Want to spend your days off at the beach, boating, fishing, and enjoying all Florida has to offer? Then come join our team in sunny Lakewood Ranch, Florida. Our progressive, 4 doctor, small animal practice is looking to add another full-time veterinarian.

Our stand-alone facility was built and opened in 2012, and is equipped with all the bells and whistles: in-house Idexx lab suite (Catalyst, Cat One, Procyte, Snap Readers, Urine Analyzer, Sedivue), digital radiographs, two dental stations with VetPro 5000s and Sopix digital dental radiographs, new Samsung ultrasound, Companion Laser therapy, radiosurgical unit and paperless Cornerstone practice management software. Our building includes five exam rooms, two treatment areas, two waiting areas, a surgical suite, a dental suite and an additional dental station, a radiology room, an ultrasound room and much more. We recently gave the facility a facelift to make it more efficient and pleasant to serve our clients and patients.

 Most weeks doctors will work four days and have three days off.  Doctors rotate weekend duties. Because we have several emergency practices in our area, our doctors are not on call overnight or weekends. Our current team consists of 4 experienced veterinarians who are eager to offer their mentorship, and our area has many local veterinary specialists that are a phone call away for consultation.

 Since the beach is about a half hour drive from our doors, it is easy to enjoy the outside pastimes Florida is famous for on your days off. We are half an hour away from the world-famous Siesta Key and Bradenton Beaches. We are less than 2 hours from Orlando with Disney World and Universal Studios. We are about an hour from Tampa with the Buccaneers NFL football team, the Lightning Hockey Team, and the MLB Tampa Bay Rays. This area hosts MLB Teams from around the country for their Spring Training Camps.

New graduates (or soon to be veterinarians) or experienced doctors are welcome to apply. Our goal is to hire someone who will become an integral part of the practice and the community for years to come.

While clinical skills and desire to learn are important, the applicant’s personality and communication skills are equally vital. The applicant must be a team player with a positive, friendly, energetic, outgoing personality.

Applicant must be able to communicate fluently in the English language both verbally and in writing.

Applicant must have a DVM from an accredited Veterinary School (or graduating soon) and an active Florida veterinary license in good standing.
