Veterinarian - Urgent Care

Veterinarian – Urgent CareFull-Time | Part-Time | Relief Evening & Weekend Scheduling | Springfield, OhioWe've been open since May, and our community response has exceeded our expectations. As our caseload continues to grow, we're looking to add another veterinarian to help meet demand while maintaining the level of patient care, teamwork, and work-life balance that our team values. The Pet Clinic of Springfield Urgent Care is the first dedicated veterinary urgent care hospital serving Springfield and the surrounding communities. Our purpose is simple: provide high-quality urgent care while supporting local primary care veterinarians. Our doctors evaluate and treat urgent, non-life-threatening conditions, stabilize patients when necessary, and work collaboratively with area general practices and emergency hospitals to ensure pets receive the right care at the right time. Why You'll Love Practicing HereNo overnight shifts Evening and weekend-focused schedule Rotating weekend opportunities as our team grows Flexible scheduling designed around both patient demand and team availability True urgent care model - not full emergency medicine Modern, well-equipped facility Skilled, supportive RVTs and veterinary assistants Collaborative relationships with local veterinary practices Opportunity to influence a growing hospital without the uncertainty of a brand-new startup Meaningful work that directly improves access to veterinary care in our community If you're looking for challenging medicine without overnight emergency shifts, urgent care offers an unusual combination of clinical variety, schedule flexibility, and daytime availability. Our Schedule Our urgent care currently operates primarily during afternoon and evening hours, with weekend coverage built into our schedule. As our team grows, we are actively working toward a more flexible rotating schedule that allows our doctors to share evening and weekend coverage. This may include expanding operating hours to additional days, including Thursdays, as well as potentially opening earlier in the afternoon. Our current and anticipated scheduling needs may include shifts beginning as early as 2:00 PM and extending into the evening. Exact hours will depend on patient demand, staffing, and team availability. We are looking for veterinarians who are comfortable with some flexibility in their days and hours and who are interested in helping us build a sustainable rotating schedule. Our goal is to provide consistency and advance scheduling while allowing our team to share weekend and evening coverage rather than relying on the same individuals every weekend. Whether you're looking for a consistent part-time schedule, full-time hours, or occasional relief work, we'd love to discuss what may work for you.

You'll be joining an established, functioning hospital with an existing caseload, support team, equipment, and workflows—while still having the opportunity to help shape where we go next.

Whether you're an experienced urgent care or emergency clinician or a general practitioner looking for a refreshing change of pace, we'd love to talk with you.

Most importantly, you'll become part of a veterinary community that values collaboration. Our hospital exists to support local primary care practices by providing after-hours urgent care, helping pets receive timely treatment while allowing family veterinarians to continue providing the routine care they do best. If you're looking for an opportunity to practice excellent medicine, work alongside a supportive team, and help shape the future of veterinary urgent care in our region, we'd love to hear from you.
