Job Description
This beautifully designed clinic, opened in 2024, offers a modern, thoughtfully built environment with three exam rooms, a fully equipped surgical suite, a dental suite, and a welcoming, intelligently designed lobby.
The hospital is supported by an in-house technology platform that significantly reduces administrative burden, alongside a 24/7 virtual care team that adds an extra layer of support for both clients and clinicians.
Currently operating with 2 DVMs and 12 support staff, the clinic has the capacity to grow to a 6-DVM team, making this an exciting opportunity for a confident, experienced Lead Veterinarian who wants to lay strong foundations, mentor incoming doctors, and drive both medical quality and clinic growth. You’ll work closely with an experienced Clinic Manager, while reporting into an established Regional Medical Director structure for clinical support and leadership development.
Doctors work 30-minute appointment blocks, seeing approximately 16 pre-booked patients per day, with one dedicated surgical day per week. The schedule is a consistent 4-day week of 10-hour shifts, with no weekend requirement. Importantly, 10% of your time is protected for leadership responsibilities, mentorship, and administrative duties, ensuring you can truly lead rather than simply add management tasks onto a full clinical load.
This organization is deeply committed to building a sustainable and blame-free veterinary culture. Structured scheduling means you work a single flow per shift (exam, urgent, or procedure), allowing for better focus and reduced burnout. The support model empowers veterinary nurses and assistants to practice at the top of their skill set, and the wider leadership team focuses on mentorship, CE, and long-term career development.
With a base salary of $170,000–$200,000 plus a 10% Lead Doctor bonus, monthly production, quarterly production “lifts,” eligibility for a Lead Doctor Bonus tied to clinic performance, and equity opportunities, this role offers genuine clinical and financial progression.
