Join Our Community of Care

Our veterinarians are collaborators, leaders, and advocates for patient care. We provide the freedom to practice independently, with the support of a skilled team and a workplace culture that values quality medicine, mentorship, and work-life balance.

Our care team members are the backbone of everything we do. Here, technicians and support staff are trusted, empowered, and encouraged to work at the top of their skill set—from monitoring anesthesia to connecting with clients. We believe in celebrating strengths and growing careers.

As a clinic closely connected to Virginia Tech’s veterinary school, we’re committed to mentoring the next generation of animal care professionals. Veterinary students can join externship opportunities through our corporate network where students can experience real-world cases, work alongside experienced clinicians, and get a feel for life in general practice.
