This is a great opportunity for an experienced veterinarian who loves practicing medicine but is also excited about mentoring others, shaping hospital culture, and having a voice in how a practice grows. And if ownership is something you’ve thought about, joint ownership is available—but completely optional.

✨ A Few Big Perks

• $40,000 signing bonus
• $45,000 Long-Term Commitment Bonus — paid as three $15,000 milestone bonuses
• Management bonus based on hospital performance
• $20,000+ relocation assistance for qualifying moves
• Joint ownership opportunity if that’s part of your career goals
• Leadership and management training provided

Your Role

You’ll be the medical leader of the hospital while still doing what you love—practicing veterinary medicine.

You’ll work closely with the Hospital Manager to support the team, mentor and develop staff, maintain high medical standards, and help the hospital continue to grow.

You’ll also have the opportunity to support new graduates, strengthen relationships within the community, and help shape the future of the practice.

Great medicine starts with a great team—and we have one! Our fantastic 10-person support team includes technicians, veterinary assistants, receptionists, and kennel attendants who work together to keep each day running smoothly and support our doctors every step of the way.

It’s a collaborative, team-focused environment where everyone plays an important role in delivering exceptional care.

🏥 A Hospital Built for Great Medicine

You’ll get to practice in a brand-new, state-of-the-art facility featuring:

• Six exam rooms
• Enclosed surgical and dental suites
• Large treatment area
• Private doctors’ office
• Full in-house laboratory
• Digital radiology
• Ultrasound
• Therapeutic laser
• Boarding accommodations for up to 40 pets

In other words, you’ll have the space, technology, and support to practice great medicine while building the kind of hospital culture you want to be part of.

🌟 Benefits That Support You, Too

We offer health, dental, vision, and life insurance, vacation and sick time, 401(k) with match, paid licensing, CE days and allowance, and more.

You’ll also have access to hands-on CE at our 4,000-square-foot veterinary training facility outside Chicago, with programs in dentistry, anesthesia, diagnostic ultrasound, surgery, and other clinical areas.
