Our practice has been an integral part of the San Diego community and has been providing high-quality care and medicine to our clients and pets for the past 20 + years. We offer a friendly and collaborative environment and enjoy a special camaraderie among doctors as well as with all our staff. We are looking for a talented Doctor to join our team, who is passionate about providing incredible service to our devoted client base, and someone who will embody our philosophy of promoting excellence in medicine and service to our clients, referring veterinarians and each other.
Outside of work, there’s so much to do in San Diego and the surrounding areas. The hospital is in a great location close to beaches and downtown, 15-30 minutes from great mountain hiking, biking, and horseback riding, and driving distance to ski resorts. This is the heart of the Southern California lifestyle: no sport, hobby, or professional/personal interest is out of reach. We want our team to enjoy life outside of work and San Diego is an amazing place to do that.
