Looking for exceptional medicine, a collaborative team, and the freedom to practice the way you believe veterinary medicine should be practiced?
At Evolution Veterinary Specialists (EVS), we're proud to be #TrulyPrivatelyOwned.
What does that mean? We're a veterinarian-owned specialty and emergency hospital with no corporate ownership, no private-equity investors, and no outside equity shareholders. Our decisions are made by veterinarians, not investors.

? Four-suite surgical center and on-site blood bank

A board-certified or board-eligible DACVIM (SAIM) who is passionate about excellent medicine, enjoys collaboration, and wants to make a meaningful contribution to a growing specialty service.
Abdominal ultrasound proficiency is strongly preferred.
Why Does Ownership Matter?
As new veterinary hospitals enter the market, terms like independent, employee-owned, and privately owned are increasingly common.
But they're not necessarily the same thing.
At EVS, our ownership structure means we have the freedom to invest in our people, our equipment, and our patients without answering to outside equity investors.
We're not building a hospital for an eventual corporate exit. We're building a hospital where exceptional veterinary medicine and the people who practice it can thrive.
If you're looking for a hospital where you can practice excellent medicine, have a voice in your department, and be part of something genuinely different, we'd love to talk.
