Associate Veterinarian

Company Description

Bensonhurst Veterinary Care is a fantastic, small animal hospital in Brooklyn, NY and is the sister hospital to Greenwood Veterinary Care. Our goal as a practice is to deliver compassionate, high quality care to all of our patients. Our veterinary professionals achieve this by engaging in continuing education while always focusing on effective communication with our clients. This lends to consistent delivery of medically advanced, optimal treatment plans for each individual patient. We offer our patients exceptional services which include wellness and sick exams, vaccinations, diagnostic testing, surgical services, dental procedures, laser therapy, platelet rich plasma and stem cell therapy, behavior counseling, emergency services, and more.

We are located in Brooklyn, NY. The proximity to Manhattan makes for easy access to the incredible things that the big city has to offer, but still provides shelter and a more laid-back life in one of the outer boroughs. Popular activities in the area include the many local restaurants and bars, as well as being right next to Prospect Park which is an amazing public resource. There are countless local museums, entertainment options, and sporting events. The neighborhood has many different housing options -- from apartments to Victorian mansions (yes, in NYC!). It is a great place to enjoy a healthy and active work-life balance.
