Associate Veterinarians who share our commitment to teamwork, quality medicine, and pet parent education. Here’s what we’re looking for:
Are you a veterinarian that is a compassionate team player? Do you have a passion for practicing quality veterinary medicine? Are you committed to maximizing time with pet parents, educating them to provide excellent care for their beloved pets?
If so, we want to hear from you! New Graduates are encouraged to apply!About Our Team:
Chandler Small Animal Clinic is a growing canine and feline companion animal practice which has been serving Chandler and the southern central Phoenix communities for over 35 years. Dr. Dwight Benesh started his practice in 1986 and desires to retire in the next few years and transfer his committed pet parents to new associates. We look forward to welcoming additional veterinarians who want to join our family of dedicated team members and encourage them to develop their areas of special interest.
Our team includes Dr. Benesh, Dr. Shaird, several regular relief veterinarians, our practice manager, customer service representatives, and several pet nurses and kennel attendants. Our team works in a collaborative and supportive way to help maximize the effectiveness and success of our practice for the good of our pet parents, their cherished pets, and ourselves. Our hours of operation are 8 am -6 pm, Monday through Friday with zero on call.
We have a well-equipped clinic including Avimark software, digital radiology with radiologists’ interpretation, digital dental radiology, ultrasound, in-house lab equipment and a Phovia light therapy unit. We regularly work with board certified specialists who help make the highest level of care and expertise readily available to our pet parents and patients. Our booking schedule is variable depending on the nature of the pet visit. Tasks that can be delegated to support staff are booked separately from veterinarian visits. We use advanced AI Technology that completes your SOAP notes in a timely and organized manner, giving you the time to focus more on pet families and leave the office on time.
No taking work home or staying after hours!Community Outreach:
Our commitment to pets extends beyond our hospital walls, though events in our local community. Annually, we participate in Toys for Tots. We work hand in hand with the following rescues: Friends for life rescue of Arizona, Arizona Animal Welfare, and Boxers Luv AZ.
WE are fully committed to the well-being of our team members:We recognize that the veterinary profession can be demanding and stressful, impacting both our work and personal lives. To prevent burnout, depression, and other challenges, we have to take care of each other, and this is one way we want to show you that we truly care about you!
One way we give back to our team is by offering them an opportunity to join this very unique CE Retreat set in the lush Blue Zone jungle of Costa Rica!
During these retreats, you’ll learn relaxation techniques, self-care strategies, and resilience skills from veterinary well-being experts. Our program includes 10 RACE-approved credits to enhance your professional effectiveness and happiness. Additionally, we introduce veterinarian acupuncture.
