Premier VetCare, an independent privately owned veterinary hospital located in Smyrna, just south of Nashville Tennessee, is seeking resumes for Full Time Associate Veterinary Position. Practice offers complete veterinary care to its clients, to include orthopedic and advanced soft tissue procedures.  The practice offers the best veterinary medicine has to offer, but works with the client to allow them to provide their pets the best care they can afford.  We do not board or groom, we practice only medicine and surgery. We do have a close relationship with a large local boarding and grooming business. Voted locally as the “Favorite Veterinary Hospital” since 2012.  

The practice opened in 2004 and has steadily grown into one of the busiest practices in our market.  We are a paperless practice with digital radiography, ultrasound, computers in 7 exam rooms, wireless surgical monitor, electrocautery, CO2 surgical LASER, full in-house lab and more.  Staff is trained to help DVMs with routine sample collection, reporting, and client communication. Staff to DVM ratio of 4:1

The practice is dedicated to a fun, enjoyable,  and positive work environment. We strives to prevent the toxic work environments found in so many veterinarian practices. 

Our practice has several emergency and specialty practices in the area to help support our client’s needs.  But our practice is equipped and experienced to assist clients that may not be able to afford specialty care.  

Interested applicants must have the heart of a teacher.  Must enjoy teaching our owners about the importance of wellness care, dental care, and in the health issues their pet may have in order to create an effective team with the owner. The DVM team is dedicated to mentoring, so new or recent graduates are encouraged to apply. 

Premier VetCare is already supported by several DVMs with general, advanced, and orthopedic surgery interest and experience, so though surgical interest is a plus, there is room for a medicine only interested individual. Also room to expand the practice with a DVM with Exotic interest as well.

Practice pays DVMs on a Pro-Salary basis, so motivated DVMs are rewarded financially. Current DVM staff earn between $90,000-$135,000 per year, that puts or doctors in the top 25% of income in Tennessee. 5 day work week M-F, hospital is closed Saturday and Sunday, but some patient care may be needed on weekends for your hospitalized patients.  After meeting base pro-sal requirements 4 day work week may be available.  The practice moved in October 2011 to a new 6300+ Sq ft facility with 7 exam room, three wet/dental tables, and dual table surgical suite.  Interested applicants should send their resumes to Dr Michael Hatcher by e-mail at drmikehatcher@comcast.net.  Applicant may also apply in person T-F.
