Urgent Care Veterinarian

Full-Time is only 4 days per week. 

PriorityVet - Pet Urgent Care is proud to have the ONLY INDEPENDENTLY OWNED, STAND-ALONE, UNAFFILIATED, EXCLUSIVELY URGENT CARE PRACTICES CURRENTLY IN EXISTENCE IN THE NATION.  We are unaffiliated with any general practice encouraging unrestricted referrals from local practices. Our clinicians never have to compete for practice resources, have no hospitalized cases to tend to and provide no routine care, ever. Everyone and every resource is dedicated to our urgent care clinicians and care. This allows us to focus on non-critical cases and to be nimble, efficient and economical in our delivery of superior outpatient care in this rapidly growing niche. We diverge from traditional ERs and urgent care "departments" currently available for after-hours care.  We have reduced wait times, lower bills and less stress by design.

What we do:

• Urgent care by appointment with walk-in available
• Only treat dogs and cats
• Cater to pet owners presenting with cases that are not truly emergent
• Pets are largely treated on an outpatient basis
• Work-ups are always encouraged
• Short-term admissions for diagnostics, stabilization, brief treatment and short anesthetic procedures (minor wounds/abscesses, unblocking)
• Life-saving emergent interventions when necessary
• Estimates are generated and presented by support staff prior to all care
• We refer pets requiring major surgery or continued care to a 24-hour care facility 15-20 minutes away.
• Pets are directed back to their family veterinarian for follow-up care
• Follow-up calls are made the next day.

What we don't do:

• Triage or give medical advice over the phone
• Hospitalize overnight
• Major surgery
• Preventative care
• Exotics, wildlife, rescues or strays
• Euthanasia as a stand-alone, on-demand procedure.

How we do it:

• Our hours (2PM - 10PM daily, excluding 7 holidays) allow for the recruitment of well-qualified staff (not just those willing to work the overnights and holidays like in typical ER)
• We are fully equipped - electric lift tables, in-house laboratory, digital radiography, Tonopen, ultrasound, EKG-defibrillator, blood pressure, pulse-oximetry and cloud-based practice software.
• We incorporate FearFree techniques into our practice to foster less stressful visits for all involved.
• We electronically forward reports and diagnostics to the rDVM the same day.
• Associates are supported by a minimum of 3 staff members
• Ready access to other location clinicians and referral hospitals for case collaboration when needed.

Who are we looking for:

• An optimistic, gregarious, energetic Full Associate Veterinarian
• Minimum of 1 years of general practice experience
• Solid General Medicine skills a must
• Emergency experience is not required but aptitude in triage and stabilization of critically ill or traumatized pets is desirable.
• The successful candidate will demonstrate a willingness to foster and promote the values of PriorityVet: Respect • Compassion • Accountability • Professionalism • Fun • Excellence • Teamwork

Full-Time Benefits Package:

• Competitive, Customized Compensation Package based on Individual Need
• Health/ Vision / Dental Insurance
• Paid Time Off
• 401K
