Strickland Veterinary Clinic is actively seeking both Part-Time and Full-Time Associate Veterinarians who share our commitment to teamwork, quality medicine, and pet parent education. Here’s what we’re looking for:

Are you a veterinarian that is a compassionate team player? Do you have a passion for practicing quality veterinary medicine? Are you committed to maximizing time with pet parents, educating them to provide excellent care for their beloved pets? If so, we want to hear from you!

About Our Team:

Dr. Mary Strickland, the founder of Strickland Veterinary Clinic, established our practice in 1991. As she approaches retirement, she aims to transition her loyal pet parents to our new associate veterinarians. We eagerly welcome additional veterinarians to join our dedicated team. Each one is encouraged to explore their unique interests and contribute to our compassionate care for animals.

At Strickland Animal Clinic, our team comprises Dr. Strickland, two part-time veterinarians, our practice manager, customer service representatives, and several pet nurses and kennel attendants. We work collaboratively and supportively to enhance the effectiveness and success of our practice, benefiting both pet parents and their beloved pets. Our operating hours are from 8 am to 6 pm, Monday through Friday, and from 9 am to 1 pm on Saturdays, with no on-call services.

At our well-equipped clinic, we utilize Cornerstone software, digital radiology with radiologists’ interpretation, digital dental radiology, and Idexx in-house lab equipment. Our collaboration with a board-certified surgical specialist ensures that the highest level of care and expertise is readily available to our pet parents and patients. When it comes to scheduling, our priority is on building strong relationships with pet owners, maximizing time together, and ensuring the best possible outcomes for their beloved pets. Tasks that can be delegated to support staff are booked separately from veterinarian visits. Additionally, we are currently transitioning to electronic medical records and will be implementing an AI-assisted charting platform. This AI platform will efficiently complete SOAP notes and other medical record information, allowing you to focus more on delivering high-value veterinary medicine and ensuring you can finish your work on time!
