About Our Hospital:

Airport Animal Hospital is eagerly seeking an enthusiastic, team oriented full-time DVM dedicated to providing high quality medical care to join our very busy, growing canine, feline, and exotics companion animal practice serving the Duluth & Hermantown area of northeastern Minnesota for over 40 years. 

We have a deep desire to find associate DVMs that are committed to a team-oriented approach, seeing and appreciating the genuine value of all team members who all work cooperatively and compassionately for the good of our patients, clients, and each other.  Treating each other with gratitude & respect can make a tremendous difference in mediating the day-to-day challenges and stresses we all face given the demands and pace of our busy and growing practice. 

We are somewhat informal and address each other on first name basis, while still expecting professionalism and respect demonstrated by all.  Reliability and high personal integrity are of course important.    Very relationship oriented – We operate using 30-and 60- min appointments intentionally offering ample client/DVM contact time to enable great discussion and complete understanding! 

Our current team includes 5 DVMs, 2 receptionists, 9 veterinary technicians and assistants, and a hospital administrator. Our support staff works in a collaborative and supportive way to help maximize the effectiveness and success of our team for the good of our patients, our clients, and each other.   Our regular hours of operation are 7:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m. Monday thru Friday. 

We have a very modern and well-equipped hospital including digital radiology, digital dental radiology, ultrasound, and photobiomodulation laser therapy unit.  We enjoy regularly working with board certified specialists in surgery and dermatology who help make the highest level of care and expertise readily available to our clients and patients.
