Job description


Veterinary Dentist & Oral Surgeon
Virginia Veterinary Centers - Short Pump | Richmond, Virginia
Build the dentistry service you've always envisioned.
Virginia Veterinary Centers (VVC) is seeking a board-certified Veterinary Dentist & Oral Surgeon or an individual who has successfully completed residency training to join our collaborative, growing team at our Short Pump location in Richmond, Virginia.
For more than 40 years, Virginia Veterinary Centers has been a trusted destination for advanced specialty and emergency care throughout Central Virginia. Our Short Pump hospital brings together an experienced team of specialists and emergency clinicians who are committed to exceptional patient care, strong referring veterinarian relationships, and a collaborative culture where specialists genuinely enjoy working together.
Our hospital offers 24/7 emergency and critical care alongside Internal Medicine, Surgery, Oncology, Ophthalmology, Neurology, Diagnostic Imaging, Anesthesiology, and Dentistry & Oral Surgery. Whether you're looking to grow an established service or bring new ideas to the department, you'll have the support, resources, and collaborative environment to make a meaningful impact.
Why Virginia Veterinary Centers?
  • Collaborative, multi-specialty environment with an experienced emergency and specialty team
  • Dedicated support staff committed to high-quality patient care
  • Strong referral network and long-standing reputation throughout the region
  • Advanced diagnostic and surgical capabilities
  • Opportunity to further develop and expand the Dentistry & Oral Surgery service
  • Culture that values teamwork, mentorship, and clinical excellence

We're looking for a compassionate, collaborative clinician who is passionate about delivering exceptional patient care while helping shape the future of the service. We believe that outstanding medicine starts with supporting the people who provide it, and we value a healthy balance between career growth and life outside the hospital.
Life in Richmond
Richmond offers the perfect blend of history, culture, and outdoor adventure. Enjoy award-winning restaurants, a thriving craft brewery scene, scenic parks and trails along the James River, vibrant arts and music, and easy access to both the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Virginia coast. With excellent schools, diverse neighborhoods, and a growing economy, Richmond is consistently recognized as one of the best places to live in the Southeast.
If you're ready to join a team that values collaboration, innovation, and exceptional patient care, we'd love to connect. Please send your CV to Talent Acquisition Partner Amanda Schultz at Amanda.Schultz@ethosvet.com to start the conversation!
Ethos Veterinary Health, part of the NVA Group, is where you come to practice world-class medicine, and help shape what veterinary care becomes next.
Across our network of 140 specialty and emergency hospitals, science moves forward, standards are elevated, and innovation is put into practice every day. You'll work alongside respected veterinary leaders in academic-caliber hospitals designed for learning, teaching, and discovery.
Here, mentorship is a two-way street. You'll share your expertise, learn from others, and continue to grow, clinically, professionally, and personally.
At Ethos, you inspire hope, deliver exceptional care, and pursue veterinary medicine at its highest level, together.
Benefits for this role may include health insurance (medical, dental, vision), retirement benefits, paid time off (including sick leave and vacation), short-term and long-term disability, and life insurance.
Ethos is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Ethos does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, physical or mental disability, national origin, veteran status or any other basis covered by appropriate law. All employment is decided based on qualifications, competence, merit, and business need.
