Whether you already have experience with exotics or are eager to expand your knowledge in this area, our team welcomes veterinarians with an interest in diversified medicine. Clinical interests may include wellness and preventative care, diagnostics, dentistry, soft-tissue surgery, internal medicine, urgent/same-day care, and client education.

With a diverse caseload and broad scope of medicine, veterinarians have the opportunity to develop and pursue their individual interests while practicing exceptional patient care.

• Open to New Graduates or Experienced Veterinarians: We welcome both new graduates and experienced veterinarians to join our collaborative team. New graduates will benefit from a supportive environment and our well-developed, structured one-year mentorship program, designed to provide clinical guidance, confidence-building, and individualized support throughout your first year in practice. Experienced veterinarians will enjoy autonomy, a diverse caseload, and opportunities to continue developing their clinical interests.

• Supportive, Experienced Technical Staff: Practice alongside a compassionate, knowledgeable support team dedicated to delivering exceptional patient care and client service. The hospital values teamwork and efficiency, allowing doctors to focus on practicing high-quality medicine while leveraging the skills of an experienced support staff.

The team values communication, collaboration, and continuous improvement, creating an environment where veterinarians can thrive both professionally and personally. 

• Patient Mix: A diverse small-animal caseload primarily consisting of dogs and cats, with opportunities to see urgent and same-day appointments. The hospital is also comfortable treating select pocket pets, exotics, and small mammals, adding variety for veterinarians who enjoy a broader scope of companion animal medicine.
