Job description
No overnights. No major holidays. Vet-owned. People-first.
Be part of building something from the ground up.
AcutePet Urgent Care is opening in Cincinnati’s West Side in White Oak, OH this August - and we’re intentionally building a founding team of veterinarians who want more than just a job.
This area has strong GP relationships, loyal pet-owning families, and limited urgent/emergent support nearby. Our White Oak hospital is being designed to give pets timely care, give GP teams a trusted partner, and give veterinarians a sustainable way to practice high-quality urgent care medicine.
If you want ER-style case variety without overnight ER burnout — and you’d like a voice in shaping workflows, culture, and standards from day one — this is worth a conversation.
This isn’t stepping into an established hospital with fixed systems and legacy culture. It’s helping define one.
If You’ve ever wanted:
A voice in how a hospital operates
Input on workflows and team culture
The chance to shape urgent care medicine in a growing community
High-quality medicine without overnight ER burnout
This is that opportunity.
Why White Oak?
Cincinnati’s West Side has strong primary care relationships, loyal pet-owning families, and a clear need for accessible urgent/emergent support. Our White Oak hospital is being built to give GP teams a trusted place to send cases that need same-day diagnostics, stabilization, and treatment — without defaulting every patient to a full-service ER.
You’ll see cases like:
Lacerations and minor trauma
GI obstruction workups
Toxin ingestions
Acute vomiting/diarrhea
Urgent diagnostics and stabilization
All without overnights or major holidays.
Who This Role Is Built For
This opportunity works beautifully for:
Emergency veterinarians ready to step away from overnight intensity while still practicing high-level medicine
Experienced GPs who want to expand diagnostic confidence in a supportive environment
Newer doctors eager for hands-on mentorship and structured growth in urgent care

You’ll practice medicine in an environment that values:
