Vet-Owned. People-First.

Acute Pet Urgent Care is opening in White Oak, OH, and we’re seeking a Managing Veterinarian to help establish the medical direction, team culture, and operational rhythm of this brand new location.

As Managing Veterinarian, you’ll:

• Set the clinical tone and standards of care

• Mentor and develop associate DVMs

• Partner closely with the Practice Manager to shape workflows and team culture

• Collaborate with our Chief Medical Officer, a board-certified criticalist, for ongoing medical guidance and case support

• Help recruit and build a team aligned around thoughtful, sustainable urgent care medicine

You’ll practice high-quality urgent care without overnights or major holidays - while also stepping into meaningful leadership.
