Veterinarian

Associate Veterinarian

Chicagoland (Private Practice) | Big-City Access, Zero Big-City Burnout

All the upside of Chicago. None of the daily headaches.

A well-established, privately owned small animal practice in the South/Southeast Chicago suburbs is adding an Associate Veterinarian who wants clinical freedom, real mentorship, and room to grow—without corporate quotas or downtown gridlock.

Why This Practice Hits Different

• Private practice — medicine comes before metrics
• True mentorship from experienced DVMs and certified technicians
• Integrated medicine options (Western, integrative, Eastern)
• Board-Certified Cardiologist on-site for collaboration and advanced cases
• Modern, AAHA-level facility designed with doctor input—not accountants

The Role (Built for Sustainability)

• Full-time or part-time
• Monday–Friday core schedule (weekends optional)
• Telemedicine consults available
• Walk into a full caseload—appointments already booking out
• Salary $130K+ with additional earning potential
• Production or straight salary—your choice
• Generous sign-on and relocation support
• Partnership/ownership track available

You’re not plugging a hole. You’re stepping into a long-term plan.

Location Without the Headache

This is Chicago proximity done right:

• Shorter commutes, easier parking, quieter nights
• Suburban neighborhoods, good schools, space to breathe
• Quick access to Chicago’s food scene, sports, lakefront, concerts, and airports
• Cost of living that doesn’t eat your paycheck

Close enough to enjoy the city. Far enough to enjoy your life.

Who Thrives Here

• Veterinarians who value collaboration and mentorship
• Confident generalists—or those ready to level up
• Clinicians who enjoy client education and case ownership
• Anyone tired of corporate medicine but not ready to leave major-metro access behind

If you want Chicago energy without Chicago exhaustion, this is the move.

Confidential conversation. No pressure.

Big-city medicine. Small-town sanity. Let’s talk.
