Our three hospitals, VCA Lewis, VCA Columbia Animal Hospital at Centre Park and VCA Columbia Animal Hospital at Hickory Ridge are looking for a relief doctor to travel between these hospitals (and maybe others) to cover when our full time doctors are out of the office!

Each of these hospitals has a hospital team that operates well together. The teams genuinely look forward to coming to work with their friends. The hospitals are AAHA certified, Feline Friendly practices, with most of the associates being Fear-Free certified as well!

We are full service small animal practices for puppies, kittens, dogs and cats. We also partner with local shelters, such as BARCS and MDSPCA, and participate in local events for the community.
