About The Position

SmartVet is looking for a Managing DVM who is ready to lead, inspire, and elevate a truly unique model of veterinary care. Located in the heart of Normal, Illinois, our practice blends the best of both worlds—mobile veterinary services and a fully equipped, state-of-the-art hospital—to deliver care that is as flexible as it is high-quality. Since 2011, SmartVet has been redefining how veterinary medicine is delivered in the Bloomington–Normal community. As the only practice in the region offering in-home veterinary care alongside a full-service hospital, we provide comprehensive services including wellness care, surgery, dentistry, digital radiography, ultrasound, and in-house diagnostics. We also support advanced therapeutic care through chiropractic and laser therapy. Our commitment to patient comfort is unwavering—our entire team is both Fear Free Certified and Cat-Friendly Certified, ensuring a low-stress, compassionate experience for every pet we serve. You’ll be leading a collaborative, highly trained, and genuinely supportive team that takes pride in delivering exceptional medicine. Our culture is rooted in mentorship, open communication, and continuous growth. Whether it’s supporting newer doctors, encouraging skill development, or working together on complex cases, this is a team that shows up for one another—and for their patients—every single day. As Managing DVM, you’ll play a key leadership role in shaping both the clinical and cultural direction of the practice. You’ll mentor and develop fellow veterinarians, partner with leadership on hospital operations, and ensure the highest standards of medicine and client care are upheld. This is the perfect opportunity for a veterinarian who enjoys leading from the front, values collaboration, and is excited by innovation in care delivery.
