Description
Veterinary Neurologist, Privately-Owned
$275,000 Base Salary + Production + Sign-On Bonus + Benefits Package + Relocation
You trained extensively to practice high-level neurology. You deserve an environment with the caseload, team, technology, and support to do it well.
At Veterinary Healthcare Associates, you won't be coming in to build a service from the ground up. You'll join an established, in-demand Neurology service alongside a board-certified neurologist, with an existing referral base and the opportunity to continue growing the service together.

An Established Neurology Service

- The infrastructure is here. The caseload is here. And you won't be practicing Neurology alone.
The Environment Matters, Too
If you've practiced specialty medicine long enough, you know culture isn't what's written on a website. It's what you feel on a random Wednesday at 2:30 pm.
At VHA, we've intentionally invested in both the medicine and the people practicing it.
Between cases, you can:
- Grab a fresh meal or coffee at our on-site Dog Dayz Café Step outside onto the Party Patio
- Recharge in our OpenSeed Meditation Pod Use our team-exclusive fitness center
- Participate in VHAfit wellness + community events Utilize on-site housing when relocating
We believe happiness fuels production, not the other way around.
