About the Role
An exciting opportunity is available for a Full-Time Urgent Care Veterinarian in Overland Park, Kansas, providing after-hours care for canine and feline patients in a modern, purpose-built clinical environment.
This position offers a flexible swing/second-shift schedule and is focused exclusively on urgent care, with no routine wellness appointments and no abdominal surgeries.

The modern, paperless clinical environment has been specifically designed for efficient urgent care and features cloud-based electronic medical records, digital radiography, and comprehensive IDEXX in-house laboratory equipment.
A Fear Free and feline-friendly approach helps reduce patient stress and supports a positive clinical experience for pets, clients, and the veterinary team.
