An Exciting Associate Veterinarian Opportunity in a Thriving South Carolina Community

I’m delighted to be working with a well-respected small-animal practice based on the eastern side of Columbia, South Carolina, and I’m looking to speak with a dedicated Associate Veterinarian who’s passionate about delivering exceptional care while enjoying a positive, team-driven environment.

About the Role

This is the kind of position where relationships matter. You’ll become a familiar face to long-standing clients who trust your judgment, value your communication, and rely on you through every stage of their pet’s life. Your day-to-day work will include wellness and preventative care, medical case management, routine surgeries, and diagnostics. Above all, this practice is looking for someone who approaches veterinary medicine with intention, empathy, and clinical confidence.

Who Thrives Here

I’d love to connect with veterinarians who:

  • Are committed to high-quality, personalized medicine

  • Work well in a collaborative, team-first setting

  • Communicate clearly and compassionately with clients

  • Bring enthusiasm, professionalism, and positivity into the workplace

Requirements:

  • DVM/VMD (or equivalent)

  • State veterinary license (or eligibility)

  • Active or eligible DEA license

About the Hospital

The practice is a well-supported general clinic offering a wide range of services, including:

  • Wellness and preventative care

  • Vaccinations and microchipping

  • Puppy/kitten and senior care

  • In-house diagnostics and laboratory testing

  • Routine soft-tissue surgeries (spay/neuter, mass removals, etc.)

The team is dedicated, compassionate, and highly trained—united by a shared belief that every pet is a valued family member deserving of thoughtful, informed care.

Hours:

  • Monday–Friday: 8:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m.

  • Saturday: 9:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m.

Located in the Forest Acres area, this part of Columbia offers a blend of suburban comfort, excellent amenities, outdoor spaces, and a strong sense of community.

Professional Growth & Support

You’ll have access to extensive resources—leadership development, mentorship programs, and structured educational opportunities designed to help you excel clinically and professionally. Whether you’re looking to refine your skills or grow into future leadership, you’ll have the tools and backing to reach your goals.

Compensation & Benefits

You’ll be supported with a comprehensive package that includes:

  • Competitive salary with production incentives and no negative accrual

  • 401(k) with employer match

  • Medical, dental, and vision coverage

  • Paid parental leave + childcare and eldercare support

  • 24/7 mental health access

  • Substantial CE funding and professional development resources

  • Student loan assistance

  • Pet care discounts and wellness perks

This benefits suite is designed to help you thrive both inside and outside the practice.
