Description
Vet-Owned. People-First.
Join a rockstar team just minutes from downtown Cincinnati.
AcutePet Urgent Care in Bellevue, Kentucky is growing - and we’re looking for additional DVMs to complement a team that’s already doing exceptional work.
If you’re looking for a hospital where:
- The team genuinely enjoys working together
- The pace is energized but sustainable
- The medicine is strong
- And leadership actually understands veterinary life
You’ll want to keep reading.
Why Bellevue?
Tucked just across the river from downtown Cincinnati, Bellevue offers the best of both worlds.
Our hospital sits along The Avenue in historic Bellevue - surrounded by locally owned coffee shops, cozy restaurants, and craft breweries. It’s walkable. It’s vibrant. It has personality.
You can finish your shift and be downtown in minutes - or stay local and grab dinner where the bartender already knows your name.
Small-town heartbeat. City access. Real community.
Why This Role Is Different
Bellevue isn’t a startup. It’s a thriving urgent care location with strong team chemistry, growing demand, and a reputation in the community.
We’re hiring because the caseload supports it - and because we want to protect the sustainability of our team as we grow.
You’ll practice emergency-level medicine in an urgent care setting, seeing cases like:
- Lacerations and minor trauma
- GI workups and obstruction rule-outs
- Toxin ingestions
- Acute illness and stabilization
- Urgent diagnostics
All without overnights or major holidays.
Who This Is Built For
This opportunity is ideal for:
- ER doctors ready to step away from overnight intensity while still practicing high-level medicine
- Experienced GPs looking to expand their diagnostic confidence
- Confident newer grads who value mentorship and collaboration
You’ll be supported by experienced Managing Veterinarians and leadership that includes a board-certified criticalist as Chief Medical Officer.
We believe in autonomy with backup. Confidence with collaboration.

- Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (or equivalent)
- All experience levels welcome
- Interest in urgent care or emergency-style diagnostics
- Strong clinical reasoning and thoughtful patient care
- Clear, compassionate client communication
What We Offer
- Competitive base salary with 25% production pay (whichever is greater), no negative accrual
