Associate Veterinarian

Come join the East Valley Animal Clinic family!  We are seeking a motivated, compassionate DVM to join our practice.  Our ideal candidate will work 4 days per week, but will consider those interested in working fewer days, as we have an amazing group of relief doctors too.  We are an AAHA-accredited dog and cat-exclusive companion animal practice in Apple Valley Minnesota, a suburb south of the Twin Cities.  Our clinic has been a part of the community since 1991, and we have a terrific and expanding clientele seeking top-notch care for their furry family members.  We are a clinic that is very focused on offering individualized care for each patient. Our clients consistently comment that we provide compassionate care for their pets.

Why should you choose East Valley Animal Clinic?

Our current team consists of 5 DVMs, 9 CVTs, 3 veterinary assistant, a groomer and 3 CSRs.  Our technicians average 10 years of experience at our clinic. We are a well-equipped veterinary clinic with DR radiology, digital dental radiology, and in-house Idexx lab equipment including CBC and chemistry analyzer. Our current services offered include wellness and preventative care, general surgery, and dentistry. We collaborate with board certified surgeons for orthopedic and complex surgical procedures. Our staff is a close-knit team. We enjoy each other's friendship and often get together outside of work. We work to maintain a culture that supports our team, because without a motivated, engaged team, we can't care for our patients. We want our staff to have a life outside of the clinic.
