About East Hampton Veterinary Group

East Hampton Veterinary Group has served the East End since 1929 and is the
oldest veterinary practice in the region, trusted by generations of families for
compassionate, personalized care. Today, the hospital is owned and led by Dr.
Kenneth Palmer, who blends traditional veterinary medicine with homeopathic and
holistic treatments including Chinese herbal therapies and acupuncture. The
practice is equipped with digital and dental radiography, in-house laboratories,
echocardiogram capabilities, and offers a wide range of surgical services from
routine procedures to advanced surgeries such as TPLO and TTA, along with
dentistry, acupuncture, and fear-free techniques. We also offer online booking,
utilize digital records through the latest version of Impromed, and provide
tools like PetDesk and an online store to enhance the client experience. Our
culture is rooted in communication, kindness, and collaboration, supported by a
strong team that allows veterinarians to focus on practicing high-quality
medicine. The schedule follows the seasonal rhythm of the Hamptons, with a
busier late spring through early fall and a steadier off season.

As the practice approaches its 100-year anniversary, we are seeking an
experienced veterinarian with at least 2 years of clinical experience who enjoys
both medical and surgical care, with confidence in spay, neuter, dentistry, and
soft tissue surgery. As we continue to build out our team, including hiring a
Medical Director, this is an opportunity to be part of a hospital that is
actively growing and evolving. We are looking for someone who wants to
contribute ideas, help shape workflows and team culture, and play a meaningful
role in the next phase of the practice. This is a strong fit for a veterinarian
who values collaboration, wants a voice in how a hospital operates, and is
excited to help build and grow within a well-established, community-trusted
practice.

We are dedicated to establishing a culture that celebrates all forms of
diversity and allows us to be an inclusive service provider in this community.
