Associate Veterinarian (DVM)

East Hill Veterinary Clinic is seeking an associate veterinarian and or regular relief veterinarian. My wife and I are the private sole owners of this long established small animal practice in a beautiful 8 year old 4800 square foot building in the heart of Mendocino County, Northern California, about 3 hours north of the Bay Area, 1.5 hours north of Santa Rosa, and about 1 hour inland from Fort Bragg. We are currently a two DVM practice, and we would be delighted to welcome a third. I am a 2004 Ross grad and my associate is a 2020 UCD grad.

Here’s the good stuff:

  • Non-corporate. We are set up as an “S corp” for tax purposes, but we alone own and manage the practice; there is no outside corporate entity that controls any aspect of the practice.
  • 4 day work week. We are open M-F 8:30am to 5:30pm and DVM’s work a 4 day work week.
  • No weekends!
  • No on-call or after hours emergencies. Closest ER is 80 miles away (Santa Rosa).
  • Adding a 3rd DVM will ensure that we always have 2+ doctors on each day which promotes a better work day and allows collaboration.
  • 30 minute appointments.
  • We observe (are closed and paid) for all federal holidays plus some holidays we just made up to ensure that there is a long weekend for everyone at least once a month.
  • Associate salary is $130,000 base, plus 20% of your production with no negative accrual.
  • We provide medical/dental by giving you $6,000 a year to choose a policy that fits your needs. We have great medical and dental care in this area and a local hospital and physicians with excellent reputations.
  • Matched 401-k
  • CE allowance tailored to meet your needs.
  • Unlimited pet veterinary discounts (our cost + 10%).
  • PTO: we will tailor your PTO to meet your needs and priorities; minimum 14 days (not 2 weeks) of PTO per year, more negotiable.
  • No non-compete or anything similar to a non-compete.
  • Care and product discounts would be offered to a short or long term relief veterinarian just the same as to an associate.
  • We do not accept walk-ins unless they are in extremis; but we do accept same day urgent/emergent fit-ins, when possible, after consulting with the receiving DVM
  • Buy in and buy out is negotiable.
  • Associate will have their own office which they can have painted and personalized as they choose. This also allows you to bring your dog/s to work with you and have them stay in your office.
  • We are committed to diversity and inclusion on every level
