Veterinary Surgeon - Advanced Veterinary Specialists (Santa Barbara, CA)

Advanced Veterinary Specialists in beautiful Santa Barbara is looking to add a residency-trained or Board-Certified Surgeon to our growing, highly collaborative specialty team.

AVS has a strong reputation along California's Central Coast for delivering high-quality, compassionate care. Our team includes ER doctors, a strong Critical Care team, and a growing specialty presence, all supported by an exceptional, highly trained nursing staff. With dedicated OR space and a steadily growing caseload, this is a unique opportunity to build and shape the surgical service in a market with no other boarded surgeons in the immediate area.

What truly sets AVS apart is the culture. This is a collegial, "we've got each other's backs" environment. The team prioritizes taking care of one another just as much as their patients and clients. The pace is intentional and elevated: boutique, white-glove medicine with a diverse and highly dedicated client base.

And then there's the lifestyle. Santa Barbara offers that rare mix of coastal beauty and laid-back sophistication. Think ocean views, mountain backdrops, world-class wine, and yes…whale watching on your days off. It's a place where you can genuinely live where others vacation, with a slower pace, strong sense of community, and easy access to Los Angeles just 1.5-2 hours away. Whether you're raising a family or just ready for a change of pace, this is a lifestyle upgrade.

What we offer:

• Competitive base salary ($200,000-$250,000+) with a ProSal salary model.
• Sign-on and relocation bonuses
• Flexible scheduling
• Comprehensive benefits (medical, dental, vision, 401k with match)
• Robust CE and professional development through Ethos Learning & Development

If you're looking for a place where you can do meaningful work, build something, and enjoy where you live, we'd love to connect.

Please reach out to Jake Osborn at [email protected] for more information.
