We’re working with a growing, independently owned small animal hospital in the South Bay area of Los Angeles that’s looking for a full-time Veterinarian to join their team — with a clear path to part ownership.

This role is ideal for individuals seeking a career that offers more than just clinical work. You'll be trusted with real autonomy from day one and have a genuine voice in how the hospital operates. While this isn’t a formal leadership position to begin with, it offers flexibility, influence, and a stake in the future of the practice.

What Makes This Role Unique?

  • True Clinical Autonomy – You’ll have the freedom to practice medicine your way — no micromanagement.

  • Collaborative Culture – Your input matters. You’ll help shape how things are run.

  • Work-Life Balance – Enjoy a Monday–Friday schedule with no weekends.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Managing routine medical and surgical cases with confidence and autonomy

  • Overseeing medical records and ensuring a high standard of patient care

  • Collaborating with the team to optimize appointment and walk-in flow

  • Supporting a positive, team-first culture that values communication and respect

  • Raising medical standards through evidence-based protocols and continuous improvement

  • Identifying opportunities for operational growth and improved efficiency

  • Playing a key role in shaping a supportive, forward-thinking workplace

Compensation & Benefits

  • Competitive and negotiable base salary

  • 20% production bonus

  • Potential sign-on bonus

  • Complete benefits package (Medical, Dental, Vision, 401K, PTO, CE allowance, etc.)

  • Equity/ownership track

  • Relocation assistance available if needed

Who This Is For

You’re a licensed DVM with 3–5 years of experience who’s looking for:

  • More say in how things are done

  • A long-term home, not just a stepping stone

  • The opportunity to build something meaningful — and benefit from it

Whether you’re mid-career or already experienced, this is a great fit if you want to be involved, valued, and invested in.
