Ass. Vet- hour from DC - 100k to start then production +10k signing/moving bonus

Eagle’s Nest Animal Hospital offers a place for you to learn, grow, and thrive as a veterinarian.

We believe in hiring doctors who want to practice high quality, small animal medicine and work with an experienced staff in an upbeat environment. Our practice is always evolving as we learn new and better ways to practice medicine. Our core beliefs are excellent medical care, great customer service and fair pricing. Our clients agree. Going the extra mile is what brings people back. Last year we averaged 30% growth and this year we expect to match that! This growth means there is a lot of production up for grabs, which could mean more income for you. As your production grows we will move you from salary to production to keep you fairly paid. A third year associate made roughly 160k last year.

In March of this year we will open our new facility, a freestanding 8,500 sq. ft animal hospital with 8 exam and 2 comfort rooms. The hospital is almost two hospital in one. The feline side contains separate areas for waiting, reception, exam, comfort, pharmacy, wards, and treatment. The only time a cat has to travel to the other part of the hospital is for imaging or surgery. There is even a separate laundry to keep pheromones separate. Because Fear Free doesn’t just mean our patients are happier, it means we can treat them more effectively and safely.

Location:

We are located in a rural county in central Virginia at the base of the Northern Neck.

We are about an hour from Richmond and DC, and two hours from Baltimore, Charlottesville, and Norfolk. Day trips to the beach and mountains are easy. There are a number of stables to board horses at including some with indoor arenas. Much of staff lives in Fredericksburg which is a small city with the usual assortment of stores, plus a Wegman’s grocery store which we love. It’s like Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, and Safeway in one giant building. (It’s bigger than our Lowe’s)

We are open for appointments M-F, 6 federal holidays off, and we rarely have to come in for a C-section, emergency or to deal with a hospitalized patient.

Mentoring and rounds. Because a second opinion helps us all learn and practice better medicine.
