Independently owned. No corporate ownership, no corporate metrics. We're a small, established general practice in Concord, bordering Clayton and Walnut Creek and are looking to add a second full-time doctor — not to fill a gap, but because we're intentionally building toward a two-doctor practice with real staying power. Here's the honest pitch: our clients are loyal because they trust the care they've gotten here for years. We want a doctor who's excited to earn that same trust over time, with real support behind them while they do it. A few specifics on how the role runs day to day: 30-minute appointment slots 4-day work week No on-call Direct, hands-on mentorship from our owner-veterinarian from your first week onward. This isn't a token orientation period, it continues as long as you want it to Collaborative case management early on, moving toward independent days as you get established. The pace is yours, not a fixed script Pay and benefits, up front: Base salary of $190,000, plus a production incentive once your own caseload is established. $10,000 signing bonus Three weeks of paid time off, plus five separate paid CE days $2,000 yearly continuing education budget 401(k) enrollment available immediately Malpractice coverage, state license, and DEA registration covered in full 100% discount on care for your own pets No non-compete, period The facility: A well-equipped 2,700 sq ft space with 3 exam rooms and a dedicated surgical suite.

On hand:

full digital X-ray, ultrasound, in-house bloodwork analyzers, and dental radiography. We run on Avimark with Otto Flow's AI scribe — fully paperless, so you're not stuck on documentation after hours.

The team:

A stable, cross-trained group led by our practice manager and assistant manager, supported by 6 veterinary assistants, 2 kennel assistants, and a receptionist, averaging about 3 years with us. People know each other's roles well enough that time off doesn't create chaos.

Why Concord:

East Bay living without inner-Bay-Area traffic or cost. Mount Diablo's trails are minutes from the clinic, BART gets you into San Francisco in under an hour, Napa and Livermore wine country are close enough for an afternoon trip, Lake Tahoe is a 3 hour drive from us, and Walnut Creek's restaurants and shops are a short drive out. This is a fit if you: Want to grow a genuine, lasting client base rather than rotate through someone else's patients Value being mentored rather than left to figure it out alone Prefer plain talk over polished corporate language Are thinking long-term — including the possibility of a future ownership stake, if that interests you If that sounds like the kind of practice you want to be part of, we'd love to hear from you!
