We are partnering with a well-established, independently owned veterinary hospital in Chicago's vibrant Pilsen neighborhood to identify a full-time Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) with an interest in small-animal general practice, urgent care, or a combination of both.

This is an opportunity to join a collaborative veterinary team that prioritizes compassionate patient care, thoughtful clinical decision-making, client education, and individualized treatment plans. The hospital provides comprehensive veterinary services for dogs and cats, including preventive care, diagnostics, sick-pet visits, general surgery, dental care, and same-day urgent care.

Whether your passion is building long-term relationships with patients and their families or evaluating and treating pets with immediate medical needs, this opportunity offers the flexibility to bring your clinical interests and strengths to the practice.

What You'll Do

• Provide high-quality medical care to canine and feline patients across wellness, preventive medicine, and sick-pet visits.
• Evaluate and manage urgent-care cases, including same-day medical concerns and acute conditions appropriate for an outpatient veterinary setting.
• Perform physical examinations, develop diagnostic and treatment plans, and recommend appropriate laboratory testing and diagnostic imaging.
• Communicate clearly with pet owners, helping them understand diagnoses, treatment options, expected outcomes, and costs.
• Build lasting relationships with clients through compassionate service, education, and individualized care.
• Collaborate with veterinary technicians, client service professionals, and fellow medical team members to deliver an excellent patient and client experience.
• Perform routine surgical and dental procedures consistent with your training, experience, and clinical interests.
• Maintain accurate medical records and uphold high standards of veterinary medicine, patient safety, and professional ethics.

What We're Looking For

• Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) or equivalent degree.
• Active Illinois veterinary license, or eligibility to obtain one.
• Experience in small-animal general practice, urgent care, or emergency medicine is preferred.
• Strong diagnostic, clinical decision-making, and communication skills.
• A compassionate, team-oriented approach to patient care and client relationships.
• An interest in practicing evidence-based medicine while considering each patient's individual needs.
• A commitment to continuing professional development and maintaining high standards of care.

Both experienced veterinarians and doctors with the right clinical foundation and a desire to continue developing their skills are encouraged to explore the opportunity.
