About this role
Lakefield Veterinary Group is recruiting experienced veterinarians for Medical Director and leadership roles across their Phoenix-area hospitals. Rather than filling a single defined position, they're seeking to build relationships with strong clinical leaders first, then match them with the right hospital based on individual goals and practice philosophy. This approach suggests flexibility in placement and a genuine interest in long-term fit over quick hiring.
The role centers on clinical leadership, mentorship, and shaping hospital culture alongside hands-on veterinary practice. You'd have autonomy in medical decision-making while supported by a family-owned organization, with opportunities to develop your team and influence how your hospital operates. The compensation structure includes production-based pay, leadership incentives, CE allowance, and professional development support.
This opportunity suits veterinarians with established clinical credibility and genuine interest in mentoring who value both autonomy and organizational backing. If you're looking for a leadership track that prioritizes cultural fit and allows you to help build something rather than simply stepping into an existing role, this initial conversation with Lakefield could be worth exploring.
