Veterinary Emergency & Specialty Hospital (VESH) is excited to announce the recent opening of our brand-new Hospital in West Springfield, MA-- and business is booming! We are thrilled to provide these much-needed services to an even larger community now, and we want you to join us!

Our 24/7 ER team collaborates closely with our Internal Medicine, Surgery, Exotics, and Urgent Care departments. We are looking for a Veterinary Hospitalist who wants to help us create and nurture a world class practice in our state-of-the-art facility.

About this role

The Veterinary Hospitalist will work directly with our emergency and critical care team.  Their primary responsibility will be to receive transfers from the emergency veterinarians that require hospitalization. Patients may be transferred the same day, the following day, or may be discharged by hospitalist on the following day.  

Secondary responsibility would include receiving minor follow-up appointments that come through as “same day emergencies” as well as low acuity emergencies (i.e., urgent care). Duties will include assisting in the intake and management of hospitalized emergency patients, creating and recommending treatment plans, maintaining and updating medical records and facilitating transfers to the appropriate specialty service as needed.

The ideal candidate will be internship-trained or have at least two years of professional experience as an emergency DVM prior to their application with VESH. We are interested in candidates who are collaborative, friendly, and compassionate. We have an amazing team of CSR's, Assistants, and Technicians that will support your efforts in providing the best treatment and care to our patients and clients.

Our brand new, 12,000 sq ft facility features a brand new helical CT, fluoroscopy, endoscopy, ultrasound, digital radiography, ICU, in-house lab, full blood services, and much more!

This is a great opportunity for anyone looking to practice high quality medicine in an ideal location featuring a great team, top of the line equipment, and strong financial incentives. Join now and help us create the hospital of your dreams!

New Exotics Department at VESH

We are thrilled to announce the recent addition of Dr. Jordan Adair, DABVP (Avian) to the VESH team—and with him, a brand-new Exotics department! While his board certification is in Avian Medicine, Dr. Adair is experienced in treating a wide range of exotic animals, including reptiles, rabbits, ferrets, pocket pets, and more. We have seen a wide variety of these pets already at VESH! Dr. Adair is also eager to develop a wildlife program at VESH and has been partnering with local wildlife rescue and rehabilitation groups.

The addition of Exotics has added exciting and interesting patient interactions for the whole team and tapped into the exotics/zoo med interest of many of our support staff members. The ER team has also seen an uptick in exotic and avian cases presenting to ER—offering an even more interesting caseload for our ER doctors who enjoy working with them. Dr. Adair loves to teach and train, so if this is an area of interest, we’d love to discuss it! If you’d prefer to stick solely with canine/feline medicine however, we can 100% support this as well!
