Description
Doc-Side Veterinary Medical Center in Baltimore, Maryland is hiring a veterinarian interested in a role focused on small animal medicine, soft tissue surgery, and dentistry to join our compassionate team. This is an ideal opportunity for a veterinarian who wants to advance their dental and oral surgery skills with hands-on training and support, and is interested in growth within a well-established, Fear Free™ certified practice. This veterinarian will split their time between seeing clients with a routinely scheduled day of procedural cases.
Located in the heart of historic Fells Point, our 4-doctor small animal and exotics practice has proudly served the Baltimore community since 1999. Doc-Side features 5 exam rooms, a dedicated surgery suite, and advanced diagnostic and dental equipment to support a heavy surgical caseload. We care for dogs, cats, and exotic pets and emphasize high-quality, client-centered medicine in a calm and supportive environment.
What You’ll Do as a Veterinarian:
- Deliver gold-standard care for preventive and wellness care
- Diagnose illness, provide medical treatment in a Fear Free™ environment, and offer advanced diagnostics - such as ultrasound and endoscopy - to support the needs of our acute and chronic disease patients
- Provide dental care and oral surgery, supported by intraoral radiology, experienced staff, and plenty of hands-on training
- Perform a wide range of general soft tissue surgeries: mass removals, foreign body surgeries, pyometra, cystotomy, etc.
- Collaborate with a skilled team of veterinarians with special interests in internal medicine, surgery, dentistry, and preventive care
- Advance your clinical acumen with the support of experienced doctors and access to in-clinic and offsite training opportunities
