About the Opportunity:
We are excited to welcome an Associate Veterinarian to our well-established, community-trusted hospital. We’re seeking an experienced, compassionate clinician with strong communication skills, a team-oriented mindset, and solid clinical and surgical abilities. This is a great opportunity to practice high-quality small animal medicine in a collaborative environment where your expertise is valued and your impact is felt every day.
About Us:
We are nestled at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia’s scenic Shenandoah Valley, we are proud to be a full-service small animal hospital with a long-standing reputation for exceptional care and client service. For over 30 years, we have maintained AAHA accreditation, reflecting our commitment to delivering high-quality medical, surgical, dental, and therapeutic services.
Our compassionate, experienced team is supported by a strong LVT-to-doctor ratio of more than 2 to 1 and multiple veterinary assistants, allowing our doctors to focus on diagnostics, treatment, and surgery. We also prioritize balance with a shared rotation for weekend and holiday coverage, with each doctor taking a shift every six weeks, creating a collaborative and sustainable work environment.
What sets us apart?
Our hospital is a modern, well-equipped facility built for high-quality, efficient care. We utilize Cornerstone EMR to keep our team organized and focused on patients. The space includes six exam rooms, a multipurpose room, and a spacious treatment area with three procedure stations, including a lift table, dental wet tables, an oxygen cage, and a two-table surgical suite. We also offer dedicated cat and dog wards, an ICU and recovery area with oxygen support, and a separate isolation ward.
We provide digital and dental radiography, ultrasound, and in-house lab work, with additional support from Antech, Zoetis, and veterinary diagnostic labs. Our surgical caseload ranges from routine procedures to advanced soft tissue surgeries such as GDV, splenectomy, cystotomy, and mass removals, along with select orthopedic procedures including extra capsular ACL and MPL repairs. We also offer physical therapy and rehabilitation, along with comprehensive dental care including COHAT, radiography, extractions, and oral mass procedures.
