Spay/Neuter Veterinarian – Santa Rosa, CA
Looking for a role that lets you focus on what you love — surgery — without the appointment overload of general practice? This Santa Rosa opening is a dedicated, high-volume spay/neuter position (30–35 procedures a day, including pediatric, pregnant, and cryptorchid cases), backed by a highly trained support team, efficient anesthetic protocols, and Fear-Free handling practices.
It’s also a great fit for anyone passionate about accessible care: the role is described as ideal for veterinarians who “want to step away from appointment overload or corporate pressures” and are “passionate about giving back — making care accessible regardless of a client’s financial situation.” Add in a competitive salary ($150K–$165K), generous time off, minimal on-call demands, and a home base just north of San Francisco in wine country, and this one’s worth a look.
