Associate Veterinarian needed at an established multi-doctor hospital in Mary Esther, FL. We are working on behalf of a long-standing small animal hospital on Florida’s Emerald Coast that is looking to welcome an Associate Veterinarian to its team. The practice has served the Mary Esther community since 1986 and has built a loyal client base and a strong local reputation over that time. The caseload is broad small animal general practice, covering wellness and preventive care, testing and diagnostics, surgical procedures, advanced care, and urgent care for existing clients, so you will see genuine variety rather than the same few appointment types every day. Doctors here are trusted to lead their own cases and set the standard for their patients, with a supportive paraprofessional team handling the work around them. The hospital is independently run day to day but sits within a wider veterinary network, which means access to internal specialty consultations and a sounding board for complex cases when you want one. There is real investment in development, with a yearly CE allowance, paid CE days, structured mentorship, and leadership tracks for anyone who wants to move in that direction. This is a good fit for an experienced DVM or a confident newer graduate who wants autonomy without being left on their own. Mary Esther sits between Fort Walton Beach and Destin, minutes from white sand beaches and clear Gulf water, with boating, fishing, and year-round outdoor living on the doorstep and no state income tax.
