Job Description

Board-Certified Veterinary Surgeon

Build Something Exceptional, Minutes from Lake Tahoe

Carson Valley Veterinary Hospital is seeking a board-certified veterinary surgeon to step into a high-impact, growth-oriented role within our thriving, multi-doctor hospital in Gardnerville, Nevada. This is a rare opportunity to lead and expand surgical services in a collaborative, state-of-the-art environment with immediate caseload and long-term vision.

You’ll join a hospital purpose-built for modern veterinary medicine, supported by an established referral base, advanced diagnostics, and a strong team culture focused on exceptional patient care.

Why This Role Stands Out

Brand-New, State-of-the-Art Facility

Work in a newly built, 15,000-square-foot hospital designed for efficiency, workflow, and gold-standard medicine. All equipment and technology are brand new and thoughtfully selected to support advanced surgical care.

Immediate, Built-In Caseload

You’ll be supported by 15 experienced DVMs across general practice and emergency services, providing a consistent and diverse surgical caseload from day one.

Advanced Diagnostics and Surgical Support

• On-site CT for advanced diagnostics and surgical planning
• Two digital radiography units for efficiency and throughput
• High-end ultrasound for complex case workups
• Large, modern surgical and dental suites
• Continued investment in cutting-edge technology and equipment

No Overnight Shifts

Enjoy the challenge and fulfillment of advanced surgery and emergency case collaboration without overnight responsibilities, supporting a sustainable and balanced lifestyle.

Integrated GP and Emergency Model

Our combined general practice and emergency care model offers:

• Strong case continuity
• A steady flow of urgent and advanced surgical cases
• A highly collaborative clinical environment

The Role

• Perform advanced soft tissue and orthopedic procedures
• Collaborate closely with referring DVMs to ensure seamless case management
• Lead the growth and refinement of surgical services
• Mentor and elevate the surgical knowledge of the clinical team

What We Offer

• Highly competitive compensation with base salary plus production
• Sign-on bonus and relocation assistance
• Comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, 401(k), and CE allowance
• The opportunity to build and lead a surgical service within a rapidly growing hospital

Live Where Others Vacation

Located in Gardnerville, just minutes from Lake Tahoe, this role offers an exceptional quality of life, including:

• World-class skiing, hiking, and outdoor recreation
• Stunning mountain and lake views
• Easy access to both nature and nearby city amenities

Who You Are

• Diplomate of the ACVS or residency-trained surgeon
• Passionate about high-quality, collaborative surgical care
• Excited to build and grow a surgical service in a modern hospital
• Thrive in a positive, team-oriented culture
