About the Role

Veterinarian (Associate or Chief of Staff) at St. Charles Animal Hospital – Waldorf, MD
 
$100k Sign-On Bonus | Flexible Schedules | Leadership & Mentorship Opportunities
 
Want to work in a hospital where you can practice top-tier medicine without the burnout?
At St. Charles Animal Hospital, we’ve spent 46 years building a trusted, high-performing practice rooted in quality care and strong relationships—with pets, clients, and each other.
Whether you’re a new grad seeking structured mentorship or an experienced DVM ready to lead, we’d love to welcome you to our close-knit, tech-forward team.
What Makes Us Stand Out
Human-Grade Equipment, AAHA-Accredited Care
  • In-house lab, digital/dental x-ray, Olympus Color Video Endoscope, ultrasound, laser therapy, and advanced surgical tools
  • Two dedicated surgery days per week (optional)
  • 30-minute appointments and a 2:1 tech-to-DVM ratio with skilled LVTs by your side
Growth-Driven Culture
  • Monthly CE with DC Academy (optional, but our team loves it!)
  • Personalized mentorship, leadership development, and even Chief of Staff training
  • Opportunity to revive exotic pet care—we’ve got the history and demand for it
Stability + Community
  • 3 DVMs (tenure: 12–16 years), including a board-certified Chief of Staff (ABVP, 51 years in practice!)
  • Staff holiday parties, crab feasts, team outings—we genuinely like each other
Associate or Leadership Path—You Choose
Whether you're:
  • A new graduate looking to grow in a nurturing, structured environment
  • An experienced doctor ready to step into leadership with guidance from our longtime Chief of Staff
    We’ll tailor your experience to match your goals.
Life in Waldorf
We get it—Waldorf isn’t on everyone’s radar. But hear us out:
  • Affordability + access: Lower cost of living than DC or Alexandria, with a quick 30–45 min commute to the city’s museums, concerts, dining, and culture
  • Relaxed lifestyle: Easy access to trails, parks, historic sites, and Southern Maryland Blue Crabs baseball
  • Space to breathe: No gridlock. No daily chaos. Just good living.
What’s in It for You
  • $100,000 Sign-On Bonus
  • Flexible 3- or 4-day schedule

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.

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.

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.
