As a clinical leader in our hospital, you'll drive positive change and medical excellence. In collaborative partnership with the Practice Manager and hospital leadership team, you will guide the hospital's medical standards, support hospital performance, and foster a positive, collaborative culture. Central to this role is your active involvement in recruiting and retaining top veterinary talent, coaching and developing associate DVMs, and upholding high standards of patient care.

You'll mentor and develop associate veterinarians, support hospital operations through effective leadership and data informed decision making, and play a key part in shaping clinical excellence and team engagement while modeling Thrive Pet Healthcare's Core Values.

The success of your patients' care matters to you, and your success matters to us. Our progressive compensation model includes competitive base salaries with production compensation opportunities plus no negative accrual.

You're willing and able to lead with your head, heart, and hands, bringing people together to achieve a common purpose and drive hospital wide excellence. You'll enjoy collaborating with a diverse team of veterinarians who value mentorship, knowledge sharing, and continuous learning while helping shape the future of a growing hospital and regional veterinary community.

We're a collaborative general practice located in Lakeland, Tennessee, providing comprehensive wellness and preventive care, surgery, dentistry, rehabilitation, diagnostics, and urgent care services. Our doctors enjoy a diverse caseload that includes routine wellness visits, soft tissue surgery, dentistry, and urgent medical cases such as trauma, seizures, and gastrointestinal emergencies. With flexible scheduling, doctors maintain autonomy over their procedural caseload and work closely with clients to determine the best care for every patient.

Our hospital fosters a collaborative, teaching focused environment where veterinarians routinely support one another and help mentor veterinary externs. As part of a seven hospital network with approximately 30 veterinarians, you'll have access to an exceptional regional support system with clinicians whose interests include dentistry, ultrasound, feline medicine, wellness, and reproduction. We are equipped with digital radiography, digital dental radiography, ultrasound, endoscopy, four surgical tables, four dental stations, twelve exam rooms, two treatment areas, and hospitalization capabilities that allow our doctors to practice high quality medicine every day.

We have a supportive, team oriented work environment with a loyal and growing client base. We pride ourselves on collaboration, mentorship, medical excellence, continuous learning, and delivering exceptional client service. Dedicated, hardworking veterinarians who enjoy building client relationships, practicing high quality medicine, mentoring others, and working as part of a collaborative team are all equally important.

We are open Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Saturday through Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., proudly serving Lakeland, Memphis, and the surrounding Mid South communities.
