About The Job

Veterinarian Opportunity - Privately Owned, Doctor-Driven Medicine, True Team Partnership

We are the Best Beach Town in Michigan Imagine practicing high-quality, fulfilling veterinary medicine in a busy, thriving hospital - and then leaving work to head to the beach, the trails, or the water.

We are a privately owned, doctor-led practice located in what many locals call the best beach town in Michigan, and we are seeking a veterinarian who wants both an exceptional quality of life and the freedom to practice medicine the right way.

If you are an experienced veterinarian who still loves medicine - but is tired of feeling like "just another provider" - this is an opportunity to become a true partner in a hospital, not just another employee.

We are not owned by private equity.

We do not micromanage medicine.

We trust doctors to do what is best for their patients.

A Busy Practice Where Medicine Comes First

Skills

This is not a slow or limited caseload hospital. We are a busy general practice with diverse, engaging medicine that keeps skills sharp and days rewarding, including:

✔ Comprehensive general practice and preventive care

✔ A busy soft-tissue surgery schedule

✔ Active involvement in shelter medicine as Veterinarian of Record for the local shelter

✔ Select exotic animal cases for added clinical variety

✔ Strong anesthesia, monitoring, and patient safety protocols

You will build long-term relationships with clients, follow cases, and practice medicine with intention - not rush through appointments or feel pressured by non-medical decision-makers.

An Exceptional Licensed Team That Truly Supports You

One of the strongest advantages of this hospital is the depth, professionalism, and stability of the support staff.

Our doctors are supported by highly trained licensed veterinary nurses and certified veterinary assistants who are proactive, skilled, and deeply invested in patient outcomes.

This Is a Team That

  • Anticipates doctor needs
  • Respects clinical workflows
  • Maintains high medical standards
  • Allows doctors to focus on medicine, surgery, and client communication

You will never feel like you are carrying the hospital alone.

Modern Medicine, Fully Equipped

We invest in tools that allow doctors to practice confidently and efficiently:

  • Digital radiography and digital dental radiography
  • In-house IDEXX laboratory equipment
  • Ultrasound
  • Paperless medical records with AI-assisted medical notes
  • SmartFlow digital treatment boards
  • Modern surgical and anesthesia monitoring equipment

We believe quality medicine requires quality systems.

Compensation That Respects Your Experience

We value experience, leadership, and medical judgment.

Base salary: $120,000-$140,000

Production pay options available with strong earning potential

Compensation And Benefits Tailored To Experience And Long-term Goals

This is a role designed for long-term stability, not short-term staffing.

Doctor-Driven Scheduling - Built as a True Partnership

At our Hospital, scheduling is not something that is handed down to doctors - it is built in partnership between the doctors and the practice manager, with the shared goal of supporting both excellent patient care and a full personal life.

We strongly believe that great veterinarians should still be able to:

  • Travel
  • Attend important family events
  • Take meaningful vacations
  • Spend time with friends and loved ones
  • Maintain hobbies and personal goals

All without feeling guilty or worried about burdening their team.

What This Looks Like In Practice

  • Full-time or part-time options
  • 3-4 day workweeks when desired
  • Predictable, consistent days whenever possible
  • Adjustable shift lengths
  • Thoughtful planning around CE, family events, and travel
  • Open communication and real flexibility when life happens

Doctors formally review and provide input on their schedules every 6 weeks, and schedules are built in 90-day cycles.

This allows regular check-ins and proactive adjustments instead of burnout-driven changes.

This approach treats doctors as partners in building a sustainable practice, not just names filling appointment slots.

We Are Looking for a Long-Term Partner

We are not looking to fill a shift.

We are looking to welcome a veterinarian who wants to:

  • Be part of medical and practice decisions
  • Build long-term client relationships
  • Invest in a community and a team
  • Help shape the future of a growing private practice

This is a place to plant roots - professionally and personally.
