Associate Veterinarian

We are working on behalf of a well established, AAHA accredited small animal hospital in Stafford, VA that is looking to welcome an Associate Veterinarian to its team. Privately owned and locally trusted for more than forty years, the practice has grown steadily under its current owners and is now recruiting as several long tenured doctors move toward retirement. The hospital runs out of a spacious, purpose built facility with six exam rooms opening onto a large central treatment area, with lab, radiology, surgery, surgery prep, and a dedicated special procedures room all close at hand. Doctors have digital radiography, digital dental radiography, in house IDEXX diagnostics, ultrasound, surgical and therapy lasers, and full surgical monitoring across surgery, dental, and treatment. Four licensed technicians support the doctor team and a licensed tech is scheduled for every surgery, so you can lean on your support staff rather than work around them. Full time here is four days a week, with a rotating Saturday counting as one of those four days, and shifts are staggered so no one routinely covers the full opening hours. There is no community on call rota and emergencies are referred to local ER partners. Appointments run twenty minutes for wellness visits and thirty minutes for sick and senior cases, with a day that is built to finish on time. The practice would love someone comfortable with surgery and dentistry, but will consider a strong appointment focused DVM, and new graduates are genuinely supported with mentorship from experienced colleagues and on site management. Compensation is base salary plus quarterly production, with no negative accrual.Key HighlightsAAHA accredited, privately owned small animal hospital with six exam rooms and a large central treatment areaFour day work week as standard full time, with a rotating Saturday counting as one of the four daysNo community on call rota, emergencies referred to local ER partnersDigital radiography, digital dental radiography, in house IDEXX lab, ultrasound, surgical and therapy lasersFour licensed technicians, with a licensed tech scheduled for every surgeryTwenty minute wellness appointments and thirty minute sick and senior visitsBase salary plus quarterly production bonus, with no negative accrualMentorship from long tenured doctors and on site management, new graduates welcomePart time applicants considered, and DVMs who prefer not to perform surgery will be consideredAbout YouDVM or equivalent degree that allows you to practice veterinary medicine in the USYou hold, or are eligible for, licensure in VirginiaComfortable with general practice medicine, including wellness, diagnostics, and chronic case workupsInterest or skill in surgery and dentistry is preferred, and an interest in ophthalmology is a bonusExcellent communicator and respectful team player who enjoys working closely with techniciansHappy to train on clinic protocols and ezyVet, whether you are experienced or newly qualifiedBenefitsCompetitive base salary plus quarterly production bonus, with no negative accrualSIMPLE IRA with employer match up to 3 percentHealth, dental, and vision insurance after approximately two months, plus employer paid basic life insuranceTwo weeks vacation to start, with flexibility around additional time off when you need it$1,200 annual CE allowance plus three paid CE daysFour day work week with staggered shifts and no general on call responsibilitiesSign on bonus and relocation assistance open to discussionNext StepsIf you are interested, hit “Apply” or for a confidential chat to find out more, simply email hello@atlasconsultancygroup.com or call the office at (332) 867 1807
