We are seeking an experienced Small Animal Medical Director to join an established companion animal hospital on the Upper East Side of New York City. This permanent leadership opportunity is ideal for a veterinarian who wants to combine high-quality clinical medicine with mentorship, team development, and responsibility for maintaining strong standards of patient care. The role allows you to remain actively involved in small animal medicine while contributing to the clinical direction of the hospital. You will manage your own caseload while helping support consistent medical standards, thoughtful clinical decision-making, and the continued development of veterinary services. As Medical Director, you will work closely with associate veterinarians and support professionals, providing clinical guidance, mentoring colleagues, and contributing to a positive and collaborative hospital culture. The position is suited to a confident veterinarian who enjoys balancing hands-on medicine with broader leadership responsibilities. This position is ideal for an experienced veterinarian seeking strong earning potential, a permanent senior clinical role, meaningful leadership responsibility, and the opportunity to make a lasting impact on both patient care and veterinary team development within a Manhattan practice.
