Urgent Care Veterinarian – Rochester Area, New York
About The Position
A growing veterinary hospital and urgent care practice in the Rochester area is seeking an experienced Urgent Care Veterinarian to join its team. This opportunity is ideal for a veterinarian who enjoys managing urgent and borderline emergency cases but wants to move away from overnight ER shifts. Both full-time and part-time schedules are available, with flexibility in structuring the schedule around the right doctor.

The caseload includes dogs, cats, and exotic pets, including reptiles, birds, and pocket pets.
