About the Role

We’re growing—and we’re ready to add a surgeon to our thriving, progressive practice.
Best Friends Animal Hospital is seeking a Veterinary Surgeon to join our expanding, seven-doctor (and growing) team. This is an outstanding opportunity for a surgeon who wants to practice high-level medicine with advanced technology, exceptional clinical support, and real input into the future growth of the hospital.
 
A Surgical Playground (and It’s Still Growing)
Our AAHA-accredited hospital is fully equipped to support a wide range of advanced surgical procedures with dedicated, purpose-built spaces and cutting-edge technology, including:
  • Two dedicated surgery suites
  • 32-slice helical CT
  • Ultrasound
  • Voyant Vessel Sealer & Electrocautery
  • Companion CRT system for PRP processing
  • Endoscopy
  • Fully equipped rehab room with an underwater treadmill
We regularly perform orthopedic procedures (TPLO, fracture repair, FHO), neurosurgery (hemilaminectomy), and advanced soft tissue surgeries, including cholecystectomy, median sternotomy, thoracotomy, and liver lobe resection.
Looking ahead, we aspire to add MRI capabilities and expand our STORZ endoscopy equipment to support laparoscopic surgery, thoracoscopy, arthroscopy, and beyond—guided by surgeon preferences and interests. If you have a vision for where you want your surgical practice to go, we want to help you build it.
Support That Lets You Practice at the Top of Your License
  • Fully staffed with experienced doctors and a highly skilled technical team
  • 24/7 doctor and support staff coverage
  • Doctor staffing until midnight, with plans to move to full 24/7 doctor coverage
  • No weekend or on-call requirements
    (Though the ability to perform an emergent weekend surgery, if warranted, would be beneficial)
You’ll never be operating in a vacuum—our collaborative environment ensures you have the people, resources, and backup you need to focus on excellent patient care.
Schedule Built for Real Work-Life Balance
  • 3- or 4-day workweek, based on surgeon preference
    (3 × 12-hour shifts or 4 × 10-hour shifts)
  • Consistent scheduling with flexibility built in
  • A leadership team that genuinely values sustainability and longevity in this profession
A Little About Us

We believe that to care for our patients, we must also care for each other. Our culture is supportive, fun, and collaborative—focused on practicing excellent medicine while fostering camaraderie, growth, and balance.

Benefits

Makenzie C.

Tech, Rockwall, TX

I would highly recommend anyone to work for a Vetcor clinic because of all the available resources they offer to their employees! These resources vary from continuing education to the importance of mental health and not burning out. Stonebridge has been one of the best places I have worked and has done nothing but help me pursue my goal of becoming an LVT.

Valerie V.

DVM, St. Charles, IL

There are programs including VetLife Days and Lend-a-Hand that allow you to spend time at other clinics. I have met some wonderful colleagues this way and have also been able to expand my leadership skills within Vetcor. I actually learned that I love teaching and supporting other veterinarians, especially new graduates. I love soft tissue surgery, so to be able to pass on that knowledge and skill set to new grads, giving them the confidence and skills they need to excel, has been very rewarding. It has been an amazing journey with Vetcor so far and I am excited to continue to be part of this amazing group.

Dr. Jolene O.

The mentorship and advice from the Vetcor Chief of Staff Advisors have helped me become a better veterinarian and surgeon. They have filled me with confidence in order to become a better leader. Vetcor has been a great corporation to work for.
