Associate Veterinarian

A full-service El Dorado Hills hospital where primary care doctors have access to 24/7 emergency support, advanced diagnostics, rehabilitation, and a 75+ person team under one roof.

This is a full-service hospital with Primary Care, 24/7 Emergency Services, and an in-house Spa & Salon. The Primary Care caseload includes routine wellness alongside dentistry, dental radiography, mass removals, laceration repairs, foreign bodies, cystotomies, gastropexies, soft palate resections, and other soft tissue procedures. Doctors also have access to ultrasound, laser therapy, PRP, acupuncture, rehabilitation with water treadmill therapy, Cellfie, stance analysis, and oxygen kennels.

The hospital has more than 75 team members, including experienced doctors and RVTs, with dedicated surgical and treatment areas. Primary Care veterinarians work four 10-hour shifts, with weekends as needed, and have the support of the hospital's 24/7 ER department without an on-call requirement. The wider team also manages advanced emergency cases, exotic pets, and a Canine Blood Donor Program.

The practice has an established, loyal client base and provides a concierge-style approach to care. That means doctors can build long-term relationships with clients while having experienced support staff and emergency clinicians available when cases require a different level of care. The culture is described as positive and straightforward, with an emphasis on open communication and taking the work seriously without making the day unnecessarily formal.
