Are you ready to rediscover your passion for healing in an environment where your expertise truly matters? At Animal Eye Care Center, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all medicine. We lead with empathy, uphold clinical integrity, and foster trust through the kind of honest, personalized service that only a private, specialized practice can provide.

For over 25 years, we have served our community as a premier, independent specialty practice in veterinary ophthalmology. Our team is anchored by two board-certified veterinary ophthalmologists and a dedicated resident, creating a high-level clinical environment focused on innovation and mentorship.

Independent by choice. We take great pride in our boutique, physician-led atmosphere, which lets us focus entirely on personalized service and long-term relationships. By remaining independent, we ensure that our clinical decisions and practice culture are always guided by our core values of empathy and excellence.

As a Veterinary Technician at Animal Eye Care Center, you’ll take part in complex, rewarding cases that make a visible difference in the lives of our patients and their owners, while learning from a highly specialized team.

• Advanced Anesthesia: Comfortably manage patients of all sizes under anesthesia, including patients on a ventilator.
