The Hometown Veterinarian Difference

Mayo Clinic meets Chick-fil-A meets Cheers

What is The Hometown Veterinarian Difference? We hold ourselves to a high standard of medical care, deliver an exceptional client experience, and create a workplace where relationships matter—with both clients and each other.


How We Practice Medicine

We don’t cut corners—ever.

  • Every surgical patient receives IV fluids and electronic monitoring

  • In-house lab, digital radiography, and dental radiographs
  • Surgical laser and advanced pain management options
  • Opportunities for orthopedic and soft tissue surgery
  • Ultrasound, acupuncture, and expanding capabilities

You’ll have the autonomy and support to pursue your interests—whether that’s surgery, dentistry, internal medicine, or advanced therapies.


Your Team

You’ll be supported by a highly trained, collaborative team that allows you to focus on medicine—not chaos.

  • Skilled technicians and assistants who anticipate your needs
  • A culture of communication, respect, and shared problem-solving
  • Mentorship available for new graduates
  • Experienced colleagues who value your input

We genuinely enjoy working together, and it shows in how we care for our patients and clients.

  • Mentorship tailored to your experience level
  • Opportunities to develop surgical, medical, or specialized interests
  • Continuing education supported and encouraged

You won’t be left to figure things out on your own—but you also won’t be held back from growing.

  • Competitive salary with no production pressure or negative accrual
  • Retention bonuses as you grow with our team
  • 401(k) with employer match
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Generous paid time off
  • Continuing education allowance and paid CE days
  • Paid licensing and professional dues (AVMA, IVMA, DEA, etc.)
  • Relocation assistance available
  • Flexible scheduling to support work-life balance

Life in Marshalltown

Marshalltown offers affordable living, strong schools, and a welcoming, diverse community—without the stress of big-city living.

Big enough for opportunity. Small enough to feel like home.
