Southern Veterinary Partners is a veterinarian owned and operated network of over 300 animal hospitals. Our veterinarian founders started the company seven years ago with the goal of providing high-quality care and exceptional client experiences. We pride ourselves on maintaining the original culture of the hospitals that join our team while SVP provides operational support. This gives our veterinarians the best of both worlds: partnership, benefits, networking, and support while maintaining a family culture.

We are currently looking for a Board-Certified Veterinary Ophthalmologist to join our rapidly growing team. Northlake Veterinary Hospital, located in Mandeville, Louisiana just north of New Orleans, provides quality veterinary care to the Northshore regional area including Covington, Madisonville, Robert, Hammond, Abita Springs, and Lacombe.

Northlake Veterinary Hospital also has a brand new boarding facility for all your doggie day care and feline home-away-from-home needs!  The experienced veterinarians and friendly staff at Northlake Veterinary Hospital are committed to providing our clients and their pets with individualized care from the puppy and kitten stage to the older years. By providing consistent quality health care, we strive to help your pet live a long and healthy life. The values needed to maintain our goals include a strong work ethic, honesty, communication, dedication, compassion, and commitment to strengthening the human-animal bond.
