Our veterinary hospital is a 24,000 square-foot facility that offers multiple modalities and emergency care. Our leadership team, as a privately-owned hospital, allocates funds every year to reinvest in technology, medical equipment and our team! We don’t just claim to be “state of the art” - we are!

What we offer you:  

While we are extremely proud of all that makes our facility top-of-the-line, we are even more proud to say that providing our team with a guaranteed healthy work-life balance is one of our top priorities. Our Specialists enjoy a 4-day work week, allowing ample time to enjoy being a true-Alaskan. We actively work to maintain a high technician to doctor ratio so our Veterinarians have the support that they need.

We offer a competitive base salary + production with NO negative accrual. As DVMs, we were devastated when we started our careers to learn about negative accrual. When we built our business plan for Tier 1 VMC, we abolished negative accrual. We value our veterinarians and their time and we show it!

The family-friendly culture within our practice is second to none! Other places talk about company culture, we live it!  As a team, we come together to gauge the wellness of our team and adjust company-wide benefits based on the needs of our team. For example, this could be catered lunches during our busiest season, snowmachining trips to get out and enjoy the outdoors, float trips to fish local streams, self-defense classes, private movie screenings, or sometimes just one of our DVM's using the kitchen to make a glorious Thanksgiving meal for everyone on shift. We want to make certain your hard work doesn’t go unnoticed!
