Veterinarian

Position Purpose
Northview Animal Hospital in Albuquerque, NM is eager to add another veterinarian to our great team! Our practice was established in 1997 and has been known as one of Albuquerque’s top veterinary hospitals ever since. We are a three DVM practice, two who have been in private practice for over 40 years! We see a majority of small animal wellness or sick exams, with the occasional exotic visit in between. We encourage veterinarians of all experience levels to apply! Our doctors are extremely willing to provide individualized mentorship as well as share their plethora of knowledge from decades of experience.
Our doctors are supported by a wonderful and experienced support staff. Many have been with the practice for quite some time. They consist of one RVT, a tech/assistant team, and multiple customer service representatives. Everyone is supportive, cohesive, and has open and honest communication. We encourage respect and trust, creating the most enjoyable work environment possible.
Northview has many loyal and long-term clients who want to do everything that their pet needs. Though our already expansive client base would be enough to keep a new DVM busy, we are always open to new clients. We are looking for someone ready for a challenge, ready to bring new ideas and perspectives to Northview, and ready to form one-of-a-kind relationships with our compassionate clients. If this is you, we’d love for you to apply!
