We pride ourselves on quality, evidence-based care that begins with establishing client relationships and focusing on educating our pet owners and practicing preventative medicine. We are a busy practice meeting high seasonal influx of patient care needs. New team members must thrive in a fast-paced environment and like variety! Technology and full-service medicine is important to us, allowing us to provide a wide range of services for the pets we serve.

Full anesthesia monitoring is utilized for our surgeries and medical procedures, allowing us to be proactive in preventing complications and evaluating our pets with cardiac concerns. We are capable of overnight hospitalized care, and strive on a daily basis to manage all aspects of our patients' needs to provide a level of convenience that may just make a client's day a little easier. Assistants are responsible for helping with daily appointments, surgical and dental procedures, provide client communication, and execute disinfection protocols. This role will also need to work directly with receptionists to perform core scheduling, payment, and client care needs. Starting wage will be based on veterinary experience. We offer full benefits including medical insurance, retirement benefits, paid time off, and supplemental insurance options. We provide uniforms for all staff members and provide competitive veterinary service and product discounts.
