More about the Role
Associate Veterinarian (DVM)
Bear Creek Animal Hospital, Wentzville, MO
Compensation: $110,000 to $140,000 annually
Bear Creek Animal Hospital is building out our team, and we're looking for an Associate DVM to grow with us. Whether you're board-certified in a specialty, working toward one, or simply a GP with a special interest you want room to develop, we want to talk to you.
We've invested in a modern, well-equipped hospital, including a fully equipped surgical suite capable of supporting orthopedic procedures and advanced surgery, because we believe doctors do their best work when they have the right tools from day one. As we grow our caseload, you'll have real input into shaping the kind of medicine we practice here.
Have a specialty license or a special interest?
We want to hear from you, whether that's orthopedics, urgent care, dermatology, reproduction, or another focused area of medicine. You don't need the extra letters after your name to bring a specialty focus to our team. You just need the interest and the drive to build it. This is an especially good time to join: we're actively looking to grow case volume in these focused areas, which means you'd help shape that service line from the ground up, with our support in mentorship, equipment access, and case development.
Prefer general practice?
You'll have the space and support to build clinical depth over time, without being buried in back-to-back appointments. You'll work alongside experienced doctors invested in your growth.
Whatever your path, boarded specialist, DVM working toward one, GP with a focused interest, or GP looking to grow, Bear Creek Animal Hospital offers the chance to build a career around your own professional goals, with a hospital that's investing in where it's headed, not just where it's been.
