Companion Animal Hospital River North, located in the River North neighborhood of Chicago, IL, is looking for a full-time Associate Veterinarian to join our growing team! We are proud to be a Fear Free and Cat Friendly Certified Practice. New grads are welcome to apply. Our clinic would provide an excellent environment for candidates interested in expanding their surgery (soft tissue and orthopedic) and/or exotics skills.

About our clinic: Companion Animal Hospital River North is a full-service small animal hospital that treats dogs, cats, and our associate Dr. Grace Archer sees a wide variety of exotic and avian species. Our state-of-the-art, three-story hospital was built in 2018 by our medical director, Dr. Amanda Schnitker. She has worked very hard to create a collaborative environment, healthy work-life balance, and diverse team. Our basement contains our offices and grooming services, the ground level contains our lobby, 8 exam rooms, and treatment area, and the upper level contains our surgery and dentistry suites, ICU, and daycare.

Our hospital is fully equipped with an in-house lab, digital radiography, digital dental radiography, and ultrasound. We also have therapeutic laser, PRP, Vetrostim, and stem cell therapy. All our doctors have their own laptop containing our electronic medical record software, ezyVet. Each doctor also has a dedicated doctor’s assistant, who help with client communication, taking medical histories, assisting during exams, and making treatment plans. 

At CAH River North, we perform a large variety of routine and advanced soft tissue surgeries, orthopedic surgeries, and exotic surgeries. Dr. Schnitker completed a specialty surgical internship and additional training in the TTA procedure, so she is experienced with multiple CCL repair procedures, patellar luxations, simple fractures, and most advanced soft tissue surgeries. Our doctor’s assistants keep clients informed of when their pet is going into surgery, when they are out, and a picture of when they are fully recovered.

Our doctors rotate through a schedule of opening, mid, and closing shifts and usually 1 weekend per month. There are no on-call responsibilities since we have several referral/emergency locations nearby. You can learn more about our incredible practice at companionrn.com.
