Veterinarian

• We are a privately owned, busy small animal practice employing 3+ veterinarians complemented by a full staff of experienced veterinary technicians and receptionists. Our clinic has up-to-date lab, ultrasound, orthopedic and x-ray capabilities. Reproductive medicine and exotics round out our busy schedule.
• We offer competitive salaries and are willing to discuss salary needs and expectations. Professional fees and dues and continuing education are covered. Health insurance and a SIMPLE retirement plan is available. It's important for our doctors to be able to spend the amount of time needed to diagnose and treat our valued patients.
• Seemingly endless outdoor recreation is a major plus for this area. We definitely enjoy the seasonal changes--everything from snow skiing season to fly-fishing season to apple harvesting season. Our small community is near Durango and Pagosa Springs, Colorado which offer additional activities and events. Come for a visit and you'll feel like you've come home!

We like for our doctors to have diagnostic skills and confidence as well as some surgical ability. Good communication skills and an interest in collaboration with the other doctors is helpful. We admire a degree of curiosity and a willingness to learn, oftentimes seeking continuing education in areas of interest. A positive attitude is welcomed by our entire staff and is usually accompanied by a doctor being able to work well with the public and the staff. Empathy and compassion are also needed when discussing less than optimal outcomes for a case or the deteriorating health of the family pet.
