Medical Director

A unique opportunity has arisen for an experienced veterinarian to take on a Medical Director position and lead the relaunch of a long-standing small animal practice in Los Angeles, CA. This is not your typical clinical role; this is a chance to rebuild, shape, and grow a hospital from the ground up, with full autonomy and strong financial backing.

This well-established GP hospital has served its local community for decades as a high-volume, accessible care provider. Following a period of closure in late 2024, the ownership group is now investing significantly into reopening the clinic, making this an exciting opportunity for a driven and entrepreneurial veterinarian to take the lead. You’ll play a pivotal role in designing workflows, influencing the clinic setup, and establishing the standard of care from day one.

Initially, you’ll be supported by a small, newly built team (CSR + technicians), with plans to grow as the caseload develops. The practice will focus on dogs and cats, offering a mix of preventative care, routine surgery, and high-volume medicine tailored to a community that values practical, flexible treatment options. This role requires a confident, experienced clinician who is comfortable working independently, enjoys surgery, and is motivated to build both a team and a client base.

With a flexible schedule (including options for a 4-day week / 32 hours), strong earning potential ($200,000–$235,000), and substantial sign-on and retention bonuses, this role is ideal for someone looking to step into leadership and make a real impact.

Key Highlights:

• Opportunity to lead the full relaunch of an established GP hospital
• True clinical and operational autonomy from day one
• High earning potential with $225,000–$235,000 base salary
• Up to $100,000 in sign-on, retention, and relocation bonuses
• Flexible scheduling (including 4-day / 32-hour work week)
• Backing from a larger group with resources for growth and investment
• Ideal for a vet who enjoys high-volume, community-focused medicine

About you:

• DVM or equivalent degree that allows you to practice veterinary medicine in the US
• You hold (or are eligible for) a license in California
• 3+ years of clinical experience with strong surgical confidence
• Comfortable working as a sole DVM and leading a small team
• Entrepreneurial mindset with a desire to build and grow a practice

Benefits:

• Base salary between $225,000-$235,000
• Signing, retention, and relocation bonuses up to $100,000
