What if you could practice the medicine you enjoy and still have a life outside the hospital?
A privately owned small-animal practice in the Palm Springs area is looking for an Associate Veterinarian to join its close-knit team.
The owner loves surgery and is happy to take on a large portion of the surgical caseload, giving you the flexibility to focus on the medicine you enjoy most -whether that’s GP, workups, client relationships, surgery, or a mix.
The practice also has ultrasound, endoscopy, laser, shockwave, in-house diagnostics, regenerative medicine, visiting specialists, and mobile CT when needed.
And the team actually has fun together - from Shark Week celebrations to team events and plenty of laughs along the way.
A veterinarian who enjoys good medicine, communicates well, values teamwork, and wants the autonomy to build a role that fits them.
If you're happy where you are, no pressure. But if you're curious about a private practice where you can do interesting medicine, have flexibility, and actually enjoy the people you work with, this could be worth a conversation.
