Associate Veterinarian

Compassion Animal Hospital is looking for an energetic, caring doctor to join our 5+ doctor multiple location, small animal practice. New Grads welcome as we enjoy mentoring newer veterinarians! Our patients are mostly dogs and cats, but some of our doctors do see exotics as well. We encourage our doctors to pursue cases that they enjoy and explore cases they are passionate about. Our practices are well-equipped AND well-staffed. We value teamwork, good communication and collaboration. We enjoy providing support, training, and mentorship. We highly value preventative care and proactively educate our clients about their pet's health care needs.

Some of our doctors LOVE surgery!!!! Beyond routine spays and neuters, they do fracture repairs, ocular procedures, FHOs, suture CCL repairs (in small patients), MPL repairs, perineal hernia repairs, and more. If you have an interest in surgery, we are willing to teach you! We stay ahead of the curve by using technology to our advantage to best serve our clients and make our jobs easier. Our records are cloud based, and you can access the schedule, write records, or review radiographs from anywhere. 

Work/Life balance is important to us. We are looking for someone who shares our philosophy of practicing high quality medicine, communicates well with clients, and recognizes the importance of self-care. We are fortunate to have a career in such caring and compassionate profession, and we don't believe in pushing ourselves to burn out. We strive to keep work fun and fresh!

Our practices are located in beautiful northern Virginia within an easy drive of Washington DC and other historical points of interest. For the outdoor enthusiast, make the short trip to Shenandoah National Park for hiking, canoeing, fresh air, and beautiful scenery.  Visit local vineyards, craft breweries and enjoy fine dining too.  Get all the perks of being near the city without suffering through the traffic of living in one!
