VCA Animal Hospitals Associate Veterinarian - Oahu, HI in Pearl City, Hawaii
VCA Family and Oahu Veterinary Specialty Center is seeking an experienced Associate Veterinarian to work in Urgent Care with our talented team in Pearl City, Hawaii.
VCA Family and Oahu Veterinary Specialty Center started as a general practice then became a 24/7 hospital in 2005. Specialists were added to our hospital starting in 2012. Our boarded specialists currently include 2 internists, 2 criticalists, 1 surgeon, 1 ophthalmologist, and 1 medical oncologist. We utilize Hawaii’s only mobile boarded cardiologist twice a month. We have great doctor retention with 40% of our doctors working here for 10+ years, while another 15% have been here over 5 years. We are an experienced, collaborative, close knit team who puts patient care above all else and are looking for someone who shares these values.
Here, we are passionate about career growth and lifelong learning. We have access to a large e-library of textbooks and journals. Our hospital provides once a month, in-house, live CE given by one of our specialists, as well as a generous CE stipend. We regularly host veterinary student externs, specialty veterinary residents, Penn foster students, and veterinary technician externs. Our doctors are directly involved with Hawaii’s only veterinary technician program, and we have a partnership with Hawaii’s Humane Society as well as some of the local rescue groups. Some of the more advanced medicine/procedures that we perform include total intravenous anesthesia, chest tube management and pleuravac management, autotransfusions, vasopressor support, sampling line placement and care, autologous blood patching, laparoscopic surgery, lithotripsy, intralipid therapy, peritoneal dialysis, assisted enteral and parenteral nutrition, endoscopic foreign body removal, cataract surgery and conjunctival grafting, fish skin grafts, and chemotherapy.
Our hospital is currently under construction as we are expanding into a multi-level hospital with state-of-the-art equipment. We currently have a 128-slice CT, multiple digital radiography suites, endoscopy, multiple ultrasound machines, oxygen cages, an incubator, mechanical ventilation, wound vacuums, laparoscopy/arthroscopy equipment, telemetry, blood gas analyzers, in house blood machines, blood component therapy (including canine albumin), digital cytology reader, an isolation unit, and lithotripsy equipment. Once construction is completed, we will be adding an oxygen generator, high flow nasal oxygen, a dedicated ICU, separate ER entrance, additional in-house blood machines, an elevator, and have a total of 19 exam rooms, 6 operating suites, and a separate dental suite.
If you love long walks on the beach, hiking in the jungle, and some of the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets on the planet, this is the place to be! Our hospital is located in the middle of Oahu, in Pearl City, in a small strip mall with security and on-site parking. This is a great central location with many options to relocate to where the commute is manageable. Our clients are friendly, caring and are dedicated to their pets.
