Urgent Care Veterinarian - Old Orchard

At Scout, it is important that each clinic provides excellent care, sustains a healthy culture and is supported to deliver the Scout experience. As an urgent care doctor at Scout, you will be a key part of our team.

Scout doctors manage approximately 10-18 patients daily, with the excitement varying based on case volume. Your expertise will be put to the test, handling cases that span from routine last-minute care to more intricate cases that require in-house diagnostics, treatments, and nursing care. The heartbeat of our caseload lies in true urgent care cases and stable emergencies.

Scout equips our teams with all the tools to thoroughly assess and stabilize any patient that comes through our doors. While overnight hospitalization and major surgeries are not in our playbook, minor procedures are common, bringing challenge, variety, and excitement to each day.

Recognizing that urgent care is often just the initial chapter in a pet's medical narrative, Scout takes pride in empowering our doctors to explore the comprehensive answers our patients and clients both need and deserve. We actively foster robust relationships with referral partners to ensure our doctors have a wealth of resources at their fingertips when pets and clients require assistance beyond the bounds of Scout's doors.
