Veterinarian - Randall Oaks Animal Hospital
Randall Oaks Animal Hospital
Veterinarian job in Carpentersville, IL
Practice
Randall Oaks Animal Hospital opened in June of 2002 and encompasses many years of veterinary experience. Our veterinarians strive to keep your pet healthy through preventative care and the compassion we show toward pets and their owners at all times.
We are proud to serve the communities of Carpentersville, East and West Dundee, Algonquin, Elgin, Huntley, and surrounding areas. We are open Monday through Saturday.
More about the Role
At Randall Oaks Animal Hospital in Carpentersville, IL we're looking to add a full-time or part-time veterinarian to our team! We are currently a two-doctor, small animal practice that opened our doors in 2002. We're lucky to have a support staff that is loyal to our practice and clients, and most have been with us for over 10 years. Even at our busiest, we maintain a casual and relaxed work environment!
Our doctors' clinical interests include internal medicine, general surgery and dentistry to name a few. We welcome any new or recent graduates, and are happy to provide a strong mentorship program. Our current patients consist of dogs and cats, although we're open to adding exotic species if you have an interest. For any DVMs that enjoy shelter medicine, we partner with a local foster-based rescue and help with examinations weekly.
Although we're currently in a small store-front location, we have plans later this year to expand our facility to give us more room to practice, so you could be in on the development of those plans!
About the area: Carpentersville is a scenic community right along the Fox River in northern IL. It has a large concentration of parks and forest preserves which have created a lot of beauty and nature within the area. We are an incredibly upbeat community with affordable housing, successful businesses, and great school systems. We are part of the ‘Golden Corridor', named after the area's decades of development and success. The diversity and energy offered by the community prove it to be a great place for any family to grow!
