Additional Information:
We are a busy, privately owned 7 doctor small animal practice in Virginia Beach, VA looking for 1-2 full time associates. Our practice has been in operation for over 40 years and we pride ourselves on practicing quality medicine to a very loyal clientele with a cohesive and enthusiastic team.
Our practice offers:
- In house lab work (Full IDEXX suite)
- Dental radiographs (full mouth performed on every dental)
- Surgical and therapeutic laser
- Ultrasound
- Weekly visits by mobile internist
- Every other week visits by mobile cardiologist
- Wonderful support staff, including five skilled LVTs
We are lucky to have multiple emergency clinics and specialists within a 20 minute drive, which we utilize frequently. We pride ourselves on prioritizing work-life balance and take this very seriously. Our full time associates work 32-36 hours a week and are encouraged to enjoy their time off and vacations.
Our practice is located within 5 minutes of the coast and a few of our doctors live a few steps from the beach or waterfront to enjoy the perks of this area. This is a great spot for outdoor activities including paddle boarding, biking, kayaking, and boating. Competitive compensation package includes full coverage of health insurance (100% of a GREAT health insurance plan is covered for DVMs), 401k profit share (we contribute 3% of salary to 401k, no match required), license/DEA/AVMA/liability including license defense, 15 days PTO, CE stipend($2500), and more.
A scheduled week includes 3 "appointment" days of 30-60min appointments from 9am-12pm and 1:30pm-5:15pm. Ninety minutes are left for lunch to allow for catch up and time to eat and relax. Last appointments are seen around 4:45-5:15 to allow for finishing records/call backs. Wellness visits are scheduled for 30-45 minutes, sick visits are scheduled for 45-60 minutes. Most doctors do surgery one weekday a week, which includes being in surgery from 8am-4pm. Usually this means having 3-4 procedures scheduled (spays, neuters, growth removals, dentals). Surgery is NOT required- we do have a few doctors that do not perform surgery and that is just fine. We have fantastic LVTs that run surgery and are very experienced with anesthesia. Veterinarians are scheduled for essentially half of Saturdays, but appointments are only from 9am-12pm.
We are a fun, laid back group that enjoys working together. We are looking for two more enthusiastic and efficient team members to complete our team. Despite being a busy practice, it is a great environment for new graduates because there are always multiple doctors in the building for mentorship and support. We are privately owned and planning to stay that way for the foreseeable future. If you are looking for the flexibility and independence offered by a private practice, please reach out to see if we may be a good fit.
