Your Next Chapter Starts Here
At Village East Animal Hospital, we're not just a workplace — we're a community. Our mission is to support your growth, celebrate your successes, and create a fulfilling career experience rooted in compassion, collaboration, and care. Whether you're just starting out or looking to expand your expertise, we'll be with you every step of the way.
Exciting News — We're Moving Into a Brand-New Building!
We're thrilled to announce that Village East is moving into a brand-new, single-level facility in Spring 2027! This is a rare opportunity to join a growing practice and help shape the future of a hospital built from the ground up with our team and patients in mind. Here's a peek at what's coming:
- All on one level — no stairs, no split floors, just smooth workflow
- Aiming for 12 exam rooms (may land closer to 10) — a huge jump up from just 5 in our current building
- 2 surgery suites, plus a double dental suite
- Open floor plan for treatment, designed for better collaboration and flow
- Indoor pet relief area
- All-new, updated equipment throughout
- New PIMS system
- We're even working on adding a comfort room that opens to the outdoors
Meet the Team You'll Be Joining
We typically run with 3 DVMs on schedule per day, so you'll never be on an island — support and camaraderie are built into every shift.
You'll also get to work alongside Dr. Durroh, who is rehab certified and performs TPLO surgeries regularly. He's a fantastic mentor for anyone early in their career looking to build surgical or rehab skills.
Our support staff includes 2 full-time LVTs and 1 part-time LVT, and we maintain a 2:1 support staff to DVM ratio so our doctors are never stretched thin. We'll be honest — like a lot of practices, we've seen some turnover on our technician team, but we're actively partnering with local veterinary technician programs to recruit their newest LVT graduates and keep building a strong, skilled team.
The Perks That Matter:
- Competitive salary — guaranteed base + monthly production bonus
- Sign-on bonus
- Relocation bonus up to $10,000 for out-of-state candidates
- Full benefits package, including:
- Health, dental, and vision insurance
- Short & long-term disability
- Life insurance
- 401(k) with generous company match
- Annual CE allowance
- Paid license & dues
- Employee discounts for your own furry friends
- Leadership growth & career development opportunities
- Generous PTO
- Early career? We offer a structured mentorship program
