Veterinarian-Walk-In Urgent Care: No Routine, Easy Schedule, Minor Sx

Do you like "Emergency" work but hate the hours, stress and major surgery?

Come join the PriorityVet Team in Toms River, NJ as a:

True URGENT CARE Veterinarian

Full or Part-time opportunities available.

We are NOT your typical Emergency/"Urgent Care" facility with long wait times, big bills, long hours, major surgery and critical cases to manage while seeing patients!

We have simplified the concept, reduced the fees and streamlined the process!

What we do:

• Open daily from 4PM to 12AM, *excluding holidays*
• Only treat dogs and cats
• Cater to pet owners presenting with cases that are not truly emergent
• Pets are largely treated on an outpatient basis
• Work-ups are always encouraged
• Short-term admissions for diagnostics, stabilization, brief treatment and short anesthetic procedures (minor wounds/abscesses, unblocking)
• Life-saving emergent interventions* when necessary*
• Estimates are generated and presented by technicians prior to all care
• We refer pets requiring major surgery or continued care to a 24-hour care facility 15-20 minutes away.
• Pets are typically directed back to their family veterinarian for follow-up care
• Follow-up calls are made the next day.

What we don't do:

• We don't schedule appointments
• We don't triage or give medical advice over the phone
• We don't hospitalize overnight
• We don't do major surgery
• We don't do preventative care
• We don't do exotics, wildlife, rescues or strays

How we do it:

• Our hours allow for the recruitment of well-qualified staff (not just those willing to work the overnights and holidays like in typical ER)
• We are fully equipped - electric lift tables, in-house laboratory, digital radiography, Tonopen, ultrasound, EKG-defibrillator, blood pressure, pulse-oximetry and cloud-based practice software.
• We incorporate FearFree techniques into our practice to foster less stressful visits for all involved.
• We electronically forward reports and diagnostics to the rDVM the same day.
• Associates are supported by a minimum of 4 staff members
• Ready access to the owner for case collaboration when needed.

Who are we looking for:

• An optimistic, gregarious, energetic, Associate Veterinarian, Full or Part-Time
• Minimum of 3 years of general practice experience
• Solid General Medicine skills a must
• Emergency experience is not required but aptitude in triage and stabilization of critically ill or traumatized pets is desirable.
• The successful candidate will demonstrate a willingness to foster and promote the values of PriorityVet: Respect • Compassion • Accountability • Professionalism • Fun • Excellence • Teamwork

Compensation:

• Up to $100/hour
• Health Insurance with 25 hours or more/week
• Sick/Vacation Time, License and CE for Full-Time

Please submit a letter of intent, CV and 2 professional/1 personal references to the practice owner, Steven Cudia, VMD, Diplomate ABVP (Canine/Feline) via e-mail or call 732-267-5177 for more information.
