Job Description

Who We Are

North Shore Veterinary Clinic | Hawaii

Looking for a veterinary career where you can practice high-quality medicine, build lasting client relationships, and have the opportunity to make a real impact? North Shore Veterinary Clinic is seeking an Associate Veterinarian to join our team on beautiful Oahu.

Our practice is approximately 95% small animal, with opportunities to see some exotic and farm-animal cases. We focus on thoughtful, high-quality patient care while giving our doctors the time and resources to practice medicine well.

Why Join North Shore Veterinary Clinic?

  • 30-minute appointments for both wellness and sick visits
  • Approximately 15 patients per day
  • 2 veterinary technicians per DVM
  • Dental radiography and ultrasound
  • Opportunities for advanced surgery
  • Diverse caseload including small animals, exotics, and some farm animals
  • Supportive team with interests in dermatology, emergency/critical care, internal medicine, orthopedics, and soft-tissue surgery
  • Community involvement with organizations including the Humane Society, cat rescues, and Mission Aloha
  • Opportunities to collaborate with our partner hospital, Aloha Affordable Veterinary Services

Your Schedule

This is a full-time opportunity with a 4-day workweek, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM, including a 1-hour lunch.

As a satellite location, some shifts will have the DVM working independently, offering a great opportunity for a veterinarian who enjoys autonomy while remaining connected to a broader veterinary team.

What You'll Do

You'll provide comprehensive veterinary care through wellness and sick visits, diagnostics, surgery, dentistry, client education, and treatment planning. You'll primarily care for dogs and cats while having the opportunity to expand your experience with exotic and farm-animal patients.

We're looking for a veterinarian who is compassionate, collaborative, and passionate about delivering excellent patient care.

Qualifications

  • DVM or equivalent veterinary degree
  • Current or eligible Hawaii veterinary license
  • Strong communication and client-education skills
  • Interest in general practice and continued professional growth
