Competitive Pay, Great Work/Life Balance, Diverse Caseload and Fun Atmosphere!

Warner Avenue Animal Hospital is a private, family-owned veterinary group in coastal Southern California, located right off the 405 freeway, bordering Costa Mesa and Huntington Beach. We have just remodeled our practice into an 8,500 sq. ft. state-of-the-art facility, and are currently seeking to add the right veterinarian to our cohesive team.

We pride ourselves on the quality of medicine we practice, and utilize top-of-the-line veterinary equipment, complemented by an amazing support staff with a stellar doctor/staff ratio to provide the best veterinary care to our community.

Eager doctors will find ample opportunity to learn advanced surgical skills, as we routinely perform endoscopic/laparoscopic procedures, liver biopsies, enterotomies, gastrotomies, splenectomies, cystotomies, amputations, cherry eye repair, enucleation, and much more!

This is the ideal position for vets who would like a diverse caseload in which to thrive. If you have not been trained in surgery, and would like to develop those skills, this is an excellent opportunity to be mentored and train with some of the best surgeons in the business. Our doctors love to teach and mentor!

Even if you are not interested in surgery, but work hard and would like to be a part of a veterinary group that offers advanced veterinary care, this is the place to be! We tailor your schedule to your interest in practice and provide a lot of flexibility to meet needs and schedules.

So, if you're interested in developing your surgical skillset, or you just enjoy working near the beach with an impeccable work/life balance, this is the practice for you!

We tailor our compensation package to your needs, including offering a competitive salary, flexible schedule, health/vision/dental benefits, 401k, generous paid vacation time, CEs and licenses covered, and so much more.
