Urgent Care Veterinarian Wanted – Love Emergency Medicine but Hate the Lifestyle? 

At River Oaks Animal Hospital, we built something a little different.

We are a growing hybrid General Practice + Urgent Care hospital located in beautiful Myrtle Beach, South Carolina — and we’ve developed a reputation for being one of the best veterinary hospitals in the area. Because of that reputation, our urgent care department has grown, and we are looking for an additional veterinarian to join our Urgent Care team.

This is the perfect opportunity for a doctor who:

• Loves the adrenaline and variety of urgent/emergency medicine

• Enjoys procedures, diagnostics, and medical workups

• Thrives in a fast-paced environment

• BUT… does not want overnights, weekends, or soul-crushing ER schedules

What Makes This Position Different?

NO:

❌ Overnight shifts
❌ Weekend hours
❌ On-call responsibilities
❌ Corporate quotas
❌ 12–14 hour ER marathons

YES:

✅ Urgent cases and medical variety
✅ Supportive, highly trained team
✅ Modern medicine and diagnostics
✅ Work-life balance
✅ Actually leaving work at a reasonable hour

Our hospital closes at 5:30 PM daily, and we are closed on weekends and major holidays.

You get to practice high-quality urgent care medicine while still having dinner with your family, sleeping in your own bed every night, and enjoying your life outside of work.
