Description

Practice Overview

Goodlettsville Animal Hospital is proud to be a well-established practice in a great community!

Our 5-doctor team utilizes multiple exam rooms, a full lab and in-house pharmacy, digital radiology, ultrasound, and more to provide top level care to our companion animal patients. We're a busy practice with a well-established name in the community, and we look forward to continuing our legacy for years to come!

More about the Role

We're anticipating a retirement at the beginning of 2026, so a doctor who loves surgery and dentistry, in addition to wellness/sick cases will thrive in our practice! We have a big, bright updated building that allows you to practice your best medicine. And our well-trained staff is ready to support you in rooms and surgery, with inhouse labs, ultrasound and updated diagnostic equipment.

An experienced doctor is preferred to round out our doctor team since we need your expertise in surgery and dentistry. We typically work 10-hour shifts, so 3 or 4 days per week will work for us! This position will not start until after Jan 1, 2026; we just can't accommodate anyone sooner.

About the area: Located just 12 miles from downtown Nashville, Goodlettsville has a little something for everyone including award winning parks and walking trails, antique shops and specialty boutiques, historic Mansker's Station, and unique restaurants and eateries. From Goodlettsville, you're within a days drive of so much to explore!
