Job Details
Practice:
Monmouth Small Animal Hospital began in 1989. In 2007, we found that our ever-growing business needed to be expanded, so we had a major remodel done. We doubled the size of our practice, including 3 exam rooms, a large lobby, and a surgery suite with an attached treatment/pre-op/post-op room.
Today, our full-service veterinary team cares for a range of small animals, including dogs, cats, birds, and beyond.
Position Purpose:
Lead With Passion. Grow With Purpose.
Our well-established practice is excited to welcome a Managing Veterinarian to our team. We are looking for a leader ready to inspire, innovate, and guide the next generation of veterinary excellence.
At our clinic, we’re deeply committed to professional growth. Whether you’re passionate about surgery, reproduction, dentistry, or client communication, you’ll find endless opportunities to refine your skills and expand your expertise.
We maintain a diverse and exciting caseload, including soft tissue and orthopedic surgeries, C-sections, and a wide variety of medical cases. As one of the only reproductive specialists in the area, we take pride in offering advanced theriogenology services to our clients.
Our hospital is fully equipped with digital radiography, ultrasound, and laser therapy, and we’re always open to adding new tools or technology to support your professional goals.
