508 Village Road, Leland, NC 28451
Small Animal Associate Veterinarian
Where compassion meets connection in North Coastal Carolina
For over 30 years, Leland Veterinary Hospital has been the trusted family practice for generations of pet owners in one of North Carolina’s fastest-growing communities. Established in 1991, our privately owned, full-service small animal hospital is known for exceptional medicine delivered with heart — and we’re ready to welcome a new doctor to our close-knit team.
At Leland Veterinary Hospital, we believe in practicing great medicine, supporting one another, and treating people like family. Our long-tenured staff (some here for over 20 years!) create a supportive, drama-free workplace grounded in kindness and communication. Every team member’s voice matters and every doctor is surrounded by a community that genuinely wants to help them succeed.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
- You’re never alone: Mentorship is a core part of our identity. Whether you’re a new grad or an experienced clinician, you will never be abandoned on an island. Another doctor is always present or immediately available to talk through cases, provide hands-on support, and make sure you feel confident and backed up every day.
- A strong medical foundation: Digital and dental radiography, cold laser therapy, ultrasound, and access to board-certified specialists — including an ultrasonographer who visits the clinic and a radiologist who consults with us virtually in real time.
- A positive learning environment: We encourage curiosity, questions, and continuous growth. With individual training opportunities, a generous CE stipend, and coaching through Blue Heron Consulting, you’ll have the support and tools to keep advancing your skills and exploring your professional interests.
- Personalized, low-stress care: We emphasize calm, compassionate medicine and have a private, beautifully designed comfort room for end-of-life appointments, giving families the space and time they need.
- A family-first, supportive culture: No corporate red tape, no weekend hours, and a four-day work week that leaves plenty of time for life outside the clinic. Our team treats patients — and each other — like family, creating the kind of workplace people stay at for decades.
- Loyal clients & a pace that supports good medicine: Our 30- to 60-minute appointments allow for communication, education, and thorough care — not assembly-line medicine.
