Medical Director – Urgent Care – Henrietta, NY ($50k Sign-On Bonus!) 🐾

We are working on behalf of a modern, full-service veterinary hospital and urgent care centre in Henrietta, NY, that is looking to welcome a Medical Director to lead its urgent care service. This is a well-established, community-focused practice that offers both general practice and urgent care to a diverse patient base, including dogs, cats, and exotic species. The hospital has built an outstanding reputation locally, and is proud to be the only urgent care provider in the Rochester area that specialises in exotic pets. The team works closely with local shelters, rescues, and pet stores, and has become an integral part of the surrounding community since its founding. A strong online presence and loyal client base reflect the quality of care delivered every day. As Medical Director, you will shape the medical direction of the hospital while continuing to practise hands-on medicine, surgery, and dentistry. The practice operates on an appointment-based model, and doctors are not expected to stay beyond their scheduled shifts — genuine work–life balance is a priority here. You’ll be supported by a strong team, including licensed technicians, veterinary assistants, and client service representatives, with a 2:1 staff-to-doctor ratio that ensures you have the resources to deliver excellent care. This is also an opportunity to explore a genuine partnership pathway. The hospital is part of a collaborative group where veterinarians can co-own practices, giving you a stake in the business you help to build. If you’re an experienced DVM ready to step into a leadership role in a close-knit, team-oriented environment that values compassion, integrity, and professional growth — this is a role worth exploring.
