At Pine Animal Hospital, our support staff take ownership of the work surrounding patient care, so veterinarians can focus on clinical decisions, practicing medicine, and performing medical and surgical procedures.
We're hiring two veterinarians: $150,000 guaranteed annual salary, no production-based pay, 30-minute appointments, and a four-day, 40-hour workweek. Explore an independent practice ownership opportunity while working with a substantial support team already in place.

You bring the medical judgment. Our support team helps put it into action.
We have spent years building the staffing and technology infrastructure to support a four-doctor hospital. Our technicians and support staff take ownership of the work surrounding patient care, helping doctors focus on clinical reasoning, client conversations, and medical and surgical procedures.
See that support firsthand: meet the people you would work with, observe our workflow, and ask the questions that matter to you.
Experienced veterinarians and newer graduates are welcome to start a conversation. We'll discuss your clinical experience, support needs, and goals.
Compensation: $150,000 guaranteed annual salary, without a production-based pay component. Your compensation does not depend on meeting a production threshold.
Professional support: Paid continuing education, professional liability insurance, California licensing and professional dues, paid time off, and employee pet-care benefits. Relocation or temporary housing assistance when appropriate.
Pine Animal Hospital is led by Dr. Steven Manyak, appointed by Governor Gavin Newsom to the California Veterinary Medical Board. At PAH, his priorities include rigorous clinical reasoning, ethical care, transparent client communication, and helping veterinarians grow into independent practice ownership.
Thoughtful diagnostics, clear communication, and ethical recommendations guide our approach to patient care.
We value thoughtful questions, shared clinical reasoning, open communication, and respect for every member of the team. Come observe a normal clinical day and ask our staff what working here is like.
Bring your clinical interests and ownership goals. We welcome conversations about partner buy-in or full acquisition by independent veterinarians within approximately two years, subject to mutual fit, due diligence, and negotiated terms.
Our working environment and support staff are the strengths I am most confident in. We have built Pine Animal Hospital so that veterinarians can concentrate on practicing medicine and performing medical and surgical procedures.
I would welcome the chance to show you how our team works and hear what you want from your next role. We can start with a confidential conversation, then arrange a visit if it feels like a fit.
