Veterinarian Wanted – Belleville, IL

4/29/22

Full-Time or Part-Time Position in Belleville, IL

Looking for a place to grow that fosters a career, not just a job?  Want an excellent support staff that feels like family & clients that feel more like friends?  How about a clinic that has enough space?!  (What!  Who knew that was even a real thing?)

Best Friends Animal Hospital is looking for one or two amazing veterinarians to join our growing practice that focuses on excellent patient care, and team care.  We take the time to get to know our clients with half-hour appointments, even for rechecks.  We can’t always prevent chaos, but we do try so we limit our appointments & always block some off for those same day just can’t wait issues.  We let nurses be nurses (and we have quite a lot) so doctors can do doctor things. 

We have all the typical stuff – digital xrays, laser, Idexx lab equipment, cloud based software that allows texting & emails – and some of the untypical stuff including no emergencies & no after-hours calls.  There’s nothing worse than not being able to relax (and have your beverage of choice) when you finish your day!  We are open until noon on Saturday, but those are rotated so nobody works more than 2/month.  Sundays are supposed to be fun days, so we are closed on those. (We do have fun on other days of the week too!)  We are privately owned so all decisions are made in-house with the best interests of patients, clients and YOU in mind.  Heck, we even seek input from our team for a lot of decisions. 

Do you enjoy surgery or outpatient care?  Do you have any special interests you’d like to pursue? Let’s work together to create a schedule that best suits you & we will offer the support & resources.  Do you like exotics?  Two of our doctors see those & would like nothing more than to collaborate, teach, etc., but an interest in that isn’t necessary.  All that is, is a good attitude and the ability to practice good medicine.  We’re AAHA certified, and many of us are Fear Free certified.  And we’re so excited to be adding square footage!  (We weren’t kidding about that space comment!)  With 8 exam rooms, including a feline only, 2 consult rooms, 2 surgery suites, 2 dental tubs in a dedicated area, a large team room and so much more, we’ll be practicing in paradise.  (That’s an overstatement, obviously!  But it’s going to be amazing!) 

So if you’re interested in finding out a bit more, whether you’re new to practice, or you’re looking for a better fit, please get in touch!  We’d love to hear from you by email at dr.kim@bestfriendsahpr.com, phone (call/text 618-789-1517), or you can apply online at https://bestfriendsahpr.com/career-opportunities – just scroll to the bottom & click on Online Application.  Who knows, the grass could be greener on another side!

Veterinarian Wanted (F/T) – St Louis, MO

City Paws Veterinary Clinic in St. Louis, MO is looking for a badass veterinarian to join our not so perfect team of crazy. We’re going to be real here– some days are a total shitshow, and we’re ok with that. It’s Vet Med! We know that our clients, patients, the schedule and our team are unpredictable. We roll with it, do the best we can for our patients and for the most part have a good time doing it. If this sounds like something you can roll with too – keep reading! 

We don’t have a super fancy building, but our 2+ year old-startup is welcoming, cozy, and designed with our patients in mind. We have five exam rooms (including a cat only room and consultation with separate entrance), a roomy treatment area, digital radiology including dental, in-house bloodwork and ultrasound. We are Cat-Friendly and Fear-Free certified, because everybody needs less stress and more happy (more snacks!).  

Our South City neighborhood includes the Missouri Botanical Garden, Tower Grove Park and the Grove District–full of awesome bars, breweries, and restaurants. Our clientele, many of whom have been with our doctors and techs for more than a decade, are just as unique we are and we love them. 

We may not be able to catfish you with a large sign on bonus or ridiculously large salary, but we are NOT CORPORATE and never will be. We are a 1.5 Dr practice (would you like to make it 2.5?!) independently owned by a female veterinarian who works here everyday. We DO offer a fair salary based on production, CE, mentoring, support for personal growth, no bullshit corporate SOPs or product restrictions, AND a schedule with no weekends, no on-call, and no after hours. Our city has multiple ERs, specialty hospitals, concierge surgeons and diagnostic referral centers that we have great relationships with — we do our thing and we refer to them to do theirs. 

Our ideal candidate/unicorn has a few years of experience under their belt, including surgery and dentistry (maybe even love to do them?!), and is looking for a place to spend several years or decades. We want someone that not only practices good medicine, but practices being a good person and wants to really contribute to our hospital and culture.  We know you would love to help grow our practice with YOUR professional passions.
