More about the Role

Rock Island Animal Hospital is eager to add another veterinarian to our wonderful team!

 

We are a well-established, AAHA accredited, small animal

 

practice that specializes in walk in appointments that regular GPs are not able to see. Though dogs and cats make up a vast majority of our caseload, we do see the occasional pocket pet as well. Our two full-time DVMs are skillful and experienced in emergencies, internal medicine, soft tissue surgery, dentistry, and orthopedics. They are backed by an equally skilled and experienced support team of 6 CVTs and 6-8 assistants.

 

Our practice is equipped with all the tools any doctor needs to succeed. We welcome DVMs of all experience levels and would happily provide a new graduate any needed mentorship. Our hospital utilizes a unique and impactful mentorship program that has provided upward trends in confidence, satisfaction, and production for all that have participated. We want you to have the adequate work-life balance you need, and have no on-call or weekend responsibilities!
