- Board Certified Small Animal Surgeon
Description
Interested in something different? A position in which you are a partner in decisions, not a cog in the wheel of corporate greed? There are ample job offers for qualified surgeons all over the country. These offers come with promises of collegiality, compassionate care, and “state of the art” equipment. We offer the same, with the opportunity to live, and work, where others vacation. Veterinary Surgery and Sports Medicine of the Gorge (VSSG) is a boutique (mostly orthopedic) surgery practice. We provide specialty surgical services and rehabilitation for small animals in the Columbia River Gorge and Pacific Northwest region.

Oregon, and Hood River, has it all: volcanoes, mountains, beaches, four seasons, great people, and recreation options of every flavor. Hiking, biking, camping, skiing, windsurfing, kite surfing, wing foiling, fishing, hunting – every activity you can imagine just out your back door. We are offering not just work-life balance, but an overall better life experience.
