Urgent Care Veterinarian – Mountain View Veterinary Hospital
Are you a veterinarian who enjoys the pace, variety, and clinical challenge of urgent care medicine? Do you like problem-solving in real time and having the support, tools, and team to handle cases in-house? Mountain View Veterinary Hospital in Lacey, Washington, is seeking an Urgent Care Veterinarian to join our well-established, 6-doctor, AAHA-accredited practice.
This role is primarily focused on urgent care, though we are absolutely open to candidates interested in a mix of General Practice and Urgent Care, depending on comfort level and professional interests. Whether you’re an experienced urgent care doctor or a GP looking to expand into more advanced, same-day cases with strong support, this is a great opportunity to practice meaningful medicine without unnecessary referrals.
Our hospital has the capability to manage a wide range of urgent and emergent cases in-house, and we generally do not refer many cases out to ER. Our team is comfortable handling advanced procedures such as GDVs, splenectomies, C-sections, blood transfusions, and more. Case involvement is always based on the individual DVM’s comfort level, and collaboration is readily available.
Historically, we have treated many emergent cases that local ERs previously managed, and our team is well-equipped to continue doing so.
Typical urgent care presentations include ear infections, vomiting, inappetence, lameness, diarrhea, skin conditions, ADRs, and toxicity cases, along with higher-acuity presentations when appropriate.
You’ll be supported by a highly experienced team, including 7 licensed veterinary technicians, allowing you to practice efficiently and confidently without feeling stretched thin.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys weekend medicine and appreciates having consistency and clarity in scheduling.
Work alongside experienced doctors and technicians who value communication, teamwork, and mutual respect. You’ll never feel isolated when managing challenging cases.
As an AAHA-accredited hospital, we are committed to practicing high-quality, evidence-based medicine with a strong emphasis on client communication and patient care.
Whether you’re newer to urgent care or looking to continue refining your skills, collaboration and mentorship from seasoned clinicians is readily available.
Lacey offers a fantastic quality of life with easy access to outdoor recreation, parks, and trails, while remaining close to Olympia and Tacoma for dining, culture, and entertainment. Known for its strong sense of community, excellent schools, and mild Pacific Northwest climate, Lacey is a wonderful place to live and work.
