Veterinary Career Center

Does an opportunity to practice independent, progressive medicine while working with a skilled and caring staff interest you? If so, consider joining our team of doctors and staff dedicated to clinical excellence and compassionate care. We work hard to make the client and patient experience the best it can be while recognizing that we can still have fun at work!

We are located in the beautiful Finger Lakes region of New York State, known for its breathtaking scenery, outdoor activities, wineries, craft breweries, and numerous other attractions. Both alpine and Nordic skiing are close by. Some of the best hiking and camping in the nation are within 20 minutes of the practice. All forms of water sports are readily available (we are just a block from one of the Finger Lakes). For the horse lover, our area is rich in equestrian history and pursuits. There are at least eight Universities within a 30-minute drive, with SUNY Geneseo a mere 10 minutes away, providing many opportunities for concerts, festivals, and other cultural activities. For the “city feel,” Rochester is 30 minutes north. Both the city of Buffalo (go Bills!) and scenic Niagara Falls are just a short two-hour drive away. For a quick and fun weekend getaway, you can visit Toronto, Canada, just four hours north.

We are seeking an energetic, empathetic veterinarian for a team-oriented community veterinary practice where the highest standard of medicine is practiced. The candidate must be friendly,  outgoing, and have a positive attitude, as well as a professional demeanor and appearance.

When asked what they like about the practice, most staff members will tell you we are a family.
