Associate Veterinarian

Atlas is excited to be working with a privately owned small animal hospital in Wadsworth, Ohio, serving a growing suburban community outside Akron and Cleveland. The practice has expanded significantly in recent years and now has a steady caseload that has created the need for another full-time veterinarian.The hospital sees dogs and cats for preventative care, diagnostics, dentistry, and general surgery. The surgical suite is equipped for soft tissue procedures and laparoscopic surgery, with digital radiography, dental radiography, ultrasound, in-house blood and urine analyzers, blood pressure monitoring, and rigid scopes available onsite. A flexible endoscope is also being added as the practice continues to expand its capabilities.The current team includes two full-time DVMs, three full-time RVTs/CVTs, three receptionists, and a part-time assistant, with additional relief coverage as needed. Technicians are cross-trained across appointments and surgery, with the aim of maintaining around 1.5 to 2 technicians per veterinarian. The owner is closely involved in the practice and places a strong emphasis on respectful communication and reasonable hours.The client base is primarily made up of established suburban families who have continued to return as the surrounding community grows. That steady demand means doctors have a consistent caseload without needing to rely on high-volume scheduling, while the practice still has room to develop urgent care, extended hours, endoscopy, and additional surgical capabilities over time.Key highlightsPrivately owned small animal practice serving Wadsworth and the surrounding Akron/Cleveland suburbsEstablished client base with steady demand driven by continued local growthTwo full-time DVMs currently supported by three full-time RVTs/CVTs, three receptionists, and a part-time assistantDedicated surgery and appointment days can be structured to balance the workloadFull surgical suite with soft tissue and laparoscopic capabilitiesDigital radiography, dental radiography, ultrasound, and in-house laboratory equipmentRigid scopes onsite with flexible endoscopy capabilities being addedDogs and cats only, with no exotic or pocket pet caseloadAppointments finish by 4:45pm, with the goal of leaving the hospital around 6:30pmFull-time schedule defined as a minimum of 30 hours per weekOne Saturday a monthNo negative accrual on the production modelAbout youDoctor of Veterinary Medicine degreeLicensed or eligible for licensure in Ohio and in good standingComfortable with general practice medicine and client communicationSurgical experience, including spays, neuters, and dentistry, is preferredOpen to developing additional surgical, urgent care, laparoscopic, or endoscopy skillsExperienced veterinarians are welcome, with mentorship available for newer graduatesClear communicator who works well within a shared team environmentComfortable in a busy practice while maintaining a high standard of patient careBenefitsGuaranteed base salary with semi-production compensationProduction bonus available when established production thresholds are exceededNo negative accrualFull medical benefits401(k)CE supportFull-time from 30 hours per weekFlexible scheduling and part-time options availableMentorship and hands-on trainingOpportunities to develop additional surgical and diagnostic skills
