Patterson Veterinary Hospital has a rich tradition of providing advanced medicine, compassionate care, and excellence in client-patient service, which has continued for two generations. Our hospital combines industry-leading medical expertise with the single-minded pursuit of excellence in customer service.

Since opening in 1953, our amazing doctors have been backed by a hard-working and confident support staff, which has allowed us to truly practice the best medicine. We're also equipped with state-of-the-art tools that allow our doctors to work through all kinds of cases; these include ultrasound, digital radiology, endoscope, in-house lab, and more.

We are adding another veterinarian to our team!

We welcome DVMs of all experience levels to apply, especially those looking to grow professionally, display leadership, and build a strong rapport with clients. For any Ross graduates, you will enjoy working alongside many fellow alumni! For new grads, we offer a strong mentorship program and the commitment to support/foster your veterinary skills.

To make sure our DVMs all have an adequate work-life balance, we offer a flexible schedule and are closed on weekends. We also have part-time positions available.
