Veterinarian

Urgent Care Associate Veterinarian role at a 3-doctor urgent care and wellness hospital in Kirkland, WA, with a 30-hour week!

We are working on behalf of a privately owned, family-operated urgent care and wellness hospital in Kirkland, WA that is looking to welcome an Associate Veterinarian to its 3-doctor team.

This is a hybrid practice that blends same-day urgent care with the continuity and client relationships of a traditional family practice. That means a genuinely varied caseload of urgent care, wellness, internal medicine, surgery, and emergency cases, and the chance to follow your patients from diagnosis through recovery. The doctors here bring extensive emergency and surgical backgrounds and love to teach, which makes this a great place to sharpen your urgent care and surgical skills, whether you are an experienced DVM or still building confidence in those areas.

The hospital is modern and well equipped, with advanced diagnostics, digital imaging, a dedicated surgical suite, and comprehensive monitoring, plus strong relationships with local specialty and referral hospitals for when a case needs to go further. The schedule is a full-time 30-hour week, with shifts that start at 11am, so no early alarms. Compensation includes a competitive base salary plus production, and a sign-on bonus and relocation assistance may be available for qualified candidates. And the location is hard to beat.

Kirkland sits on the eastern shore of Lake Washington, minutes from Seattle, with waterfront parks, a lively downtown, great restaurants, and quick access to hiking, skiing, kayaking, and wine country.
