Coastal Animal Hospital is hiring at our Carlsbad location! Located just north of San Diego, we are in a beautiful location with access to all that California has to offer.
Our hospital philosophy is that we use science to improve the lives of animals, while placing value on quality of life and quality of medicine. We invest in our core values and team culture. We seek to take the latest science, apply it in our daily practice, and spend time to educate owners on how to keep their pets healthy and treat their sick animals. We have 30 to 60-minute appointments, so we can take the time we need with our clients. We proudly teach our associates to perform laparoscopic spays. We have published two papers in JAVMA from our practice and have more in the pipeline. We hold monthly Journal Club doctor rounds so that we’re always learning together. We also have a 501c3 non-profit organization that is there for families and sick animals that need help when times are tough.
Coastal Animal Hospital is the practice that we envision the future of veterinary medicine will look like. Come help us build that vision!
