Veterinarian - West Cincinnati, OH

Vet-Owned. People-First.

Be part of building something from the ground up.

Acute Pet Urgent Care is opening on Cincinnati’s West Side in White Oak, OH in Summer 2026 - and we’re intentionally assembling a small, founding team of veterinarians who want more than just a job.

This isn’t stepping into an established hospital with fixed systems and legacy culture. It’s helping define one.

If you’ve ever wanted:

• A voice in how a hospital operates
• Input on workflows and team culture
• The chance to shape urgent care medicine in a growing community
• High-quality medicine without overnight ER burnout

This is that opportunity.

Cincinnati’s West Side is home to a dense, family-centered community with strong primary care relationships and increasing demand for accessible urgent care. Our White Oak hospital will deliver emergency-level medicine in an urgent care setting - designed for sustainability, collaboration, and clinical confidence.

You’ll see cases like:

• Lacerations and minor trauma
• GI obstruction workups
• Toxin ingestions
• Acute vomiting/diarrhea
• Urgent diagnostics and stabilization

All without overnights or major holidays.

This opportunity works beautifully for:

• Emergency veterinarians ready to step away from overnight intensity while still practicing high-level medicine
• Experienced GPs who want to expand diagnostic confidence in a supportive environment
• Newer doctors eager for hands‑on mentorship and structured growth in urgent care

We’re hiring founding DVMs who want to help establish the clinical tone and culture of this hospital from day one.

We’re a vet‑owned organization built by people who understand the real demands of this profession. Our leadership team includes experienced DVMs, Managing Veterinarians, and a board‑certified criticalist serving as Chief Medical Officer.
