Veterinary Practice Manager Jobs in Sacramento, CA at Kokopelli Veterinary Center
Job Overview
Kokopelli Veterinary Center is a growing, independent practice in a modern, new hospital on a beautiful campus with lots of room for the future. Our hospital was designed with community outreach and calming influences in mind, with native outdoor gardens, water features, natural lighting, live indoor plants, aquaria, hospitality areas, and all surrounded by art from local artists exploring the human animal bond. We have a collaboration with a local shelter to help adopt kitties and donate funds to a local, grassroots non-profit benefiting homeless pets.
Our practice started 8 years ago focused on reproductive health and we have the only two board-certified theriogenologists serving small animal patients in Northern California. This clientele is dedicated to the health of their animals and strives to produce the healthiest puppies and kittens possible. It is their passion and ours. From this foundation, we also offer the full range of general practice medicine and surgery, making us a true “cradle to grave” family veterinary service.
Our practice features all the typical modern tools: digital radiography, dental suite, laparoscopy, AI transcriptional medical records, VetSnap for controlled substances, EzyVet PIMS, ultrasound, full lab and surgery capabilities. We have a chiropractor certified in animal therapy and active collaborative services with boarded surgeons, cardiologist, ophthalmologist, and nutritionist, all of whom regularly consult with or visit our campus. For all other specialty services we have fostered excellent relationships with multiple local referral hospitals. We have 3-4 support staff for each veterinarian.
