For the right candidate, this position offers a clear pathway to future Medical Director responsibilities.
At Worthington Woods Animal Care Center, you'll find a supportive culture, a collaborative medical team, and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the future of the practice while continuing to grow clinically and professionally.

Why Worthington Woods Animal Care?
After 30 plus years building the practice, our founder, Dr. James Miller is preparing for a slower pace!

Our business is THRIVING. We have a consistent review average of over 4.8 stars on Google. You are stepping into a role to maintain excellence, not to put out fires.

Our DVM team is awesome (no, we aren’t biased). They regularly collaborate, problem solve and support each other’s growth.
In our practice, we believe that investing in our team and workplace yields better medicine. We are actively growing and investing in our practice! We are finishing an expansion/remodel creating an additional treatment area and more exam rooms. In this role, you will have the space and support to grow.
