Associate Veterinarian

We are working on behalf of a well-established, full-service small animal and exotics hospital in Fredericksburg, VA, that is looking to welcome a full-time or part-time Associate Veterinarian to its dedicated team.

The hospital has been caring for pets across Fredericksburg, Stafford, and King George for 20 years and has built a strong reputation for compassionate, high-quality medicine. The team takes a proactive approach, focusing on prevention and early detection, and builds real partnerships with clients based on trust, empathy, and clear communication. They are looking for a collaborative doctor who is confident in their clinical decision-making and enjoys supporting and mentoring the support team. Strong skills in preventive care, internal medicine, surgery, and dentistry are preferred, and any experience with exotic pets is a welcome bonus.

New graduates are warmly encouraged to apply, with a dedicated mentorship program and experienced peers on hand to help you grow at your own pace. The culture is genuinely fun and close-knit, with potlucks, bonfires, a Halloween costume contest, and a holiday party.

Fredericksburg offers small-town charm, rich history, and scenic parks, all just an hour south of Washington, DC. The package includes up to $50k in sign-on and retention bonuses, a great way to pay down student loans, plus relocation assistance, no negative accrual, and no non-compete agreement.
