Step into a senior GP role with real clinical autonomy, modern medicine, and the time/resources to practice at the standard you believe in.

• Great teams win: High doctor-to-support-staff ratios with trained veterinary nurses assisting on procedures, lab work, and client education. 

• Quality-first medicine: Digital radiography (including dental), ultrasound, in-house lab, and strong referral pathways. 

• Fear Free & AAHA mindset: Low-stress handling, modern workflows, and consistent protocols. 

• No non-compete: Focus on doing great work without restrictive covenants. 

What You’ll Do 

• Lead best-in-class GP care across wellness, internal medicine, dentistry, and routine soft-tissue surgery 

• Manage urgent-care level presentations (stabilize/triage, treat or refer as appropriate) 

• Communicate clearly and kindly with pet parents; build lasting relationships 

• Help coach junior doctors/technicians and contribute to CE, QA, and protocol development 

Compensation 

• Base salary: up to $185,000 (commensurate with experience) 

• Production: 20–22% with no negative accrual 

• Sign-on/relocation assistance available 

• OTE: $180,000 – $240,000+ depending on caseload, production, and bonuses
