Looking for a leadership opportunity where you can still focus on what made you fall in love with veterinary medicine?

At Bernville Veterinary Clinic, we're looking for an experienced Lead Veterinarian who values thoughtful medicine, strong relationships, and a collaborative approach to leadership. Our established 2 Doctor small animal practice is preparing for a leadership transition, creating an opportunity for a veterinarian who wants to make a meaningful impact on both patient care and the people delivering it. We're a close-knit, hands-on team serving a rural Pennsylvania community where relationships matter. Our clients appreciate veterinarians who take the time to listen, explain their recommendations, and help families make informed decisions about their pets' care.

We aren't looking for someone to simply manage a schedule or carry a leadership title. We're looking for a veterinarian who wants to help guide the hospital's future while continuing to practice meaningful, hands-on medicine. Previous leadership experience is valuable, but we're also interested in experienced Veterinarians who are ready to take the next step in their career. 

Why you will love leading here:

• Leadership with Purpose: Help guide medical standards, support clinical collaboration, and work alongside hospital leadership to identify opportunities for continued improvement. You'll have a voice in how the practice evolves while remaining actively involved in patient care.
• Surgery, Dentistry & Clinical Variety: Enjoy a diverse small animal caseload that includes preventive medicine, dentistry, and surgery. Dedicated surgery days provide opportunities to maintain and develop your procedural interests.
• Medicine That Meets Clients Where They Are: Our rural community includes families with a wide range of needs and financial circumstances. We value veterinarians who can offer medical recommendations, communicate options clearly, and help clients make informed decisions without compromising compassion or professional judgment.
• Experienced Clinical Support: Our team includes three licensed veterinary technicians and two veterinary assistants. With approximately 1.5–2 clinical support team members per doctor, you'll work alongside people who understand the importance of teamwork, communication, and efficient patient care.
• Tools to Practice Great Medicine: Four exam rooms, a dedicated surgical suite, digital radiography, ultrasound, in-house IDEXX diagnostics, and an on-site pharmacy support a broad range of general practice cases.
• A Schedule with Room for Life: Three or Four-day workweek options, rotating half-day Saturdays, and Sundays off. We recognize that building a sustainable veterinary career means having time for life outside the hospital, too.
