The right environment makes all the difference, and The Center of Veterinary Expertise may be just what you need. 

Come work with us at the CoVE to appreciate...

Stability – Since 2012 we’ve been the only 24 hour ER/Specialty practice in Suffolk County, VA, the fastest growing county in the state.

Deep Roots – Our founders and specialists, who work in the practice full time, have been in the area for decades and consider the community home.

Independence – Decisions about patient care are made by the individual veterinarian. Our standards are high but as an independently owned business, the opportunity for autonomy and exploring your personal interests is fully supported.

Tenure – Many of our team members have been with us since our opening in 2012. They’ve grown as we’ve grown – through continuing education, mentorship, and our commitment to help each person achieve their career aspirations.

Reputation – We live and work in our values and are seen for who we are – compassionate, caring, and experienced veterinary professionals.

Our Emergency Veterinarians enjoy:

• Being part of a highly skilled team with an incredible work ethic
• Working with a solid group of ER veterinarians and technicians
• Collaborating with specialists in Cardiology, Surgery, and an expert in advanced Dentistry
• Partnering with a well-established, supportive, and respectful referral base

Beyond the medicine, consider the quality of life:

• Great schools and universities
• Moderate year-round climate
• Positive economic growth
• Easy access to beaches, waterways, and mountains
• One of America’s 100 Best Small Cities to Live - by CNN Money Magazine

The best fit for our hospital understands the human-animal bond and the role of the emergency veterinary medical team in our community. If you're also wicked smart, know your VetMed, think you're pretty good at team work, LOVE to learn, and can approach a large caseload with a critical eye and an adventurous heart, we'd love to meet you!   

Come for the opportunity and enjoy the history, beaches, countryside, lakes, rivers, small-town feel, and big city conveniences. A generous compensation and relocation package is included.
