This opening is exclusively at our Skeet Club location in High Point. You will join a seasoned team that values thoughtful medicine, teamwork, and respect for every role.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>The Role</strong></span></p> <p>You will care for dogs and cats through preventive visits, sick appointments, selected urgent cases, and routine soft tissue surgery. Appointments are generally 30 minutes, giving you time to examine patients, explain recommendations, and make a plan with each family.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Dermatology with depth.</strong> Approximately 30%–40% of cases involve ears and skin. We value cytology, clear treatment plans, client education, and follow-through.</li> <li><strong>Selected urgent care.</strong> Work-ins may include vomiting, diarrhea, breathing concerns, limping, dog bites, cat abscesses, and lacerations. Treat appropriate cases in-house and refer when a patient needs more.</li> <li><strong>Routine surgery with referral support.</strong> Perform spays, neuters, mass removals, enucleations, and laceration repairs. A visiting specialist handles orthopedics and advanced dental surgery. Our medical director, Dr. Ashley Kimery, handles dentistry, so dental experience is welcome but not required.</li> </ul> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Clinical Tools and Support</strong></span></p> <ul> <li><strong>Equipment for daily practice: </strong>Digital radiography, ultrasound, an in-house IDEXX laboratory, a monitored surgical suite, and a dedicated anesthesia recovery area.</li> <li><strong>Dental care with room to grow: </strong>Skeet Club has one dental station with digital dental radiography and a high-speed drill. A new dental machine is on the way, and the planned hospital renovation includes a new dental suite.</li> <li><strong>An opportunity to use endoscopy: </strong>An endoscope is on site for a doctor interested in using it or developing that skill.</li> <li><strong>Rehabilitation on the horizon: </strong>Dr. Kimery is working toward certification in rehabilitation and physical therapy, which she hopes to complete by summer 2027. The goal is to offer those services in-house afterward.</li> <li><strong>An experienced support team: </strong>Our approximate support staff to doctor ratio is 2:1. Assistants help with patient care, while technician appointments cover appropriate services such as injections, blood draws, nail trims, and blood pressure checks.</li> </ul> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>A Schedule That Respects Your Time</strong></span></p> <p>A four-day week is the starting point, and we can discuss schedules of three to five days based on your preferences and the hospital’s coverage needs. Appointments begin at <strong>8:30 a.m. each day</strong> and are scheduled for 30 minutes.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday:</strong> First appointment at 8:30 a.m.; last appointment at 4:30 p.m.; doctors generally finish by 5:30 p.m. A two-hour midday block includes lunch and callbacks.</li> <li><strong>Wednesday:</strong> First appointment at 8:30 a.m.; last appointment at 1:30 p.m.; doctors generally finish by 2:00 p.m.</li> <li><strong>Saturday:</strong> First appointment at 8:30 a.m.; last appointment at 11:30 a.m.; doctors generally finish by 12:00 p.m. The planned rotation is every third Saturday.</li> <li><strong>After hours:</strong> No on-call duty, overnight hospitalized patients, or overnight shifts.</li> </ul> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>The Team and Our Approach to Care</strong></span></p> <p>Skeet Club is a close-knit team with loyal clients and colleagues who have served the hospital for 17 to 20 years. People share knowledge, step in to help, and make room for fun while taking patient care seriously. We hold team meetings, support continuing education for staff, and celebrate milestones together.</p> <p>We lead with strong medical recommendations and work with clients on appropriate alternatives when circumstances call for them. Our doctors explain options without judgment, collaborate on difficult cases, and respect the experience of the support team. Dr. Kimery values a veterinarian who enjoys helping pets and leads by example.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Benefits and Partnership</strong></span></p> <p>Eligible full-time doctors receive:</p> <ul> <li>Medical, dental, and vision insurance and retirement benefits</li> <li>Up to 16 days of PTO; the hospital closes for major holiday
