Small Animal DVM | Roanoke, VA | AAHA Accredited | Fear Free Certified | Cat Friendly Certified

Hanging Rock Animal Hospital 1910 Loch Haven Dr. Roanoke, VA 24019 Small Animal Associate Veterinarian Practice Thoughtful Medicine in a Hospital Where Quality Always Comes First Join Hanging Rock Animal Hospital, a privately owned, AAHA Accredited, Fear Free Certified, and Cat Friendly Certified practice that has proudly served the Roanoke Valley for 30 years! Since opening in 1996, our mission has remained simple: provide exceptional, individualized care while creating a workplace where veterinarians and support staff genuinely enjoy practicing medicine together. What truly sets Hanging Rock apart isn't just our certifications, it's the way we practice. Every appointment is scheduled for 30 minutes, giving our doctors the time to thoroughly evaluate patients, educate clients, collaborate with teammates, and provide the level of care they believe every pet deserves. Our focus has never been on seeing the highest number of appointments, but on building lasting relationships while delivering outstanding medicine. As Hanging Rock Animal Hospital continues to grow, so does our commitment to maintaining the personalized, relationship-focused care that has defined our practice for 30 years. We're looking for an experienced veterinarian who shares that philosophy and is excited to grow alongside a collaborative, supportive team. Why Veterinarians Love Working Here -Practice Medicine Without Feeling Rushed: At Hanging Rock, every appointment is intentionally scheduled for 30 minutes. That extra time allows our doctors to educate clients, collaborate on cases, and practice medicine thoughtfully instead of constantly racing the clock. -Transparent Compensation Without Production Pressure: We believe doctors should understand how they're performing without worrying about every paycheck changing based on monthly production. You'll receive regular production reports, a predictable salary, and annual compensation reviews that recognize your long-term contribution to the practice. -A Collaborative Team That Enjoys Working Together: Our doctors regularly consult one another on challenging cases, lend a hand when someone falls behind, and genuinely enjoy practicing together. We value humility, kindness, and teamwork just as much as clinical excellence. -Healthy Culture & Work-Life Balance: We're hiring because we want to better serve our clients without burning out our team. Associates enjoy a four-day workweek, no emergency or after-hours responsibilities, and the support of a well-staffed hospital that has been preparing for another veterinarian to join the team. -Progressive Medicine in a Privately Owned Practice: From advanced dentistry and ultrasound to acupuncture, laser therapy, and integrative medicine, you'll have the opportunity to practice progressive medicine while maintaining the flexibility and autonomy that comes with an independently owned hospital. We also have an established exotic client base and would welcome a veterinarian interested in expanding that area of the practice, though it is by no means required. Compensation & Benefits -Starting salary of $120,000+ based on experience + 21% production. Salaries are reviewed annually using a transparent production model. -Monthly and quarterly production reports help you track your progress, but your paycheck remains a consistent salary rather than fluctuating each pay period. We believe in rewarding long-term growth—not penalizing temporary slow periods—and have a long history of supporting our associates through changing caseloads. -Medical (Employer pays 75% of monthly premium!), Dental & Vision Insurance -Life Insurance, Short-Term & Long-Term Disability Options Available -Simple IRA w/ 3% Employer Match (Available to contribute immediately) -Relocation assistance -3 Weeks PTO + 3 Paid Holidays -$2,000 Yearly Continuing Education Allowance -100% Clinic-Paid Professional Dues, Licensure & Liability Coverage (Including Fear Free & Cat Friendly Certification) -Generous Pet Care Discounts -Clinic Paid Liability Coverage -Annual Uniform Allowance -No After Hours, On-Call or Weekends!
