Animal Place Veterinary Hospital is a full service, privately owned small animal hospital offering routine medical and surgical procedures; dental care services and alternative medicine. We strive to be the best, not the largest; we have the ability to run in-house (or send out) diagnostics with our state of the art Idexx VetLab Station and Digital X-rays, which are fully integrated with our Cornerstone Software. We have all the newest diagnostic equipment and are open to purchasing what is needed to help you practice the best medicine possible. Hours accommodate a balanced work and home life, working every other Saturday, one day off during the week and no after-hour calls! We are open, Monday through Friday from 8 am to 6 pm and Saturday from 9 am to 1 pm. Doctor's schedule gives you time to come in before your first appointment, check out any lab work and organize your thoughts before you see your first appointment. Our appointment schedule allows time to talk to clients and provide real-time solutions, yet at the same time walk out of the clinic by 6:15 to enjoy your evening. We do not board or keep animals hospitalized overnight. If a pet needs overnight care or emergency care we have several 24-hour hospitals close to us. You can sleep knowing that you will not come back to a patient left alone in a cage at night. We are a fun, dynamic place with a team of very dedicated assistants. Our employees have your back at all times, helping you to do what veterinarians do best--practice medicine. Our gentle approach to animals has been a cornerstone of the practice, utilizing fear free methods is standard. Our dedicated support team believes in providing only exceptional client service along with up to date, evidence-based medical and surgical care. Interested candidates should have excellent communication skills and a compassionate demeanor towards pets and their people. We are as serious as we need to be but can also laugh at ourselves (especially as anal glands go everywhere!) New graduates are encouraged to apply, as well as veterinarians with experience. We will offer mentorship that is designed for you, the individual--giving you as much help and assistance as you need and want. We want our doctors to work together--as we can each learn from each other. Animal Place Veterinary Hospital is located close to Washington DC as well as close to the beach and the mountains. Great place to raise kids--Montgomery County has excellent public schools--and a great place to live. Located in a strip mall, clients like to stop in to say hi and drop off yummy treats. We offer all the typical--vacation, CE, sick days, 401(K), etc. but it is what we offer that is not typical is why you should check us out! Call or email, you won't regret checking us out!
