Veterinary Career Network

Westfield Veterinary Hospital in Johnston, Iowa is hiring a Full-Time Associate Veterinarian to join our team!  New grads are welcome to apply. Our clinic would provide an excellent environment for candidates interested in expanding their soft tissue surgery and ultrasound skills.

 About our clinic: Westfield Veterinary Hospital is a newly remodeled, full-service, small animal general practice that treats dogs, cats, and our associate Dr. Tera Dupuy also sees exotics. All our exam rooms are equipped with computers, allowing technicians and doctors to take notes in our electronic medical record software, Cornerstone. Our diagnostic equipment includes an in-house lab, digital radiography, digital dental radiography, and ultrasound. Our medical director, Dr. Caryn Paulin, has additional training in ultrasound and echocardiograms and performs imaging for our patients, as well as referred patients from surrounding clinics.

Our doctors are comfortable with most routine and advanced soft tissue surgeries and dentistry. Our surgical suite is fully equipped with a CO2 laser, a monitor that displays patient vitals, and we have an esophageal monitoring probe with the technology for all vitals to get recorded directly into Cornerstone. We utilize our therapy laser frequently for post-op incisions, wound healing, and pain management. Furthermore, we have a great working relationship with an emergency/specialty clinic a few miles away, so we can transfer any patients there for overnight monitoring and care and no on-call shifts are required.

Most importantly, we have an amazing support staff who are crucial to the success of patient and client care. Our technician to doctor ratio is 2-3:1, which enables our doctors to be incredibly efficient and get out of work on time. We have worked very hard to build and maintain a positive practice culture, leading to a great work environment and low turnover. You can learn more about our hospital at westfieldvethospital.com.
