Job description

We are currently seeking an Ophthalmologist veterinarian to join our growing team! We have availability for full and part-time positions. We are the ONLY privately owned Emergency/Specialty Hospital of this size in the state of Connecticut, with locations in North Haven and Guilford. We are a Level 1 VECCS certified facility and we provide emergency veterinary care 24/7/365. Our emergency service sees a mix of both referrals and primary opinion cases, with a varied caseload that keeps things interesting!

Our doctors are supported by a robust team of specialists including internal medicine, anesthesia, critical care, cardiology, radiology, surgery, exotics, medical oncology, ophthalmology, interventional radiology, neurology, and sports medicine/rehabilitation. Our ICU in North Haven is staffed 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays, by 3 critical care specialists, allowing ER doctors to focus on primary receiving of emergency cases.

We have a commitment to mental health and work-life balance for all staff, reflected in flexible scheduling and generous PTO. ER clinicians also have no on call responsibilities and can enjoy a flexible 3-4 day work week. We have a great group of caring, team-oriented, positive individuals with a commitment to practicing the highest quality of medicine in a busy, referral setting. The emergency veterinarian will be responsible for providing care to both referral and walk in emergency cases- our North Haven location sees cats, dogs, and exotic species while Guilford sees only cats/dogs. The emergency veterinarian is responsible for triaging, diagnosing, treating, and hospitalizing or discharging emergency cases. Our emergency doctors work closely with our referring veterinarians to ensure continuity and high quality care for our mutual patients.
