Help Build the Neighborhood Animal Health Team Phoenix Deserves

At GoodNeighbor Animal Hospital, we're building a neighborhood-centered animal hospital designed around a simple belief: when veterinary teams thrive, pets and families receive better care.

As we prepare to open our first Phoenix hospital in March 2027, we're seeking a doctor who wants to help shape a culture, build lasting client relationships, practice excellent medicine, and create a hospital that becomes a trusted part of the community.

This opportunity is ideal for veterinarians who believe strong medicine and a great life outside of work should exist together.

Why This Opportunity Is Different

As a founding veterinarian, you'll have the opportunity to:

• Help establish medical protocols and standards

• Influence workflows and hospital operations

• Shape the client experience from day one

• Build a collaborative, positive hospital culture

• Develop long-term relationships with patients and families

• Grow alongside a rapidly expanding organization

Your ideas, voice, and leadership will directly impact the future of the hospital.

The Role

As an Associate Veterinarian, you will:

• Deliver comprehensive medical, surgical, and preventive care

• Practice evidence-based medicine with strong diagnostic support

• Perform routine soft tissue surgeries and dentistry procedures

• Develop treatment plans tailored to each patient's needs

• Educate clients through clear, compassionate communication

• Collaborate with a skilled support team and fellow clinicians

• Contribute to an environment focused on learning, accountability, and continuous improvement

• Build meaningful relationships with Phoenix pet families

Whether you're an experienced doctor seeking your next home or an early-career veterinarian looking for strong mentorship and support, we'd love to talk with you. GoodNeighbor was intentionally designed to support veterinarians throughout every stage of their career journey.

• 4 clinical days per week
