Job Description

Clinical Director – Montclair Pet Hospital, Oakland, CA

Lead with Purpose. Practice with Passion. Thrive in a Team That Feels Like Family.

Are you a skilled and compassionate veterinarian ready to take the next step in your leadership journey or are you currently working as a Clinical Director? At Montclair Pet Hospital, we’re looking for a Clinical Director who’s not only an exceptional veterinarian but also a natural mentor, collaborator, and motivator.

This is your opportunity to guide a passionate and growing team in one of Oakland’s most charming neighborhoods — where small-town warmth meets big-city access.

Why Montclair Pet Hospital?

We’re a thriving advanced general practice with a loyal client base and a reputation for quality, compassion, and collaboration. Our veterinarians bring expertise across:

• Advanced general practice including cystotomies, GI explorations, mass removals
• Soft tissue surgery – spays, neuters, urgent care cases
• Abdominal ultrasound and echocardiograms
• Pocket pets? Yep, we see a few of those too!

We also have separate surgical and dental suites, ultrasound, and a strong support team eager to grow and learn — many say it's the best team they've ever worked with.

The Role: Clinical Director

As Clinical Director, you’ll balance clinical excellence with operational leadership. You’ll:

• Lead by example in delivering exceptional patient care

• Coach, support, and elevate fellow veterinarians and support staff

• Collaborate with hospital leadership on workflow, culture, and client experience

• Have the freedom to shape how we grow, while knowing your ideas are heard and valued.
