About the Opportunity

We are looking to hire an Associate Veterinarian full-time or part-time as an additional doctor for the Ashby Animal Clinic team. This opening is not due to a departing DVM; it is due to our steady, continued growth. For the right applicant who sees Ashby Animal Clinic as their new home and who we see as a good fit with our team, we will be highly competitive regarding compensation. The full-time position is eligible for our standard benefits package, all the details of which we’d be excited to discuss with you!

We pay a guaranteed base salary with a ProSal bonus structure. Salary, based on experience, ranges from $110,000-$150,000 (plus bonus potential) for full-time. 

"It's a joy to come into work every day, it's like going to my second home."

About You

You are a practicing veterinarian, licensed, and in good standing with the State of Virginia! Additionally, you are committed to practicing high-quality evidence-based medicine/surgery and could consider yourself a lifetime learner. If you have specific clinical interests, that is wonderful; we are always looking to expand the spectrum of services the hospital can offer to its clients. Surgery not your favorite? There’s room for you here! If you love to cut, we welcome that, too. You are patient with pet owners, even the crotchety ones, and generally have a sunny disposition in the exam room and treatment areas. Our team is very collaborative, so if you naturally like to teach others, that is excellent too. In terms of your clinical experience, we are flexible: new grads are welcome as are seasoned veterans of the profession.

About the Team

The staff currently consists of our 4 Veterinarians, 7 Licensed Technicians, 4 Receptionists, and 3 awesome Veterinary Assistants! The team consistently praises the hard-working, family-like atmosphere in the building. Additionally, the high percentage of long-term team members ensures continuity and collaboration that few other practices can offer.

"Ashby practices high-quality medicine. Period. From its earliest days, the hospital has had a reputation for clinical excellence. That continues today with the way we practice and through the excellent relationships we have with the specialists who assist us with the more unique cases we can see."

Dr. Lisa May Moran
