Lead, Inspire & Make Big Things Happen — Become Our Managing Veterinarian / Medical Director!
North Country Veterinary Services – Pulaski, NY
If you’ve been waiting for the
right
leadership opportunity… this is your sign.
North Country Veterinary Services is on the hunt for a passionate, people-loving, medicine-obsessed
Managing Veterinarian / Medical Director
to guide our newly renovated, nine-doctor mixed animal powerhouse in the heart of Upstate NY.
This is your chance to shape the future of veterinary care in a practice that’s growing, evolving, and bursting with possibility.
Why You’ll Love It Here
We’re not just a hospital — we’re an energetic, tight-knit crew that believes great medicine happens when people love where they work.
And we just wrapped up a
huge
renovation designed to make your dream workspace a reality:
Two brand-new exam rooms (six total!)
for smoother flow
A dedicated dental suite
to level up oral care
A recovery room & comfort room
for calm, compassionate care
Purpose-built DVM workstations
— quiet, modern, yours
A fresh, open reception area
that clients rave about
A new staff break room
that actually feels relaxing
A fully equipped isolation ward
Everything updated — flooring, ceilings, cabinets, you name it
This is a practice that invests in its people and its medicine.
What Makes Us Stand Out
You’ll join a wildly talented veterinary team with experience levels ranging from 2 to 39 years — plus licensed technicians trained in dentistry, surgery, ultrasound, acupuncture, and therapeutic laser.
We’re collaborative, supportive, and always pushing each other to be better.
Broad caseloads? Check.
Advanced diagnostics? Check.
A culture that feels like family? Absolutely.
Your Role as Medical Director

You will:
Elevate clinical quality and help shape medical protocols
Mentor doctors and technicians to grow their skills and confidence
Partner with the Hospital Manager on financial health, recruiting, scheduling & KPIs
Lead strategic planning, drive innovation, and make our workflows shine
Strengthen client education, retention, and community visibility
Foster a hospital culture that people
love
being part of
You’re the medical leader who helps good teams become great teams.
