Description
Sunridge Animal Hospital – Associate or Leadership Track | Henderson, NV
About Our Practice
Sunridge Animal Hospital is a well-established, multi-doctor practice in the Las Vegas area that has proudly served our community for over 20 years. We are seeking a full-time Veterinarian to join our highly collaborative team, with the option to pursue a leadership path with training, if desired.
Our caseload is approximately 70% canine/feline and 30% exotics, including reptiles, amphibians, avian, and pocket pets. We are well known for our avian medicine, with clients traveling from surrounding states for our avian specialist. Experience with exotics is welcome, but not mandatory for an incoming doctor.
We are excited to be expanding our services with the addition of acupuncture starting in February 2026! We also partner closely with wildlife rehabilitation organizations, foster groups, and local pigeon rescue organizations.
