VCA California Veterinary Specialists in Ontario, CA is seeking a board certified or residency trained Surgeon to join our team in the heart of Southern California’s San Bernardino County.

Our motto at California Veterinary Specialists (CVS) is “Special Care from the Heart”. It’s who we are. It’s what we do. VCA California Veterinary Specialists is one of the nation’s leading providers of advanced veterinary services. Our innovative team of multidisciplinary specialists provides Southern California with a network of specialty and critical care hospitals at three state of the art facilities: CVS Ontario (San Bernardino County), CVS Murrieta (Riverside County), and CVS Carlsbad (San Diego County).

Within our hospital and sister locations, we have specialists in surgery, internal medicine, neurology, medical and radiation oncology, and radiology and an experienced 24-hour Emergency and Critical Care staff. We are a teaching institution with an active surgical residency program and a popular rotating internship program.

Joining the VCA CVS-Ontario team you will be supported by a full Surgical team, Internal Medicine, Neurology, and Radiology Services as well as a team of eleven Emergency Clinicians and a full complement of experienced, well trained staff of full time VTS, RVTs and Assistants.  We have a modern and bright 14,000 sq ft. hospital with 10 exam rooms, 3 surgical suites, with state-of-the-art equipment including 1.5 Tesla MRI, fluoroscopy, laparoscopic and thorascopic instrumentation, endoscopy, multiple ultrasounds, and computed tomography with automatic injector and in-house lab. We have a unique culture in our hospital which places strong value on individual skill set, personality, and career goals.   

Our new Surgeon will have access to an existing referral base committed to these services.

In less than an hour, you can be at the mountains or the sea, the desert or a vineyard, enjoying fresh air and wide-open spaces, yet still close to urban centers. Go explore! Immerse yourself in the natural beauty, sophistication and hometown feel of the region.
