Associated Veterinarian

Position: Associated Veterinarian Needed
Company Description Lake Veterinary Clinic is looking for a compassionate, motivated Associate Veterinarian to join our team in Mount Dora - one of Central Florida's most charming small towns. Whether you're a recent DVM graduate or an experienced veterinarian ready for a change of scenery, this is a chance to build a rewarding career in a community that feels like a postcard.

About the Role As an Associate Veterinarian at Lake Veterinary Clinic, you'll provide high-quality medical, surgical, and preventive care to companion animals in a supportive, collaborative environment. We're looking for someone who genuinely loves animals and people, communicates well with clients, and wants room to grow their clinical interests. Relocating is a big decision, so here's why so many people fall completely in love with life here:
Mount Dora sits along the shores of Lake Dora, part of the scenic Harris Chain of Lakes, and is known for its walkable historic downtown filled with boutique shops, art galleries, and restaurants tucked among oak trees draped in Spanish moss. Outdoor life on the water. Lake Dora spans more than 4,000 acres and is popular for bass fishing, kayaking, and boat tours.

The Mount Dora Lighthouse at Grantham Point Park is one of the few inland lighthouses in the entire state, and it's become a beloved local landmark and photo spot right on the water. Renninger's Twin Markets, spread across 117 acres, draws antique hunters and treasure seekers from all over the state, and the historic downtown is full of independent shops, galleries, and cafes.

With a population of around 13,000, Mount Dora has that rare mix of small-town warmth and genuine culture, all wrapped up in one walkable, golf-cart-friendly community. Mount Dora sits about 30 miles northwest of Orlando, so big-city amenities, an international airport, and major sports and entertainment are all within about 45 minutes, while home is a quiet, lake-view retreat. From the Lakeside Inn, the oldest continuously operating hotel in Florida (built in 1883 and once host to President Calvin Coolidge), to the well-preserved historic downtown, Mount Dora has a story behind nearly every building.

Many of Mount Dora's inns, restaurants, and parks are pet-friendly, which fits right in with a community built around a love of animals.
