Referral and Emergency Practice

Our referral and emergency practice located in Decatur, Alabama, utilized by over 200 regional veterinarians, is looking for a small animal surgeon with an interest in soft tissue surgery or surgical oncology or even general surgery.  Surgeons do not need to be board certified as long as they have plans to pursue certification in the future.  Our practice offers full orthopedic and neurologic services.  The owner of this practice began his first referral practice in 1985 and has just opened this state- of- the art hospital!

Home to roughly 55,000 (Census 2006), Decatur has grown to be the busiest river port on the Tennessee River. The Port of Decatur sees large amounts of barge traffic from up and down the Tennessee River, which has led to twenty Fortune 500 companies opening plants in the city. 

In addition to a thriving economy and city attractions, outdoor recreation is a year-round staple in Decatur. Folks take advantage of the location on the Tennessee River for boating, water skiing, and fishing. Decatur also prides itself on providing numerous city parks and recreation facilities.

The hospital itself is has 6300 Sq. feet (plans have been laid for expanding in the near future) is staffed with several doctors, 24 support staff and the latest and greatest in terms of equipment.  By offering employees above average wages, encouraging continuing education and promoting a team environment, the practice has very low turnover.

·      Digital radiography
