What are the responsibilities and job description for the Veterinarian position at Freddie's Place Animal Hospital and Urgent Care?

Freddie’s Place Animal Hospital Urgent Care is looking to add a full-time and/or part-time veterinarian! Freddie’s Place is a privately owned Hybrid Hospital in Vista, CA (north county San Diego, CA). We opened in January 2023 with the vision of providing gold standard care at a fair cost; we are financially ethical across the board, with a goal of ultimately helping animals and their pet parents. After witnessing the progressive take-over by corporate companies, massive price increases, and month long waitlists causing an overloading of Emergency hospitals, it became apparent that there was a need for thinking "outside the box". Therefore, we do things a little differently in an effort to step outside the box such as operating on "walk-in" basis for cases ranging from routine to more emergent. We're a modern hospital with a "family vet" feel. We strive to provide comfort for our customers and their pets, as well as create a supportive environment for employees to collaborate, learn, and practice individualized medicine. Our hospital team enjoys giving back to our local community through various avenues; most recently we had a float in the local holiday parade!

We're excited to add collaborative, progressive, kind, creative and positive humans to our team. Benefits include the usuals; where we stand out is our "not so usuals": Flex CE (ie: additional paid CE with approval), PLUMBS, VIN, concert VIP box seats at several major SoCal venues, 1 week stay at the Big Bear Cabin, AMAZING company gatherings (this year we've reserved a private HornBlower cruise! woah!), 1 week use of a 26' Class C RV. We have all the diagnostic/therapeutic toys too: Mindray ultrasound (x2); BovieDerm Cautery; Radiographs ( dental rads) w/ VetsChoice reads; Imagyst cytology; IH labs zoetis and antech ref labs; Duo Class IV laser; PRP; Endoscope; electro-acupuncture; 5 o2 cages; and we're currently overhauling an ambulance for "animal transport" and mobile care...we're always thinking outside the box and keeping the "red ball rolling".
