We are working on behalf of a long-standing, full-service small animal hospital in Portsmouth, VA that is looking to welcome an Associate Veterinarian to its collaborative doctor team. The practice has built a loyal client base over many years and is backed by an experienced support staff, so you can focus on practicing good medicine and building lasting relationships with clients and their pets. The hospital takes a progressive approach to veterinary medicine, with a caseload covering preventive and wellness care, diagnostics, soft tissue surgery, and ongoing case management. The culture is positive and team-first, and the doctors genuinely work through cases together rather than in isolation. Whether you are an experienced DVM looking for a supportive team or a recent graduate who wants real mentorship, this is a place where you can grow at a comfortable pace. Newer vets will have hands-on support from experienced colleagues, while seasoned associates will appreciate the collaborative setup and flexible scheduling. Outside of work, you will be in coastal Virginia, with beaches, waterfront communities, outdoor recreation, and great dining close by, plus easy access to Norfolk, Virginia Beach, and the wider Hampton Roads region.
