The makeup of our veterinary staff includes Board Certified Specialists in Internal Medicine, Oncology, Radiology, Surgery and Behavior with Ophthalmology, neurology, Cardiology, Radiation Oncology and Dermatology close by. Our practice is centrally located in California with easy access to the Sierra Nevada Mountains and Lake Tahoe, as well as the San Francisco Bay area. The neighboring town of Auburn is the self-proclaimed "Endurance Capitol of the World", and numerous opportunities for recreation exist in the area, including mountain and road biking, hiking, camping, equestrian sports, and water sports. Our practice area is semi-rural, but conveniently close to Sacramento and UC Davis. We offer a well equipped congenial practice environment with great staff and clientele. We have established a large referral base for internal medicine cases over the past 19 years. To enhance our capabilities, we have provided several flexible and rigid endoscopes, a video/laparoscopy and a CT. Our licensed technicians are highly motivated; those that work with the Internal Medicine and Oncology specialists are dedicated and specially trained. Our internists have developed a tremendous mutually respectful referral network and we work diligently to preserve those relationships. Additionally, we provide a full range of benefits: Paid time off, CE expenses and days, holiday pay, 125 Cafeteria Plan with an employer discretionary contribution and a 401k plan. Our veterinary salaries are production bases and are competitive for our area. We will tell you right up front that we cannot compete with the salaries that specialists can command in the Bay area or southern California, but we feel that our life style and our practice environment more than compensate for this differential.
