Experienced Urgent Care Veterinarian – Full-Time or Part-Time
Ark Veterinary Hospital & Urgent Care is growing under the leadership of our Veterinary Medical Director, Dr. Kwiatkowski, and is seeking experienced veterinarians to join our urgent care team in Henrietta, New York.
This is an excellent opportunity for a veterinarian who enjoys managing urgent and borderline emergency cases but wants to move away from overnight ER shifts. Candidates should be confident performing surgery and dentistry and comfortable managing a fast-paced, diverse caseload that includes dogs, cats, and exotic pets.
We are open to both full-time and part-time candidates and can offer flexibility in structuring the schedule around the needs of the right doctors.
The Role
As an Urgent Care Veterinarian, you will provide same-day care for sick and injured pets requiring prompt medical attention, diagnostics, stabilization, and treatment. Our caseload includes urgent and borderline emergency presentations without the requirement of overnight shifts traditionally associated with emergency medicine.
Cases may include:
Many patients can be stabilized and treated on-site without requiring transfer to an emergency hospital. Although experience treating exotic pets is welcomed, it is not required. Our team can support doctors who are interested in expanding their knowledge of reptiles, birds, and pocket pets.
Clinical Volume and Case Mix
Our appointment-based model provides a steady and engaging caseload while allowing doctors to plan their days more effectively.
Clients must call ahead to secure an urgent care appointment. Once the hospital is fully booked for the day, additional cases are handled by individual doctor discretion or medical director support.
A Schedule That Respects Your Time
A typical full-time schedule consists of approximately 36-40 hours across three or four days per week:
We value work-life balance and are happy to discuss adjustments to the standard schedule. Part-time opportunities are also available, and schedules can be developed according to the doctor’s availability and the hospital’s coverage needs.
Experienced Clinical Leadership
Medical Director, Dr. Tiffany Kwiatkowski, is a Western New York native with more than 15 years of clinical experience. She has an extensive background in general practice, surgery, emergency and critical care, and preventive medicine. She earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine and completed her clinical training at North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine.
Dr. Kwiatkowski is committed to creating a collaborative environment where doctors feel supported while practicing high-quality medicine. Her leadership focuses on elevating medical standards, implementing clinical best practices, strengthening patient outcomes, and fostering continuous learning and professional growth.
This is an exciting opportunity to join Ark during a new chapter of clinical development and work alongside a highly experienced leader who understands the demands of urgent and emergency medicine.
