Welcome to our FAMILY-owned clinic! One of only two privately owned practices in the area. I am looking to add on to our reception team, my current receptionist (Lisa) who is a gem, has been with me over 9 years. She is currently hoping to retire in 6 months, and therefore I need to find another great fit for our veterinary clinic. Having veterinary experience will be a must have, as you will be the primary lead veterinary receptionist. If you are interested, please send a cover letter and resume to our clinic email at staff@portorchardanimalclinic.com. Unicorns do exist!

It can be different:

you can feel part of a collaborative team who puts quality over quantity. I do think it is possible to have a clinic care just as much about you as you do about us. If you have been part of the vet profession for a while, you know what I am referring to. We are low drama, collaborative, and caring people who will invest in you as much as you invest in us. I care about the people who work for me, I believe in a work life balance and loving the job which you are doing. We are a solo doctor practice with all the bells and whistles of a corporate office, but I think you will feel the integrity of this practice when you walk through the doors.
