Job Description

Company Description

Culbreth Carr Watson Animal Clinic is looking for an Associate Veterinarian to join our team in Rome, Georgia — a charming, historic city built across seven hills at the meeting point of three rivers, tucked into the foothills of the Appalachians. If you're looking for a practice with a strong reputation, a supportive team, and a genuinely fun place to put down roots, we'd love to talk.

Why Rome, Georgia?

Yes, it's named after that Rome — and it takes the theme seriously, in the best way.

A city built on seven hills, just like the original. Rome sits where the Etowah and Oostanaula Rivers join to form the Coosa — a genuinely scenic setting with river views from nearly everywhere downtown.

Georgia's largest Victorian-era downtown district, full of boutique shopping, locally loved restaurants, and craft breweries — plus a free trolley (the "Roman Chariot") to get you around without needing to find parking.

Climb the Clocktower. 107 steps up gets you the best view in town, overlooking the rivers and rooftops.

The Capitoline Wolf — an actual gift from Rome, Italy to Rome, Georgia — makes for one of the most photographed spots downtown, right at the interactive Town Green fountains.

40+ miles of trails, including sections of the Pinhoti Trail and the AdventHealth Redmond ECO Greenway, looping along all three rivers and connecting parks, restaurants, and shops.

Minor league baseball under the lights. Catch the Rome Emperors at AdventHealth Stadium, complete with post-game fireworks on select nights.

A dog-lover's town, unapologetically. Rome hosts Schnauzerfest every October — a two-day festival with a costume parade, agility contests, and a "Schnauzer Idol" singing competition, alongside plenty of everyday dog-friendly parks and patios.

Close enough to everywhere. Downtown Atlanta and Chattanooga are both under 90 minutes away, and Cave Spring — a picturesque nearby town with a natural spring, cave, and antique shops — is just 15 miles down the road.

Home to Berry College and Shorter University, giving Rome a college-town energy alongside its small-city charm.

Ready to Make Rome Home?

If you're a veterinarian looking for a great practice in a genuinely special town, we'd love to hear from you. Send your resume and a note about what you're looking for in your next role.
