We are looking to add an energetic, caring doctor to add to our 5 doctor small animal practice! Our patients are mostly dogs and cats, but we do a small number of exotics also. Our practices are well-equipped, well staffed, and well managed, and we have been a part of the community for 30 years. We have many wonderful clients and patients with whom it is a pleasure to work. We value high quality medicine, teamwork, community, good communication, and collaboration.Do you love client education and a structure that encourages good preventative care? We do too! Preventative care and educating our clients are a central focus for us. We have Health Plans and Dental Plans to help our clients give their pets the care they need. Special emphasis months assist us in educating, encouraging, and incentivizing them. We are looking for a doctor who desires to build great relationships with our clients and patients.
Do you want to learn more surgeries or become more comfortable in the OR? We perform many surgical procedures beyond spays and neuters (fracture repairs, ocular procedures, FHOs, suture CCL repairs in small patients, Perineal Hernia Repairs, and more); and if you love surgery and learning new things, we would love to teach you. We have experienced veterinarians who love to mentor, and we pride ourselves on growing veterinary practitioners that provide excellent care in a supportive and encouraging environment.
We have electronic records that are cloud based. So, you can access them from anywhere and even check your schedule from your phone. We always strive to be ahead of the curve by using technology to our advantage to serve our clients and make our jobs a little easier.
Work/Life Balance is important to us, and we are looking for someone who shares our philosophy of good medicine, good client communication, and good self care. We know that in our profession, veterinarians need support, balance, and permission to take care of themselves. Our profession is a wonderful career. We work hard to keep you fresh and having fun at work and on your days off!
