Hollymead Veterinary Hospital in Charlottesville, Virginia is a 4‑doctor practice providing General Practice and Urgent Care services. We’re seeking an additional, experienced veterinarian who enjoys treating a diverse range of cases with a highly skilled team!

Hollymead Veterinary Hospital has deep community ties. Formerly known as VETSS (Veterinary Emergency Treatment and Specialty Services), our hospital provided emergency services to the Charlottesville community for over 30 years.

Our rebrand to Hollymead Veterinary Hospital marks a thoughtful shift to better represent the care we provide today and celebrates our deep‑rooted connection to our local community.

“They allow me the freedom to practice as I see fit…We can make almost all of our main decisions ourselves, at the clinic level. Their upfront focus on honesty and improving over time keeps surprising me each time they demonstrate it. Veterinary medicine is not always the prettiest, easiest, happiest, or most satisfying line of work as we all know, but I can’t imagine doing it for any other group.

Vet Evolve has been able to retain a small feel over time, as it grows, which is huge for me.” – Vet Evolve Veterinarian
