At Montclair Pet Hospital, we’re looking for a Clinical Director who’s not only an exceptional veterinarian but also a natural mentor, collaborator, and motivator.

This is your opportunity to guide a passionate and growing team in one of Oakland’s most charming neighborhoods — where small-town warmth meets big-city access.

We also have separate surgical and dental suites, ultrasound, and a strong support team eager to grow and learn — many say it's the best team they've ever worked with.

• Lead by example in delivering exceptional patient care
• Coach, support, and elevate fellow veterinarians and support staff
