Kingsport Veterinary Hospital was established in 1949 and has since been dedicated to providing only the finest treatment to each of our patients. We've been an AAHA accredited practice since 2002, representing the highest quality of veterinary care.

We are SO excited to add a personable, enthusiastic, and motivated associate veterinarian to join our team!

We are currently a 4-doctor practice, supported by a loyal, collaborative and highly-skilled staff. They truly allow our doctors to be focused on patient care and client education.

We welcome doctors of all experience levels! If you are a new or recent graduate, we will provide you with a customized mentorship program, designed to your optimal learning style. Our support staff is skilled and professional, always making sure you'll never be without an extra set of hands.

We emphasize work-life balance, flexible scheduling, and no on-call responsibilities for all our team members.
