Launch your veterinary career somewhere that actually accelerates it.

LBC Vets is seeking an ambitious new graduate veterinarian who wants more than a traditional general practice experience.

We are a rapidly growing hybrid general practice + urgent care hospital in Long Beach, California, built for veterinarians who want to practice meaningful medicine, develop clinical confidence quickly, and be part of a high-performing team that is building something exceptional.

This is not a “see vaccines all day” first job. Our doctors manage a broad spectrum of cases—from preventative care and routine medicine to urgent and emergency presentations, advanced diagnostics, dentistry, surgery, internal medicine workups, and medically challenging cases that demand critical thinking and real clinical growth.

If you’re the kind of doctor who wants to become exceptionally capable—not just comfortable—you’ll thrive here.
