About the Role:

Animal Hospital of Gordon County is seeking an experienced Associate Veterinarian to join our busy, established practice in Calhoun, GA. This is a great opportunity for a veterinarian who enjoys a steady caseload, a supportive team, and the close-knit feel of a smaller practice.

Our hospital primarily sees small animals, with approximately 10% exotic cases, and is equipped with ultrasound and dental X-ray. The practice includes two exam rooms, a surgical suite, boarding kennels, and an open treatment area. Our treatment and lab spaces were recently remodeled with updated wet tables, improved lighting, and a more open, functional layout.

We pride ourselves on our family-oriented culture and long-tenured team, with very little employee turnover. Doctors are well supported with approximately two technicians per DVM, allowing them to focus on providing quality care and building strong relationships with clients and their pets.

  • Who We're Looking For

We're looking for an experienced veterinarian who is comfortable managing a busy caseload and enjoys working collaboratively with a well-established support team.

What's in it for you
