Medical Director

Incredible privately owned clinic in Torrance, CA, seeking a Medical Director to lead their three DVM team!I'm working with a long-established companion animal practice in Torrance that is looking to appoint a Medical Director who wants to lead clinically while remaining hands-on with cases. This is a privately owned hospital with a strong local reputation, an AAHA-accredited standard of care, and a culture built around collaboration, respect, and giving doctors the support they need to focus on medicine. The team currently includes three veterinarians, an experienced practice manager and HR manager, a dedicated lead technician, multiple technicians, client service staff, and a pharmacy assistant.The hospital offers a genuinely well-supported clinical environment. Doctors benefit from 30-60 minute appointments, a dedicated RVT/technician each day, additional float and hospitalization technician support, a daily pharmacy assistant, blocked lunch breaks, and protected callback time. The last appointment starts one hour before the end of shift, which helps create a more sustainable working day. For someone stepping into leadership, this structure gives you the bandwidth to mentor colleagues, help shape protocols, and drive standards without being buried in avoidable inefficiencies.From a clinical standpoint, the practice is equipped with electronic medical records, an in-house laboratory, digital radiography, ultrasound, and cold laser, alongside a broad small animal caseload covering preventative care, surgery, dentistry, diagnostics, and general medicine.This would suit an experienced GP veterinarian who enjoys helping a team develop, values consistency in patient care and client communication, and wants to influence the direction of a respected hospital while still doing the clinical work they enjoy. Compensation is set at $200,000-$225,000 base plus production, with leadership responsibilities reflected in the base salary.We are seeking a DVM to join on a flexible schedule, including 3 or 4 days per week. With occasional weekends required (Flexibility to negotiate!) this is the perfect role for a DVM to take a leadership role without the burnout of additional responsibilities eating into your free time!Key Highlights:Medical Director position combining clinical leadership with ongoing patient carePrivately owned, AAHA-accredited small animal hospitalThree-doctor team with experienced technicians, leadership, and front-of-house supportState-of-the-art tools including in-house lab, digital radiography, ultrasound, paperless records, and cold laser30-60 minute appointments with protected lunch breaks and scheduled callback timeDedicated daily RVT/technician support, plus additional float/hospitalization assistance and pharmacy support$200,000-$225,000 base salary plus production in a hospital with a strong community reputation and recent recognitionAbout you:DVM or equivalent degree that allows you to practice veterinary medicine in the USYou hold (or are eligible for) a license in California5+ years of small animal clinical experiencePrior leadership, mentorship, or supervisory experience is strongly preferredStrong communication skills and a collaborative, team-focused approach to medicineBenefits:Base salary of $225,000-$275,000 plus production401(k) with employer contributionFlexible scheduling options availableMonthly medical insurance allotment, plus dental, vision, chiropractic, and acupuncture optionsGenerous CE allowance, AAHA CE access, and licenses/dues coveredPaid vacation, paid holidays, pet discounts, PLIT allotment, and Employee Assistance ProgramNext StepsIf you are interested, hit "Apply" or for a confidential chat to find out more, simply email hello@ or call the office at (332) 867 1807
