Looking for Something Different?

What if you could practice great medicine, have your Wednesdays and weekends off, AND learn acupuncture or herbal medicine without paying for it yourself?

Southlake Animal Hospital has been serving Merrillville since 1980 and is proudly privately owned. We combine strong conventional medicine with integrative therapies like acupuncture, chiropractic care, and Chinese herbal medicine — and were willing to train the right doctor.

You do NOT need to be certified in integrative medicine. You just need to be curious.

What This Role Looks Like

• 4-day schedule (no weekends)
• Collaborative support team (RVT + 8 staff)
• Routine surgery & dentistry
• No pressure for emergency surgery
• Mentorship available at your comfort level

We are prepared to hire additional support staff to ensure your success.

Why Doctors Stay

• Guaranteed midweek reset day
• CE + tuition support for integrative training
• 401(k) with match
• Health insurance
• Paid time off
  
• At-cost pet care
• Annual team retreat
• Partnership opportunities

Location Perks

Live near the Indiana Dunes and be less than an hour from Chicago — without Chicago's cost of living.

Ideal Fit

You might be a great fit if you:

• Want work-life balance without sacrificing income
• Are open to learning integrative medicine
• Prefer privately owned over corporate
• Value collaboration over competition

If you're even a little curious, lets talk.
