Practice
Ham Lake Veterinary Hospital practices Preventive Medicine, General Medicine, and General Surgery. We have digital radiography, a full in-house lab, and reference laboratory availability for sending out more involved testing. We love serving the Ham Lake/East Bethel area and find our country setting quiet and relaxing.
Our hospital began in 2005 and since then has grown to employ an over 20 person team of veterinarians, technicians, and receptionists.
Position Purpose
We are looking to add a veterinarian who values teamwork, collaboration, and communication and does not take life too seriously!
We welcome DVMs of all skill levels and provide a robust mentorship program, tailored to the needs of new graduates, to ensure they feel supported and guided in their professional journey.
We have a highly cohesive, friendly, self-driven team. We like to do a group outing/get-together every couple of months. We strive to protect our lunch breaks, often eating as a team (order food, get treats) and having time set aside during the day to sit, eat, and relax.
Our clientele is very devoted to their pet’s health. We have several clients with multiple pets willing to go above and beyond with their care. They are open to whatever services we recommend, and many go to referrals/specialists as needed.
Full and part-time positions available.
About the area: Ham Lake is less than a half-hour drive north of Minneapolis.
