Job Description 24-hour specialty and emergency hospital in Berkeley, California is hiring an Urgent Care Veterinarian.

The hospital runs two buildings, three surgical suites, a GE CT scanner, full in-house lab, digital radiology, and 13 exam rooms. The urgent care caseload is high-volume but oriented toward quick resolution, which means you are moving cases efficiently without the sustained intensity of a full ER shift. You will have real-time access to board-certified specialists in surgery, oncology, radiology, ophthalmology, exotic animal care, and internal medicine when you need a consult. The emergency department runs 24/7 with internship-trained DVMs and a medical director on site. The nursing team is experienced and engaged, which matters on busy days. Leadership here is described by the team as communicative and present, not hands-off.

With a loyal and invested client base, the standard for communication and medicine is high, clients take recommendations seriously and follow through on work ups and treatment plans.
