Associate Veterinarian

Introduction
Our client is a privately and family-owned veterinary hospital seeking a Full-Time or Part-Time Associate Veterinarian to join its team. The practice primarily cares for cats and dogs, with the occasional avian patient, and provides general medicine, preventative healthcare, diagnostics, dentistry, surgery, and walk-in and urgent care.

Role Description and Responsibilities
The Associate Veterinarian will be responsible for delivering high-quality medical, surgical, and preventative care while building strong relationships with clients through clear communication and education. Responsibilities include performing comprehensive physical examinations, diagnosing and treating illnesses and injuries, developing treatment plans, prescribing medications, interpreting diagnostic tests, and performing routine soft tissue surgeries and dentistry where applicable.
The veterinarian will also maintain accurate medical records, promote preventative healthcare, follow hospital protocols, and collaborate with the wider veterinary team to ensure a high standard of patient care while contributing to a positive, supportive, and team-oriented working environment.
The opportunity is open to both experienced veterinarians and new graduates, with the owner happy to provide mentorship.

Practice Details
The hospital is equipped with digital X-ray and an in-house laboratory. The owners are also open to investing in additional equipment based on the clinical interests of incoming veterinarians, giving a new DVM genuine scope to influence how the hospital develops.
The facility includes five examination rooms, a very large surgical suite, large kennel facilities, and significant additional space that can accommodate new procedures and future service growth. The hospital has been established within the Oakland community for approximately 38 years.
Clinical services include general small-animal medicine, wellness examinations, preventative healthcare, vaccinations, diagnostic testing, digital radiography, laboratory testing, dentistry, general surgery, and walk-in and urgent care.
The practice is privately and family owned with no intention of selling and has an extremely established client base. The owners want incoming veterinarians to play an active role in the next stage of the practice, with opportunities to introduce new services, recommend additional equipment, and potentially develop areas such as orthopedics. They are looking for someone who can help grow the practice and work in partnership with the existing team.

Team
The hospital has a growing team that focuses on collaboration and communication. The opportunity is particularly suited to a veterinarian who values medical autonomy, enjoys a busy caseload, and wants to have a genuine influence over the future development of a privately owned hospital.
