Whether you're stepping in as an Associate Veterinarian or taking on leadership as a Managing Veterinarian, this is your chance to thrive-with no on-call responsibilities.
Why East River Stands Out
Our newly renovated facility is more than just a clinic-it's a community hub where high-quality medicine meets genuine connection. With amenities like luxury pet boarding and advanced surgical dental suites, we've created an environment where veterinarians can do their best work and feel truly supported.

Life in New Glasgow
With riverside trails, community festivals, and a welcoming atmosphere, New Glasgow offers the perfect blend of natural beauty and small-town charm. Whether you're hiking along the river, exploring local shops, or enjoying the vibrant arts scene, life outside the clinic is just as fulfilling.
