A Different Way to Practice Veterinary Medicine
If you've ever thought, I love medicine, but not the pace, pressure, or chaos that comes with most veterinary roles, keep reading.
Sage Veterinary Imaging is not a general practice. We are not an ER. We don't do wellness, vaccines, or high-volume appointments.
Many of our doctors say the same thing after joining: I didn't realize veterinary medicine could look like this.
We exist for one reason:
To provide clear diagnostic answers that help pets get the right care faster.
Sage Veterinary Imaging is seeking a veterinarian to help lead our diagnostic imaging service in Sandy, UT. This is a non-specialist position. We want a veterinarian with excellent patient exam, assessment, and anesthesia skills to guide patients through the diagnostic imaging procedures.
This role is ideal for a general practice or emergency veterinarian who enjoys diagnostics, values safe anesthesia, is an excellent communicator, and wants a calmer, more intentional way to practice medicine.
Sage Veterinary Imaging uses advanced, human-quality imaging technologies in 3T MRI, 128 slice CT, X-ray, and ultrasound. Coupled with our same-day digital cytology lab, we ensure optimal diagnostic accuracy, which allows our referring veterinarians to plan the most effective treatments.
Why This Role Is Different
Most veterinarians don't learn about roles like this in school.
At Sage, you're not rushing room to room. You're not balancing production metrics. You're not managing wellness schedules or emergency triage. Instead, you're part of a focused specialty team where:
Your role contributes directly to better outcomes — without burnout
Here's How We Operate
We elevate patient care by delivering definitive answers for pets, their owners, and referring veterinarians. We are a referral-based practice and perform imaging procedures to support and preserve the bond of the referring veterinarian (rDVM) and pet owner. Our process is simple. First, the patient is referred to us after the rDVM determines a need for imaging.
Next, we evaluate the case, examine the patient, and perform appropriate imaging and additional diagnostics under the guidance of veterinary radiologists. Finally, we communicate the results to the pet owner and veterinarian for next steps and treatment. If needed, we may assist with finding an appropriate specialist for next steps of care in critical cases.
