Associate Veterinarian

Atlas Consultancy Group
San Diego, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 4/9/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/8/2026

We are working with a modern, fast-growing small animal hospital in Carmel Valley that is looking to welcome an Associate Veterinarian into its 2-DVM GP/Urgent Care team.


This is a full-time opportunity within a beautifully presented, newer-build hospital that combines routine primary care with same-day urgent care, giving doctors an interesting and varied caseload without the intensity of a full ER setting. The practice offers wellness visits, urgent care, dentistry, surgery, vaccinations, spay/neuter procedures, and health certificates, all within a clean, well-equipped setting designed to create a calm and compassionate client and patient experience.


The clinical team is led by an experienced Medical Director who holds certifications in veterinary acupuncture. She is joined by another Associate Veterinarian alongside a highly experienced Hospital Manager with over a decade in animal care. This creates a collaborative, well-supported environment where doctors are trusted with autonomy but still benefit from strong leadership and mentorship when needed.


This role would suit a veterinarian with at least 3 years of experience who is confident seeing cases solo and who enjoys the mix of GP and urgent care medicine. There is an opportunity here to play a meaningful role in the continued growth of the hospital, from client experience and staff development through to medical standards and workflow evolution. Compensation is highly competitive, with a base salary of $150,000–$200,000 plus production bonus, alongside a comprehensive benefits package.


Key Highlights:

  • 2-DVM small animal hospital offering both GP and urgent care services
  • Modern, state-of-the-art facility with a strong emphasis on high-quality medicine
  • Varied caseload including wellness, urgent care, surgery, dentistry, and preventive care
  • Led by an experienced Medical Director with advanced clinical and business training
  • Opportunity to practice with genuine autonomy while still having strong team support
  • Full-time schedule built around 10-hour shifts with rotating weekends
  • Salary from $130,000–$200,000 plus production bonus and relocation support available


About you:

  • DVM or equivalent degree that allows you to practice veterinary medicine in the US
  • You hold (or are eligible for) a licensure in California
  • 3 years of experience as a veterinarian, with the confidence to practice solo
  • Comfortable seeing urgent care cases alongside general practice appointments
  • Strong communication, clinical judgment, and surgical/dental proficiency


Benefits:

  • 401(k) with employer match
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • DEA and veterinary license reimbursement
  • Paid time off
  • Professional liability insurance, pet care discounts, and professional development support
