We are looking for a veterinarian who will help care for our extremely loyal and well-educated client base with enthusiasm and dedication. Because we are a small practice we know our owners and patients well - no high-stress, assembly-line work here! Dr. Dorothee established the practice in 2009 and has been running it as a solo practitioner ever since, with the help of dedicated support staff who are highly valued and have been with us for years. Whether you are looking for a slower pace in a beautiful region of New York that allows you to safely raise a family or are just at the beginning of your career and are looking to get a running start in a well-established practice with regional name recognition, we can adjust the job to your needs. Part-time, full-time, or thinking about buying in: anything is possible. While Rivendell currently is a boutique practice (and profitable that way!), there is plenty of growth potential, as the remaining local veterinarians who are providing some mixed large animal care are all almost all near or of retirement age, and we have been turning down new clients for the past year. Check out our website @ www.rivendellvet.com for more details about the practice.
DVM or equivalent and eligible for licensure in New York; clean background check and driver's license; willing to relocate to northern NY
Rivendell Veterinary Care PC is a well established 100% equine practice located in the beautiful St. Lawrence River Valley of New York. We are in the heart of the "4th Coast" vacation region of New York State, yet less than one hour away from downtown Ottawa. Whether in your down-time you like to hike, bike, boat, climb, fish, hunt, ride, or do any other of the myriad outdoorsy things our region has to offer - so long as you love the outdoors this region is nothing but a huge playground! Our clientele consists of a wide variety of patients, from the cutest mini-donkey you've ever met to a barn of 2000 pound show draft horses, and everything in-between. Located in a remote part of New York State "Rivendell" has made a name for itself since 2015 as the local "little practice that could". Some of our clients come to us from more than 2 hours away for specialty services such as endoscopies, lameness exams, or podiatry work, while a large portion of St. Lawrence County's equine population gets their preventive care from us as well. We are the sole provider of equine-only veterinary care in all of the North Country, but we maintain friendly relationships with our local and regional colle...agues, helping each other out in times of need, all in order to benefit ALL horses. Our mission is to provide Equine Veterinary Care with a Passion!
