Fairfax Animal Hospital - Veterinarian

About the Company

Vet Evolve is a people‑first organization that provides industry know‑how and reliable support to veterinary teams, enabling them to deliver exceptional patient care. We focus on creating a genuine, supportive, people‑focused environment that prioritizes each individual to ensure they are achieving their career goals and are fulfilled personally, professionally, and financially. Our culture is driven by the core values Serve, Evolve, and Trust, and every day our mission is to make things better for veterinary professionals.

We’re a busy, well‑loved small animal practice that’s been serving our Northern Virginia community for over 70 years—and we’ve never lost our spark. Our team is compassionate, collaborative, and maybe just a little bit quirky. We’ve got:

• Experienced DVMs who love mentoring (and swapping stories)
• A stellar support staff who actually know where everything is
• A coffee machine that works… most of the time
• Clients who love their pets (and occasionally bring treats!)

Our culture is rooted in support, growth, and a whole lot of camaraderie. Whether it’s celebrating a patient’s tail wag, surviving a Monday together, or navigating the latest Wi‑Fi printer rebellion, we’ve built a place where medicine meets meaning—and humor helps everything run a little smoother.

• Practice high‑quality, compassionate veterinary medicine with a collaborative team behind you.
• Manage everything from wellness visits to urgent care cases—sometimes all before lunch.
• Build lasting relationships with awesome, compliant clients.
• Occasionally get covered in fur, slobber, or mystery fluids (comes with the territory).

• A licensed DVM (new grad or experienced) with a great sense of humor.
• Calm under pressure, curious by nature, and kind by default.
• Ready to collaborate, teach, learn, and maybe join in on the office memes.
• Comfortable with fractious cats, unpredictable dogs, and the occasional printer jam.

• Competitive salary plus monthly bonus plan (no negative accrual!)
• Relocation stipend & potential signing bonus for multi‑year commitments.
• Full benefits package, including:
  • Paid vacation & sick leave
  • Health, dental, vision insurance (with generous employer contribution)
  • Short‑term disability (100% covered), liability insurance, 401(k) with strong match
  • Coverage for all licensing & professional fees
  • Customized CE package + a full week off each year
  • Access to Vet Specialists On Demand, Mentor Vet, Able To, and more
• New grads:
  Participate in our wet‑lab‑focused Support From the Start mentorship program.
• Work‑life balance:
  We want you to enjoy your time inside and outside the clinic.

We’re proud of our history—and even prouder of how we’ve evolved. Our founder, Dr. Jerry Goldfarb, is still a cherished presence in the clinic (between fly‑fishing trips), and our commitment to patient care, education, and community runs deep.

“They allow me the freedom to practice as I see fit… We make our own decisions at the clinic level. It still feels like a small, supportive family—just with better benefits.” – A current Vet Evolve veterinarian

Because you’ll practice great medicine, laugh daily, and grow as a clinician—and as a human. You’ll join a team that shows up for each other and celebrates wins big and small (with cake, of course).
