Veterinarian-Hubbell Animal Hospital-Des Moines IA

Additional Hospital Information & What We Are Looking For:

Experienced Associate Veterinarian – Hubbell Animal Hospital | Des Moines, IA

• Interest In: Practicing high-quality, comprehensive small-animal general practice in an AAHA-accredited, full-service veterinary hospital where experienced doctors have the autonomy, resources, and support to practice great medicine. Hubbell offers a diverse caseload spanning preventative care and wellness, internal medicine, advanced diagnostics, dentistry, soft-tissue surgery, same-day and urgent care, pain management, behavioral medicine, nutrition, and client education.

This is an excellent opportunity for a veterinarian who enjoys being a well-rounded GP while still having enough medical variety to keep each day interesting. Whether you particularly enjoy surgery, dentistry, challenging internal medicine cases, diagnostics, urgent care, or building long-term client relationships, there's room to make your clinical interests a meaningful part of your practice.

• Experienced Veterinarian Opportunity: We're looking for an experienced veterinarian. We would be open to part time or full time candidates. 

At the same time, you won't be practicing on an island. With a separate Medical Lead, an established hospital team, and additional Mission Pet Health resources both locally in Des Moines and regionally, you'll have collaboration available when you want it while maintaining the clinical autonomy expected of an experienced doctor.

• Clinical Autonomy + Continued Growth: Being experienced doesn't mean you're finished growing. You'll have the freedom to practice high-quality medicine using your own clinical judgment while continuing to expand the areas of veterinary medicine that interest you most.

In addition to generous CE support, you'll have access to our Clinical Tracks Program, offering complimentary RACE-approved CE facilitated by veterinary specialists within our network.

Have a special interest? Let's talk about how we can help make it a larger part of your everyday practice.

• Supportive, Experienced Technical Staff: Practice alongside a knowledgeable and compassionate support team dedicated to maximizing doctor efficiency and delivering exceptional patient care. Our technicians and support staff assist with anesthesia monitoring, diagnostics, dentistry, surgical support, treatments, patient care, and client communication—allowing our veterinarians to spend more of their time focused on medicine, clinical decision-making, and the doctor-client relationship.

• Facility & Clinical Capabilities: Hubbell is an AAHA-accredited, full-service hospital equipped to support comprehensive medicine and thorough case workups. The hospital features modern exam rooms, in-house laboratory capabilities, digital radiography, digital dental radiography, dedicated surgical and dental areas, advanced patient monitoring, and workflows designed to support efficient, high-quality care.

For an experienced veterinarian, that means having the diagnostic and clinical tools available to work up your cases appropriately rather than feeling limited by the capabilities of your hospital.

• Collaborative Doctor & Leadership Environment: Join an environment where experienced doctors are trusted to practice medicine while still having access to collaboration when needed. With dedicated hospital leadership, a separate Medical Lead position, and additional local and regional support, the structure is designed so that you can focus on being a great clinician without having to carry the hospital on your shoulders.

• Patient Mix – Comprehensive GP With Plenty of Variety: Enjoy a diverse dog and cat caseload ranging from preventative medicine and routine wellness to dentistry, surgery, internal medicine, chronic disease management, diagnostics, pain management, senior care, and same-day or urgent presentations.

For a veterinarian who loves GP but doesn't want every day to feel exactly the same, Hubbell offers the variety to stay challenged, continue learning, and practice comprehensive medicine throughout your career.
