About The Position

Crete Veterinary Clinic is seeking a Mixed Animal Associate Veterinarian to provide care for companion animals and livestock in Crete, Nebraska, about 25 miles southwest of Lincoln. The caseload is approximately 50% large animal and 50% small animal. The clinic has served southeastern Nebraska for nearly 40 years and provides care for pets, horses, livestock, and the families who depend on them. Its collaborative veterinary team and strong technician support allow doctors to focus on patient care and develop individual interests.
