Veterinarian

Be Part of Something Special in the Heart of DC

Bring your experience. Grow your skills. Make your mark at Livewell NoMA.

Livewell Animal Hospital of NoMA is growing, and we're looking for an Associate Veterinarian who wants more than a place to practice. This is an opportunity to join an evolving hospital, collaborate with an experienced founding veterinarian, and help shape the next chapter of a practice built around thoughtful medicine, strong client relationships, and a supportive team culture.

Led by Dr. John von Kieckebusch, Livewell NoMA offers an environment where clinical experience is valued, ideas are welcomed, and veterinarians have the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to the hospital's continued growth. Whether you're an experienced veterinarian ready for a new chapter or a recent graduate looking for strong mentorship and a thoughtful start to your career, we'd love to meet you.

Practice with purpose. Grow with a team that values your perspective.

Dr. John brings a strong medical foundation and a range of clinical interests, including cardiology, surgery, dentistry, and dermatology, along with advanced ultrasound training. Working alongside him, you'll have the opportunity to exchange ideas, discuss cases, and contribute your own experience and interests to the team's approach to patient care.

For new graduates, we're committed to providing mentorship, hands-on guidance, and opportunities for collaborative case discussions so you can build confidence and develop your clinical skills. For experienced veterinarians, this is a chance to bring your expertise to a growing practice, pursue your clinical interests, and have a meaningful voice in the hospital's continued development.

You'll also partner with Hospital Manager Jay Fountain, whose extensive veterinary-field experience—including a background in surgery—brings a practical understanding of the people and processes that make a hospital successful. Together, the leadership team is focused on creating an environment where excellent medicine, continued learning, and a positive team experience go hand in hand.

As Livewell NoMA continues to grow, your contribution will extend beyond the appointments on your schedule. You'll have the opportunity to build lasting relationships with clients, help strengthen the hospital's medical culture, and play an active role in the direction of a growing practice.
