Founding Partner Veterinarian - Bonita

Your Impact as a Founding Partner & Lead Veterinarian

This is more than a leadership role; it's an opportunity to build and lead a practice with the full backing of an established network. As the Founding Partner & Lead Veterinarian, you will be the cornerstone of our new Livewell Animal Hospital in Chula Vista’s premier, high-income commercial hub. 

Operating in the heavily trafficked, high-exposure Bonita Point area (at the intersection of Otay Lakes Road and East H Street), you will serve an affluent, deeply rooted South Bay demographic that actively seeks boutique, concierge-level care for their pets. You will be the cornerstone of the hospital, responsible for establishing a gold-standard medical culture, mentoring your team, and driving the business's success as a true owner.

• Build a Thriving Practice Culture: You will be the architect of a client-first, collaborative culture, setting the tone for medical excellence and teamwork from day one. In this high-profile location—bordering the upscale estates of Bonita and the thriving communities of East Chula Vista—you will design a premium experience that transforms local pet owners into lifelong clients.

• Lead and Mentor Your Medical Team: You will recruit, onboard, and develop your associate veterinarians and paraprofessional staff, fostering a team that is highly skilled, efficient, engaged, and deeply connected to the vibrant South Bay community.

• Drive Medical and Surgical Excellence: You will set and maintain the hospital's standard of care, ensuring the delivery of excellent patient care and providing mentorship in general surgery and dentistry.

• Partner in Business Ownership: You will work directly with your Hospital Manager to manage the hospital's financial performance, making strategic decisions that drive top-line revenue growth and long-term success. By positioning this hospital alongside premier neighborhood anchors and heavy community traffic, you will directly capture an established, high-value market to accelerate practice growth.
