This role allows you to stay clinically engaged without sacrificing balance, connection, or continuity of care. We're flexible, open to conversation, and committed to understanding your availability and goals—and building a schedule that works for both you and the hospital.

From routine wellness exams and vaccinations to advanced diagnostics and internal medicine, we are committed to supporting the health and well‑being of every patient. Our facility is equipped to handle both everyday cases and more complex medical needs.

• In‑house Diagnostic Tools: In‑house lab, digital radiography (including dental), and ultrasound.
• Highly Skilled Support Staff: Our technicians are experienced in anesthetic monitoring, perioperative care, and provide round‑the‑clock monitoring for hospitalized patients.

Located just outside Denver, Lakewood offers easy access to some of Colorado's best outdoor recreation—from hiking and biking in the summer to skiing and snowboarding in the winter. The area is also home to a thriving food and craft beverage scene, cultural festivals, and year‑round farmers' markets.

We're seeking a veterinarian who is passionate about delivering high‑quality care and enjoys the variety and pace of a busy general practice. A special interest in orthopedics is a plus, but not required. If you're enthusiastic about working on a diverse caseload and value a supportive, team‑driven environment, we'd love to hear from you.
