Urgent Care Veterinarian – Mountain View Veterinary Hospital
Are you a veterinarian who enjoys the pace, variety, and clinical challenge of urgent care medicine? Do you like problem-solving in real time and having the support, tools, and team to handle cases in-house? Mountain View Veterinary Hospital in Lacey, Washington, is seeking an Urgent Care Veterinarian to join our well-established, 6-doctor, AAHA-accredited practice.
This role is primarily focused on urgent care, though we are absolutely open to candidates interested in a mix of General Practice and Urgent Care, depending on comfort level and professional interests. Whether you’re an experienced urgent care doctor or a GP looking to expand into more advanced, same-day cases with strong support, this is a great opportunity to practice meaningful medicine without unnecessary referrals.
Why This Role Is a Great Fit for You
Urgent Care with Real Clinical Depth
Our hospital has the capability to manage a wide range of urgent and emergent cases in-house, and we generally do not refer many cases out to ER. Our team is comfortable handling advanced procedures such as GDVs, splenectomies, C-sections, blood transfusions, and more. Case involvement is always based on the individual DVM’s comfort level, and collaboration is readily available.
Historically, we have treated many emergent cases that local ERs previously managed, and our team is well-equipped to continue doing so.
Common Urgent Care Cases You’ll See
Typical urgent care presentations include ear infections, vomiting, inappetence, lameness, diarrhea, skin conditions, ADRs, and toxicity cases, along with higher-acuity presentations when appropriate.
Strong Clinical Support
You’ll be supported by a highly experienced team, including 7 licensed veterinary technicians, allowing you to practice efficiently and confidently without feeling stretched thin.
Schedule & Coverage Expectations
- Four 10-hour shifts per week
- Sunday coverage is required
- Other days are negotiable
- Hospital hours are currently 8:00am–7:00pm on weekdays
- Weekend hours are expanding, with a goal of being open until 7:00pm on Saturdays and 6:00pm on Sundays, offering some flexibility as the schedule evolves
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys weekend medicine and appreciates having consistency and clarity in scheduling.
Why You’ll Love Working Here
Collaborative, Capable Team
Work alongside experienced doctors and technicians who value communication, teamwork, and mutual respect. You’ll never feel isolated when managing challenging cases.
High Standards of Medicine
As an AAHA-accredited hospital, we are committed to practicing high-quality, evidence-based medicine with a strong emphasis on client communication and patient care.
Mentorship & Growth
Whether you’re newer to urgent care or looking to continue refining your skills, collaboration and mentorship from seasoned clinicians is readily available.
Compensation & Benefits
- Competitive base salary with no negative accrual
- Monthly production bonus
- Sign-on bonus
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance with company HSA contribution
- Life and disability insurance
- 401(k) with company match
- Generous paid time off
- Robust CE allowance
- Reimbursement for license fees and membership dues
- Uniform allowance and more
