Whether you're an experienced Medical Director, a current practice owner, or an associate veterinarian ready to explore ownership for the first time, we'd love to connect.
You won't just practice medicine here. You'll have the opportunity to lead the hospital, shape its future, and share in its success.
The Role
As a Partner Veterinarian, you'll combine hands-on clinical medicine with leadership, team development, and practice growth. You'll work alongside our current veterinarians, Dr. Anthony Meglino and Dr. Kathleen Doherty, while helping guide the hospital's medical standards, culture, and long-term direction.
This is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact on both the medicine practiced and the future of the hospital.
