Associate Veterinarian – The Animal Hospital of University Drive | Broward County, FL

Since 1979, The Animal Hospital of University Drive has been proudly serving the pets and people of Broward County with heart, skill, and unwavering dedication. As a family-owned practice, we’ve built our legacy on compassion, trust, and the belief that pets are family — plain and simple.

Our full-service hospital offers comprehensive, high-quality medical, surgical, and preventive care for dogs and cats, but what truly sets us apart is our commitment to making every client and patient feel seen, heard, and genuinely cared for. We believe veterinary medicine is as much about relationships as it is about diagnostics and treatments — and our team is devoted to both.

If you’re a veterinarian who thrives in a supportive, collaborative environment where laughter is common, compassion is second nature, and every day brings new opportunities to make a difference, we’d love to meet you.
