VCA PetCare West Veterinary Hospital in Santa Rosa, California is seeking a highly experienced Veterinarian to lead our tenured DVM team as Medical Director.
Our hospital is located in the heart of wine country. Sonoma County in the broader sense provides many desirable places to live; from the coast to the inland hills and miles of vineyards, to quaint small towns or more urban settings, all are available in Sonoma County. There really is something for everyone. San Francisco is an hour away, the coast is just a short drive, and Russian River with its beautiful scenery are nearby. If you want to live just outside of town on a small farm, near a vineyard, or with a view of the foothills, the river, or the coast, it is all available within a short drive of VCA PetCare West.
