Company Description

Lead Veterinarian, Partner & Owner | Morristown, NJ

PriorityPet Urgent Care (“PPUC”) is redefining how pets access veterinary care by bridging the gap between routine veterinary visits and emergency hospitals. Our urgent care model provides after-hours walk-in care for pets experiencing urgent, non-life-threatening medical concerns, helping families access the care they need when they need it the most. PPUC helps support the local community's needs by offering convenient evening and weekend hours.

If you have ever dreamed of owning your own practice, you are not alone. We believe all veterinarians deserve the chance to shape their own culture, lead their own team, and practice medicine their way. We are seeking an experienced Veterinarian to step into a leadership and Medical Director role where you will receive competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, and the unwavering support of a national veterinary organization.

Job Description

Imagine opening the doors to a brand-new hospital you have helped create from the ground up. From equipment selection to hiring your team to shaping medical protocols, you will have full medical decision-making authority to create the practice you have always envisioned!

You will be backed by the resources of a dedicated support team of more than 140 professionals across functions such as HR, Finance, Marketing, Recruiting, Operations, and Strategic Growth.

We handle the business side of practice ownership so you can focus on what inspires you most: delivering exceptional patient care and leading a high-performing veterinary team. Most importantly, we deliver on our promise of medical autonomy because you are the expert in veterinary medicine.

Own your future with PPUC supporting you every step of the way:

Dedicated Support – Launch your hospital with the backing of an experienced organization that is dedicated to opening a successful hospital from day 1.

Medical Autonomy – Practice veterinary medicine with true autonomy and the freedom to focus 100% on what you love!

Ownership Made Easy – Become a hospital owner and leader with no out-of-pocket cash investment.

PPUC will give you the opportunity to bring your vision to life, without the financial and time commitment of starting a practice.
