Ready to Become an Emergency Veterinarian in One of California’s Most Sought-After Locations?
I’m thrilled to share an outstanding opportunity for a talented Emergency Veterinarian to join a truly exceptional specialty and emergency team in Berkeley, California—a vibrant, intellectually rich, and pet-loving community right in the heart of the San Francisco Bay Area.
This hospital has recently undergone a major expansion and now features state-of-the-art surgical suites, advanced imaging including a GE Optima CT scanner, a full in-house laboratory, dedicated imaging facilities, and a wide range of specialists across surgery, oncology, radiology, ophthalmology, and exotics. You’d be stepping into an environment where collaboration is part of the culture and where the emergency team is fully supported by a broad network of experienced clinicians.
