You’ve put in 7 years. You’re an exceptional diagnostician, a natural mentor, and a doctor who lights up the room. You want a role where the systems protect your time, your leadership actually matters, and you walk out on time—every day. That role exists. It’s here.
Who We Are
Canobie Lake Veterinary Hospital is an 18-year AAHA-accredited practice and 2024 AAHA Practice of the Year.

You will also have complete medical autonomy aligned with AAHA standard of care as a guide. She’s ready to hand the reins to the right person.
