A well-established small animal hospital in San Diego is looking to add an Associate Veterinarian to its clinical team. This is a strong opportunity for someone who wants to practice quality medicine in a supportive environment with genuine autonomy and excellent infrastructure behind them.
The role suits a vet who enjoys a varied GP caseload, values efficiency in practice, and wants to be well supported day-to-day without being micromanaged.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
Up to $200,000 salary depending on experience
4:1 support staff ratio allowing you to focus on clinical work
Flexible schedule designed around sustainability and balance
No Sundays
Strong, experienced nursing and support team
Modern hospital with up-to-date diagnostics and equipment
Established and loyal client base
Clinical autonomy with supportive leadership
The Practice
This is a busy but well-organised small animal hospital with a strong reputation in the local area. The team works collaboratively and values clear communication, consistency, and high clinical standards.
You will see a broad GP caseload including preventative care, internal medicine, dentistry, and routine surgical work, with the ability to develop areas of interest over time.
What They're Looking For
DVM or equivalent eligible to practice in California
Confident communicator with clients and colleagues
Team-oriented approach
Commitment to high-quality patient care
All experience levels considered, support available for development
Why San Diego?
Coastal living, year-round sunshine, outdoor lifestyle, and a strong veterinary community. San Diego offers one of the most balanced environments for both career progression and quality of life.
