Catskill Veterinary Services is seeking an experienced, confident Emergency Veterinarian to join our growing team. We offer the ultimate flexibility: You can choose to work primarily in Rock Hill, primarily in Newburgh, or split your time between both locations. We know that as a seasoned clinician, you value a hospital that supports your medicine, respects your time, and trusts your judgment. We are looking for a partner in care who is ready to bring their expertise to a collaborative and thriving environment.
WE ARE PROUDLY DOCTOR FOUNDED & OWNED. We are led by veterinarians who understand the floor, the medicine, and the reality of emergency work. We prioritize clinical excellence and the well-being of our team above all else.
We are the primary hub for veterinary care in Sullivan County, the Hudson Valley, and beyond. We are a "Full Scope" network designed to support the patient at every stage of life.
In addition to our hospital hubs in Rock Hill and Newburgh, we operate a dedicated location in Middletown which serves as our main primary care facility. This ecosystem ensures a strong internal referral base and allows our ER team to focus on urgent cases while our Primary Care team handles wellness.
We offer the satisfaction of seeing cases through. If your critical ER patient needs long-term internal medicine management or advanced surgery, our internal team handles it. You get to see the outcomes of your hard work.
We are deeply committed to preserving the human-animal bond. We support the owner just as much as the patient, fostering a strong community reputation that you can be proud of.
You know the medicine. You need a team that can keep up. We have curated a team designed to maximize your efficiency and reduce your stress.
You will be flanked by a powerhouse team of Licensed Veterinary Technicians (LVTs) and experienced assistants. They are proficient in triage, catheter placement, anesthesia monitoring, and critical care nursing.
Our management team comes from the floor. They have years of hands-on experience, meaning they understand the challenges you face and know exactly how to support you.
We encourage a collaborative experience. We will meet you with the energy and drive you bring to the table. Whether you want to focus solely on clinical work or have an interest in mentoring younger associates, we facilitate your professional goals.
Work where you love to live. No matter where you choose to settle in the beautiful Hudson Valley, you are in an incredible place to call home.
We are a short, scenic drive to NYC. You can enjoy the city culture on your days off, but live in an area with a lower cost of living, more land, and less traffic.
The Hudson Valley is the food and drink capital of NY state. Enjoy farm-to-table dining, world-class wineries, and a vibrant art scene (Storm
King,
Dia:Beacon, Bethel Woods).
Decompress after a shift by hiking Minnewaska, kayaking the Hudson or Delaware Rivers, or skiing in the winter.
