Why Ally Veterinary Specialty Center? 

At Ally Veterinary Specialty Center, we believe veterinary medicine could be different, so we made it. We're a woman-owned and led independent boutique center dedicated to providing exceptional, personalized care to pets and their owners. As an established specialty practice expanding into new disciplines, we're looking for a passionate oncologist ready to design their ideal practice. 

This is a rare opportunity: You won't just join a practice; you'll shape one from the ground up alongside an innovative leadership team and collaborative specialists in dermatology, ophthalmology, internal medicine, cardiology, neurology, and behavior. 

 

The Opportunity 

We are seeking a collaborative and entrepreneurial Veterinary Oncologist to launch and lead oncology services at Ally. Whether you're ready to begin in our current space or looking to transition over the coming months, you'll have a dedicated exam room and treatment space, with direct input on building your oncology program and diagnostic capabilities as we grow. 

This role is ideal for someone who: 

• Wants autonomy in designing their diagnostic approach, treatment protocols, and patient experience 

• Values a predictable schedule focused on oncology without emergency demands or hospitalization 

• Thrives in a collaborative, multi-disciplinary environment where you consult with other specialists 

• Seeks meaningful input on diagnostic equipment, treatment options, and team structure 

• Is passionate about delivering comprehensive oncology diagnostics and compassionate care 

• Is excited about building something from the ground up while contributing to the vision for our expanded future.

What Makes This Different

Your Own Oncology Practice

Diagnostic and Treatment-Based Practice Model 

As an out-patient specialty facility focused on oncology diagnostics and medical management, you'll enjoy: 

• Deep, thorough diagnostic consultations without rushed time constraints
