Our Urgent Care service runs parallel to and is located just across the way from our 24/7 ER and Specialty clinic which houses ER/ECC, Surgery, and Internal Medicine and serves 3-4 hour radius including Oregon, California, Nevada, and Idaho. We have a highly trained and dedicated support staff of CVTs and VAs, full kennel support, and highly trained liaison services to ensure the success of our doctors and the practice as a whole.

Our hospital culture emphasizes continuous learning, growth, and innovation while maintaining an atmosphere of respect, support, and fun. We encourage high level medical training, wellness and communication coaching, and community CE events through our new Regional Training Center. In our downtime we have clinic-facilitated outdoor adventure club activities, crafting club, game nights, and more!

Central Point is nestled within the Rogue Valley and is part of the Greater Medford area including the cities of Grants Pass, Rogue River, Jacksonville, Central Point, Medford, Phoenix, Talent, and Ashland. It is within driving distance of Portland, Reno, Bend, Tahoe, and San Francisco, as well as the Pacific coastline and there is an International Airport just down the road from the clinic for even more options.

This is an excellent opportunity for a veterinarian who enjoys outdoor activities and seeks work-life balance. The Rogue Valley is a gorgeous area to work and live with many recreational opportunities such as kayaking, fishing, camping, hiking, rockhounding, mountain and road biking, trail running, and winter sports such as skiing and snowshoeing. Wineries and lavender farms dot the hillsides and weekdays and weekends come with a myriad of farmers market options. Ashland’s Shakespeare Theater and Jacksonville’s Britt Music Festival are national-level cultural events right in our backyard.
