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.
