By now you will have realized that Country Oaks Veterinary Hospital is a genuinely unique environment.  We are a small-town veterinary hospital who delivers quality veterinarian care with passion. We are salary based, not production based, furthering the idea that we are here for our patients and not how much we can make per client. This is very important to us, but harmony is equally important, as is ensuring a great working atmosphere where honesty through transparency builds trust. It is time for you to make the next step in your career and join us.
