Our hospital, is located in Chula Vista, provides emergency care 24 hours a day, allowing doctors to both treat outpatients as well as care for hospitalized patients. Our doctors perform emergency surgeries such as gastrotomies, GDVs etc and this is a great opportunity for an ER doctor who wishes to expand or learn this skill. We wish to support our ER doctors and have added a new ultrasound machine and will soon have a vessel sealing device (“Ligasure”) for the OR.

This location is also a satellite to a sister Multi-Specialty & ER hospital 25 miles away in La Mesa and our specialists are a phone call away to collaborate on cases. We are looking for a talented doctor to join our team, who is passionate about providing incredible service to our devoted client base, and someone who will embody our philosophy of promoting excellence in medicine and service to our clients, referring veterinarians and each other.

Outside of work, there’s so much to do in San Diego and the surrounding areas. The hospital is in a great location close to beaches and downtown, 15-30 minutes from great mountain-hiking, biking and horseback riding, and driving distance to ski resorts. This is the heart of the Southern California lifestyle: no sport, hobby or professional/personal interest is out of reach. We want our team to enjoy life outside of work and San Diego is an amazing place to do that.
