Come Grow With Us at Live Oak Veterinary Specialists – Opening September 2026!
Urgent Care Veterinarian – Evening & Weekend Coverage
Live Oak Veterinary Specialists (LOVS) in Savannah, Georgia is expanding — and we’re looking for passionate Urgent Care/ER veterinarians to help us build the next chapter of our emergency and specialty medicine program.
LOVS isn’t new to the scene. We’ve proudly served Savannah for the past 10 years, offering cutting-edge neurology and cardiology care with compassion at our core. Now, we’re growing into a state-of-the-art facility and expanding our services to include emergency/critical care and additional specialties.
The Schedule
We’re specifically looking for Urgent Care/ER veterinarians interested in evening and weekend coverage while we continue building our overnight emergency team.
Hours:
Monday–Friday: 5:00 PM–Midnight
Saturday–Sunday: 7:00 PM–Midnight
This schedule is designed for veterinarians who enjoy emergency and urgent care medicine and want the opportunity to practice in a busy specialty hospital — without committing to a traditional overnight schedule.
Why You’ll Love LOVS
We’re Independent (and proud of it!) – No corporate overlords here. You’ll have medical autonomy, a voice in shaping our hospital, and the freedom to practice the way you were trained.
Pet-Centric, People-First – We hire culture-first because medicine is better when the team truly enjoys working together. Collaboration and compassion are daily habits here.
Work to Live, Not Live to Work – Our evening/weekend coverage model gives you meaningful ER experience while avoiding a traditional overnight schedule.
Playful but Professional – We take our medicine seriously, but not ourselves. Expect high standards, belly laughs, and maybe the occasional pun.
