Veterinarian

River Ridge Animal Hospital is so excited to add another veterinarian to our amazing team! We are a successful small animal and exotics practice that serves the beautiful Sauk Valley River and Quad Cities area. Our 17,000 square foot facility is home to 6 full-time DVMs, 2 part-time DVMs, 7 CVTs, and 40+ team members in total. Our practice prides ourselves on offering top-of-the-line general care as well as advanced procedures like orthopedic surgery and ultrasound diagnostic imaging.

We are fortunate to have excellent and tremendously supportive clientele. They come from all over the beautiful Sauk Valley River region, whose local population is about 50k. They are caring, compassionate owners who tend to opt for medium/higher level care for the pets. Our new DVM would have no issue quickly establishing their own clientele base with both existing and new patients.

At our practice, we stress work-life balance. Most doctors average a 3.75-day work week and have a 3-day weekend every other weekend! We encourage DVMs of all experience levels to apply, as our practice would serve as an excellent opportunity for any new graduate to gain valuable experience in multiple aspects of veterinary medicine as well as for an experienced DVM to practice their already developed skillsets. Full and part-time positions are available!
