Uptown Animal Hospital is part of the Lakefield Veterinary Group—a family-owned company that offers support and resources to hospital teams while empowering them to make decisions about how they practice medicine and show up for their communities. Uptown Animal Hospital is looking to welcome a Full-Time or Part-Time General Practice Veterinarian to our team and rapidly growing hospital! We have mentorship available for new or recent graduates.

Our Culture:

At Uptown Animal Hospital, we believe the best way to provide compassionate, quality care to pets is by putting relationships—with our clients, patients, Team Members, and community—at the heart of everything we do.

• We are committed to providing value + the highest quality medicine
• Our team atmosphere is thoughtful, empathetic, and education focused
• We maintain high standards being AAHA accredited while serving the residents of Gig Harbor, WA
• While we encourage veterinarians to practice medicine in their own way, our hospital boasts a robust mentoring program to guide associates with less experience.

- We would welcome an enthusiastic and team-centric veterinarian to work in our GP practice. In addition to wellness care, you can manage a variety of interesting medical and surgical cases in a well-equipped hospital on the cutting edge of care. We encourage collaboration with other veterinarians and hospital staff to provide the highest standard of care.

Our Values:

The way we approach our work matters. Our core values—do the right thing, fun, wow service, respect, and learning—guide everything we do at Uptown Animal Hospital.

Community Impact:

Our commitment to pets extends beyond our hospital walls.

We participate in local events, such as the maritime parade, to help support the community.

Our Team Members can give back to communities around the globe through our partnership with World Vets. Each year, we send a group of doctors and support staff abroad to help pets in need and support programs that nurture healthy relationships between people and animals.
