Managing Veterinarian | Pittsburgh Premier Veterinary Care

Pittsburgh, PA

A brand-new hospital. A team excited for leadership. An opportunity to make your mark.

If you've been looking for a leadership role where you can truly shape a hospital's future—not just maintain the status quo—this could be exactly what you've been waiting for.

Pittsburgh Premier Veterinary Care is searching for a passionate Managing Veterinarian to lead our growing team as we enter an exciting new chapter. Our beautifully renovated, state-of-the-art hospital is ready for its next leader, and we're looking for someone who enjoys mentoring others, practicing exceptional medicine, and building a collaborative, positive culture where both people and pets thrive.

Why You'll Love It Here

You'll be joining an experienced, enthusiastic support team of six—including three Credentialed Veterinary Technicians—who are eager to welcome a medical leader they can learn from and grow alongside.

Our newly renovated hospital was thoughtfully designed to support outstanding patient care and make your day-to-day practice as enjoyable as possible. You'll have access to:

• Five spacious exam rooms
• A fully equipped surgical suite
• Dedicated dental suite featuring heated dental tables and hand-held dental radiographs
• Digital radiology suite with portable ultrasound
• Open-concept treatment area with four procedure tables
• Dedicated rehabilitation space complete with an underwater treadmill, dry treadmill, therapeutic ultrasound, and laser therapy

A Leadership Role That Makes a Difference

As our Managing Veterinarian, you'll have the opportunity to help shape both the medical direction and future growth of the hospital. You'll:

• Mentor and support the veterinary team
• Guide medical protocols and uphold high standards of patient care
• Partner with hospital leadership on strategic planning, recruiting, and future growth
• Maintain a clinical caseload that reflects your interests and strengths
• Help introduce new services, ideas, and programs as the hospital continues to expand

If you enjoy inspiring others while still practicing medicine, you'll feel right at home here.
