Hiring An Associate Veterinarian (DVM): Sign-On Bonus | 4-Day Work Week | Mentorship That Actually Matters

WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT HERE

Picture this: You finish your last appointment, step outside, and you’re staring at Pikes Peak. Blue skies. Fresh air. No burnout cloud hanging over your head.

With nearly 300 days of sunshine a year, Colorado Springs isn’t just where you work; it’s how you recharge. Hiking. Skiing. Biking. Breathing again.

• Established, 3+ doctor small animal practice
• Loyal, trusting clients who say yes to care
• Skilled, well-staffed support team (you won’t feel alone here)

Led by Dr. Coufal, who has proudly served the community for over 25 years, we believe in practicing common-sense medicine, prioritizing collaboration over ego, and building meaningful relationships rather than rushing through appointments.
