Associate Veterinarian - Ladson Veterinary Hospital

The Opportunity:

Ladson Veterinary Hospital in Ladson, SC is seeking an additional Associate Veterinarian to join our team. We are a full-service animal hospital that welcomes both emergency treatment cases as well as pet patients in need of routine medical, surgical, and dental care. Our hospital aims to create a calm and refreshing environment, not only for our patients and clients, but for our colleagues as well. We are a team that values practice culture and gives tokens of appreciation throughout the year – whether that be an encouraging word from a coworker or team building activities outside of the hospital. We also provide an environment of mentorship, encouraging our team to learn as much as possible to enhance veterinary knowledge and ultimately the care we’re able to provide our patients.

Dr. Virginia Brown, our founder, has over 30 years of experience and founded Ladson Veterinary Hospital after owning and practicing at her first hospital, Goose Creek Veterinary Clinic, for over 20 years. 

Our ideal teammate will share our mission and strive for the same goals by providing the highest quality care they can with at least 2 years of experience in the field. Our hours are Monday - Friday 8am to 5:30pm, Saturday 8am - 12, closed on Sundays, and the position asks for availability at least 4 weekdays and every other Saturday. We are looking for an associate that can provide routine pet care such as examinations, vaccinations, and preventative care, as well as surgical and dental proficiency.  

Why Ladson Veterinary Hospital? 

Ladson Veterinary Hospital is stocked with everything that’s needed for our doctors to practice best-in-class medicine. The hospital features a full surgical suite with digital radiology. We offer our patients the best standard of care for dental care complete with dental radiography. We offer in-house ultrasound, as well as in-house lab and pharmacy.
