Join our team of 10 doctors (including 5 Board-Certified (AVDC/EVDC) Diplomates), residents, and technicians at the forefront of one of today's most in-demand and fast growing specialty services. Over 80% of all dogs and cats have some form of oral disease. Together let's make a difference in nurturing a longer and healthier quality of life for our four-legged loved ones. Our practice has a strong focus on client education, so if you have a passion for sharing knowledge and working as part of a very dedicated team, this is the position for you Our clinics are well established in the community and serve clients over a large part of the Mid-Atlantic region. Each of our locations is equipped with state of the art monitoring and diagnostic equipment to provide our patients the most advanced specialty care possible.
