Ready to Elevate Your Career in a Supportive, Well-Established Veterinary Team?

I’m excited to share a fantastic opportunity for an Experienced Associate Veterinarian to join a long-standing, highly respected small animal and exotics practice serving communities across Southern Illinois. Whether you’re an established clinician or a newer graduate eager for mentorship, this role offers true clinical variety, autonomy, and the backing of an exceptional support team.

For more than four decades, this multi-site hospital group has been delivering comprehensive medical, surgical, and diagnostic care with an experienced, collaborative veterinary and nursing team. With multiple busy clinics and a strong reputation for quality, you’ll step into an environment where your development is genuinely supported and your expertise is valued.

What You Can Expect

As an Associate Veterinarian, you'll enjoy:

  • A diverse caseload spanning routine care, medical workups, surgery, and the occasional exotic patient

  • Strong mentorship from an experienced veterinary team

  • A collaborative culture that encourages clinical freedom and high-quality medicine

  • A schedule that supports balance, with flexibility across weekdays and Saturdays

What You Bring

I’d love to speak with veterinarians who:

  • Hold a DVM (or equivalent) and are eligible for state licensure

  • Are confident in general medicine and surgery (or eager to grow with guidance)

  • Communicate clearly and compassionately with both clients and colleagues

  • Appreciate a team-driven approach to care

What’s on Offer

  • Competitive compensation with a pro-sal model

  • Flexible scheduling

  • Comprehensive benefits: health, dental, vision, paid leave, liability coverage, retirement plan, and staff pet discounts

  • Paid CE and professional memberships

  • Medical autonomy with access to a strong mentorship network

  • Sign-on bonus, relocation support, and student loan assistance

  • Opportunity for future ownership
