Community Associate Jobs in Aberdeen, WA (NOW HIRING)

Grays Harbor Veterinary Services | Montesano, Washington

Grays Harbor Veterinary Services is looking for an Associate Veterinarian who wants to become part of a practice - and a community - where relationships matter.

Located in Montesano, WA, we serve a small, close-knit community with a wide variety of veterinary needs. That means our doctors practice truly well-rounded veterinary medicine: getting to know families and their pets over time, managing everything from preventive care and everyday medicine to complex cases and procedures, and becoming a trusted veterinary resource for the community.

If you're a veterinarian who enjoys variety, values meaningful client relationships, and likes the idea of practicing medicine where your work can make a visible difference, Grays Harbor could be an exceptional place to build your career.

Make Grays Harbor Veterinary Services Your Home Hospital

There is something different about practicing veterinary medicine in a smaller community.

Our clients rely on us for a broad range of care, and our veterinarians follow patients throughout their lives rather than focusing on just one narrow area of medicine. One appointment may be a new puppy visit, the next a challenging medical workup, and the next a surgical or dental case.

It's an environment that rewards curiosity, adaptability, strong clinical judgment, and great communication.

Our team provides comprehensive small animal veterinary care and sees some avian and exotic patients as part of the diverse needs of our community. You don't need an exotics background or interest to thrive here. What matters most is that you enjoy being a well-rounded veterinarian and want to contribute to a collaborative community practice.

Our experienced veterinary team brings interests across preventive medicine, surgery, dermatology, diagnostic ultrasound, avian medicine, and more, creating plenty of opportunities to collaborate and learn from one another.

A Broad, Interesting Caseload

Our full-service veterinary hospital provides a wide range of medical, diagnostic, surgical, and preventive services, including:

• Small animal general practice and companion animal medicine
• Preventive care and wellness
• Internal medicine and diagnostic workups
• Soft tissue surgery
• Orthopedic surgery
• Veterinary dentistry and dental surgery
• Digital radiography
• Diagnostic ultrasound
• In-house laboratory diagnostics
• Dermatology
• Laser therapy
• Behavior consultations
• Occasional avian and exotic animal medicine
• Hospice and end-of-life care

The breadth of our caseload gives veterinarians the opportunity to continue developing as clinicians while pursuing the areas of medicine they enjoy most.

• Small Animal General Practice
• Companion Animal Medicine
• Preventive & Wellness Care
• Internal Medicine
• Soft Tissue Surgery
• Veterinary Dentistry
• Diagnostic Imaging

• Client Education & Relationship-Based Medicine

You don't need to love every area of veterinary medicine. We're interested in what you enjoy, where you're strongest, and where you'd like to continue growing.

Responsibilities Include

As an Associate Veterinarian at Grays Harbor Veterinary Services, you'll have the opportunity to:

• Develop lasting relationships with clients, pets, and families within the Grays Harbor community
• Provide comprehensive preventive, medical, and surgical care to companion animals

• Collaborative and team-oriented approach to patient care
