About this role
We are working on behalf of an independently owned emergency hospital in Wayne, NJ that is seeking additional veterinarians to join its fast-growing team.

The practice has grown quickly, expanding from just four staff members at launch to a thriving team of 20+, including several experienced ER doctors, anesthesia-trained technicians, and a practice manager with over 20 years of specialty and emergency experience.
