Aztec Animal Clinic is a six doctor practice housed in the historic Nob Hill district of Albuquerque, NM.  We were founded in 1990 as a single doctor practice and are still locally owned and operated to this day.  Our dedication to gold standard medicine, chronic care, and advanced dentistry services are how we established our reputation in the community.  In recent years we have expanded our scope of practice to include Fear Free Certification, which is provided for every member of our staff.  We have see that a Fear Free environment increases patient welfare, client bonding, and overall job satisfaction among our workforce.

Our priority is to foster a collaborative environment, where case discussion is encouraged and case management is shared.   We have formal DM meetings each month to discuss the latest articles or challenging cases, but our group office encourages ongoing case rounds throughout the day.  Our team atmosphere means we are uniquely situated to mentor new veterinarians and our large team means there is always someone to lend a helping hand.

In general, we have a 4.25 to 1 support staff to doctor ratio with numerous hospital floor assistants so that our team can focus on individualized patient care.  As a veterinarian at our facility, you will have access to digital ultrasound, digital radiography, extensive monitoring equipment for anesthetized patients, (ie doppler blood pressure monitoring, capnography, etc), benchside laboratory testing, an extensive pharmacy and much more.  We pay for each of our veterinarians to attend the Advanced Dentistry and Oral Surgery courses in Colorado Springs, CO for which you will receive your own set of brand new oral surgical tools.

Our aim is to create a sustainable work-life balance which includes a 32 hour work week, 2 hour resource block each day and a rotating Saturday schedule.   We also organize hospital-wide activities outside of work each month.  Past activities have included attending a game of New Mexico United Soccer, Friday night volleyball league, paint and sip night, a company wide picnic, and a family night at the Electric Playhouse
