Description
Are you an outstanding veterinarian looking for an opportunity to practice exceptional medicine, either full or part time, with the support of a highly experienced technical staff in a full-service facility providing routine medical, surgical, and dental care?
Are you looking for a set schedule, lunch breaks, benefits, and work-life balance?
If so – have a look at Patrick Veterinary Clinic. Patrick Veterinary Clinic is located in beautiful, bustling downtown Charleston, SC, where water and the beauty of the Lowcountry surrounds you. It’s no wonder it’s continually voted the number one city in the South.
Our large, rapidly growing small animal practice is family owned. Our practice focuses on small animal care that believes in building relationships with our clients – partnering with them to offer compassionate care to their pets. We focus on effective client communication and education as well as efficient follow-up to ensure understanding and consistency. Our patient-centric focus is on medicine – we do not offer daycare, boarding, or grooming.
We are currently seeking an experienced, compassionate, full or part-time Associate Veterinarian to join our team. We know there are numerous choices for a veterinarian trying to find the right fit for themselves – allow us to share a couple of reasons why we feel Patrick Veterinary Clinic may be right for you:

2- We are highly recognized by local residents in two local newspapers as “Best Veterinarian” in their “Best of Charleston” and “Charleston’s Choice” awards contests. We have won both awards numerous times and we also have over 650 Google reviews.

Our Clinic is an excellent place to share, learn, and grow.
