Requirements
We’re working with a well-established, four-doctor small animal and exotics clinic in Costa Mesa, CA, seeking a Medical Lead Veterinarian to guide clinical standards, mentor the DVM team, and help shape the continued growth of the hospital.

The hospital provides wellness and preventative care, diagnostics, urgent care, advanced care, surgical procedures, and services for a diverse caseload including dogs, cats, and exotic pets. You’ll be joining an experienced veterinary team that includes multiple DVMs and access to cardiology support, with a collaborative culture focused on clinical quality, client trust, and patient comfort.

As Medical Lead, you’ll work closely with the Practice Manager to support hospital performance, mentor associate veterinarians, lead doctor meetings, uphold medical standards, and help develop a positive, engaged team.
