We started ArkVets because we believed veterinary medicine could be practiced differently in hospitals where doctors are trusted techs are developed and clients are told the truth about their pets care without being pressured into it. Were locally and family owned three hospitals across Metro Phoenix and we intend to stay that way.

Were not a chain. Were not a rollup. Theres no regional VP flying in with a new script. When somethings broken you can tell the owner directly shell answer. When something works it becomes part of how we practice everywhere.

That independence is the point. Its what lets us do fear-free-inspired medicine as the default keep estimates transparent protect our doctors from burnout and invest in the equipment and the people who make good medicine possible.

North Phoenix is our newest hospital purpose-built two years ago as our largest and most fully equipped location. We sit at the intersection of the 51 and 101 easily accessible from Desert Ridge Moon Valley Deer Valley and Paradise Valley.

Our clients here are upscale engaged and expect excellent medicine and they invest in it. That combination matters: it means the medicine you want to practice is the medicine your clients want you to practice.

The building is 8600 square feet with two large surgery suites a separate contagious-disease area a special-purpose room endoscopy on-site digital radiography ultrasound Ligasure and a Class IV therapy laser. If youve been waiting for a well-designed hospital with the room and the equipment to grow the medicine this is it.

Youll be both a practicing DVM and the clinical leader of the hospital.

On the practice side: around 18 appointments per day on your clinical days with 12 surgery days per week based on your preference. General practice mixed with dedicated urgent care.

On the leadership side: you set the standard of medicine for the hospital mentor junior doctors and techs contribute to protocols across all three ArkVets locations and partner directly with ownership on how the practice grows. The other two ArkVets hospitals have medical directors already youre joining a peer group not carrying the whole medical-leadership load alone.

Our default is low-stress fear-free-inspired care but we run urgent care too and we wont pretend a scared actively bleeding patient at 4:45 always gets the slow cookies-first workup. Honesty about the work is part of the culture.

No mandatory on-call. If a shift needs coverage we ask we dont require. Doctors choose whether to say yes.

Three things matter to us as a team and theyre the honest filter for whether youll thrive here:

We Do the Right Thing. We serve with integrity exceed expectations and intend to leave our profession better than we found it.

We Make Magic Happen. We take care of each other. Our energy changes lives humans and pets both.

We Have Contagious Curiosity. We seek to grow. We value professional development. We take an active role in making the workplace better.

A medical director here isnt a title bolted onto a clinical schedule. Its a partnership with ownership on the future of the practice.
