Veterinarian

About the role

Animal Clinic of Billings is a privately owned, well‑established small animal practice founded in 1981, known throughout Montana and the surrounding region for exceptional patient care, advanced diagnostics, and complex surgical services. While a general practice at its core, the hospital has become a referral destination for advanced orthopedic and surgical cases due to limited specialty access in the region, offering a unique opportunity to work alongside experienced surgeons, see a diverse caseload, and continue developing surgical skills in a supportive environment. The practice values doctor autonomy, strong support, and the ability to make a meaningful impact. Located in Billings, Montana, the area provides an incredible quality of life with access to outdoor adventure (hiking, fishing, hunting, skiing) and beautiful landscapes, combined with affordability and a community feel.
