Veterinarian - New Grads or Experienced

Veterinarian - New Grads or Experienced 

30th Street Animal Hospital in Indianapolis is seeking two full-time small-animal veterinarians—one to support growth and one to replace a long-tenured partner who is retiring—to provide medical, surgical, and dental care for dogs and cats in a collaborative, appointment-based general practice (GP). Ideal candidates are comfortable with dentistry and routine soft-tissue surgery, communicate clearly with clients, and enjoy practicing gold-standard medicine. 

New graduates are encouraged to apply and will enter a structured, hospital-led first-year mentorship program, along with enrollment in VPP Academy—a week-long immersive course in Las Vegas that builds skills in clinical communication, canine/feline dentistry, soft-tissue surgery, leadership, and the business of veterinary medicine. 

Experienced doctors seeking a long-term home are equally welcome. Leadership and partnership opportunities are available—but never required—as a long-tenured partner prepares for retirement.

What to Expect

• Salary: $120,000 - $140,000 per year + production (20% services, 10% products)
  • Production payouts: monthly; approved PTO is removed from production baselines
  • Negative Accrual: 6-month grace period (12 months for new grads)
• Other: Sign-On Bonus, Retention Bonus, Student Loan Repayment, Relocation Assistance
• Location: 8120 E. 21st St., Indianapolis, IN 46219
• Hours of operation:
  • Monday through Friday: 8am – 6pm
  • Saturday: 8am – 12pm
  • Daily protected break: 12:00pm – 2:00pm (for lunch, callbacks, records, simple procedures, and learning time) 

As you join our mission to provide individual care and support to each person and pet we serve, expect to be supported in your work and personal life with:

• A schedule that respects your time. 4-day workweek (10-hour shifts) with rotating Saturdays. Your day starts with an 8:45 a.m. team huddle; first appointment at 9:00 a.m., last at 5:30 p.m.; a protected 12–2 p.m. window for lunch/callbacks/notes/simple procedures; and you’re out the door by ~6:30 p.m. daily.
• A 2:1 staff to doctor ratio, comprising of strong, knowledgeable support staff. You’ll be supported—and respected—by two technicians/assistants per doctor plus a dedicated floater, keeping the day running smoothly so you can focus on excellent medicine.

• Paid time off. Catch your breath with 7 paid holidays, 15 days of PTO, plus paid CE days every year. Take the time you need to recharge.
• Partnership opportunities through Veterinary Practice Partners (VPP), where more than 235 vets co-own practices across 168 locations. VPP offers unmatched support in operations, marketing, and finance, allowing you to focus on your passion for veterinary medicine.

About 30th Street Animal Hospital

30th Street Animal Hospital is a progressive, relationship-centered small-animal GP serving East Indianapolis and Lawrence. Our ~6,000 sq ft modern hospital pairs gold-standard medicine with practical, budget-aware options and thoughtful follow-through—every patient receives a next-day callback, and we’re known for the compassion behind our sympathy and support cards.

Our facility features six exam rooms, a large surgical suite with two tables and full anesthesia monitoring (electrocautery and active suction), a brand-new isolation ward, and separate treatment areas for dogs and cats. We have modern tools, such as EzyVet PIMS with remote access, the Weave phone system, IDEXX in-house lab, digital full-body and dental radiography, ultrasound (cart and handheld), therapeutic laser, and EKG; a visiting cardiology service provides echocardiograms twice per month. We also use ScribbleVet AI to speed documentation. 

We’re appointment-based with 30-minute doctor visits from 9:00 a.m.–5:30 p.m., a protected 12–2 p.m. window for lunch, learning, and procedures, and 15-minute technician appointments (2 per hour). We accept walk-ins/work-ins for established sick pets and drop-offs, plus we see daytime urgent cases. Stable pets may be hospitalized overnight with owner consent (building unstaffed); unstable or oxygen-dependent cases transfer to trusted ER/specialty partners such as IndyVet. There’s no on-call. Services span preventive care, dentistry, soft-tissue surgery, ultrasonography, laser therapy, in-house diagnostics, and membership plans—with $1 first-time exams welcoming new clients.

Culture, Team & Fit
Our culture is collaborative, kind, and low-ego. Daily 8:45 a.m. huddles, weekly all-staff and DVM meetings, and open-door case consults keep medicine aligned. A dedicated floater manages day-of capacity, and techs work to the top of their license. The practice has served this community for decades, holds a 4.8-star reputation and a Neighborhood Clinic Choice award, and has been VPP-partnered since 2022—offering real leadership and partnership pathways. Clinicians who thrive here are collaborative communicators who enjoy dentistry and soft-tissue surgery, practice gold-standard care while meeting clients where they are, and value a warm, team-first environment.

Mentorship & Growth
New graduates receive a structured ramp: start with 60-minute appointments, progress to 45, then 30 minutes by ~six months. You’ll rotate in rooms and surgery with multiple doctors, have daily check-ins, and use our protected noon window for learning. You’ll also access VPP Academy and peer groups. Early goals include unassisted spay/neuter, basic mass removals, confident dental radiograph capture and interpretation, solid urgent-care triage, and clear transfer summaries.

Life in Indianapolis
Indy makes it easy to put down roots—pro sports and concerts, a nationally ranked children’s museum, the zoo, Newfields arts campus, nearby hiking and camping, conventions, and quick weekend trips. Cost of living is friendly, with neighborhoods to fit a wide range of lifestyles and budgets.

Requirements:

• Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) or VMD degree from an accredited institution
• Valid veterinary license in the state of Indiana
• Comfort with routine soft-tissue surgery and dentistry or a desire to learn with mentorship
• Strong communication skills and a team minded approach
• Bilingual (English/Spanish) a plus
• Interest in future leadership or partnership a plus 

We are dedicated to establishing a culture that celebrates all forms of diversity and allows us to be an inclusive service provider in this community.
