Looking for an awesome associate to compliment our small animal practice.  Come join one of the longest established, independently owned practices in the great State of Maine.  The position would focus on our busy small animal practice that sees a great variety of cases from the routine to the complex.  While the owner does do some limited large animal work, we are in need of a enthusiastic small animal veterinarian.  We see primarily cats and dogs with the occasional rabbit or pocket pet as well. There is a growing demand for someone whom might also be interested in exotics as well as avian practice.  Our practice is located adjacent to I-95 in central Maine, bordering the city of Waterville and  about halfway between Portland and Bangor, each about 1 hours drive.  Our well equipped 4,400 square foot small animal hospital was built in 2005 and the core members of the staff have been here for years and years, making us like family.

At the same time, it gives us fresh ideas and an opportunity to learn as well.

The Oakland-Waterville area is a local service center for the surrounding communities, with all the usual amenities of a small city (restaurants, movie theaters, shopping, cultural activities, etc.).
