll have easy access to:
Hiking, biking, horseback riding, birding, and off-roading
Kartchner Caverns State Park & Parker Canyon Lake
Nearby historic towns like Tombstone and Bisbee
Fort Huachuca’s recreational areas and military museum
It’s no wonder Sierra Vista is internationally known as the “Hummingbird Capital of the United States.”
