Job description

Surprise! Surprise! Surprise! Our busy, 4 doctor practice is located in charming, sunny, Surprise, Arizona. Surprise is known for it's low taxes and affordable housing and we are listed as the 7th Safest city in Arizona this year. Our community is surrounded by beautiful desert, regional lakes and gorgeous mountain ranges. As an added bonus, we are within a short driving distance of Las Vegas, Utah and California. What more could you ask for?

Are you looking for an awesome place to work? Do you want to work in a fun, family like, partnership atmosphere? Would you like to have a life outside of work? We understand the need for relaxation and family time. Because of that, our veterinarians work four, 10 hour shifts, from 7am-6pm Monday through Friday and typically are able to end their work day on time. In order to best serve our patients, we have extended lunch hours for our DVMs allowing them to make phone calls and communicate with staff about their expectations for the day. The day to day routine rotates between surgery and appointments; with each doctor having between 2-3 experienced and knowledgable technicians working side by side with them. We have all the bells and whistles that many other practices offer too, but our guess is that you're looking for something a little different than every other clinic.

We would be happy to have our associate DVMs talk with you about how it feels to be a part of the Grand Paws Animal Clinic family so please feel free to contact us for any additional information.
