Description
Practice medicine the way you imagined you would.
At Alpine Animal Hospital, we believe great veterinary medicine starts with supporting the people who provide it. We’re a privately owned small-animal practice in the beautiful mountains of western North Carolina, and we’re looking for an associate veterinarian who wants to enjoy coming to work each day, practice high-quality medicine, and become part of a genuinely supportive team.
Whether you’re a new graduate looking for mentorship or an experienced veterinarian seeking a better work-life balance, we’d love to meet you.
Why Alpine?

You’ll enjoy:
Three- or four-day work week
No after-hours or emergency duty
Experienced, team-oriented support staff
Digital radiography, in-house laboratory, surgical laser, and modern dental equipment
The opportunity to pursue surgery and dentistry if those are areas you enjoy—or focus on wellness and internal medicine if they’re not
A collaborative environment where questions and ideas are always welcome
A privately owned practice where decisions are made locally—not by a corporate office
