Responsibilities

What Your Days Look Like

Diagnose and treat patients across the full scope of general practice, with in-house diagnostics, radiology, and ultrasound

Perform Surgery on Patients

Manage cases from first exam through recovery, with an experienced support staff that keeps things running so you can focus on medicine

Build genuine client relationships — explaining conditions clearly, guiding treatment decisions, and earning the kind of trust that keeps a practice thriving

Collaborate with fellow veterinarians on complex cases — real consultation, not just parallel shifts in the same building

Prescribe, treat, and vaccinate with the confidence that comes from having the tools and team behind you

Qualifications

What We're Looking For

DVM, VMD, or equivalent degree, with active licensure in Arizona (or eligibility to obtain)

Comfortable working across general practice — diagnostics, medical management, and surgery — with the confidence to make sound clinical decisions independently

A communicator clients trust — you can explain a diagnosis clearly, have a hard conversation when needed, and leave an owner feeling heard

Genuinely collaborative — you enjoy practicing alongside other veterinarians and value a team that pushes each other to be better

  • Calm under pressure, decisive when it counts, and honest about what you don't know
  • A real fondness for the work — the medicine, the animals, and the people who love them
