Build a Career You’ll Love at Tidewater

Tidewater Veterinary Hospital is looking for a small-animal veterinarian to join our team in Charlotte Hall, Maryland. We welcome veterinarians seeking either a full-time or part-time opportunity, with the flexibility to shape your caseload around your interests and professional goals.

Here, you’ll join a team of veterinarians and staff who genuinely support one another. Collaboration, open communication, and compassionate care are part of how we practice every day—especially when cases get challenging.

Our recently renovated and expanded hospital offers modern medical technology and updated in-house equipment to support efficient diagnostics, thoughtful treatment recommendations, and high-quality patient care. Our associates also value Tidewater’s strong staff-to-doctor ratio, surgical variety, professional autonomy, and collaborative environment.

A Schedule That Respects Your Life

We believe quality medicine shouldn’t come at the expense of a sustainable career.

Your schedule offers flexibility and is managed with you, rather than around pressure to prioritize appointment volume over quality of care. Small-animal veterinarians are not required to be on call.

Whether you’re building your career or bringing years of experience with you, we want you to have room to grow, pursue your interests, and practice medicine with confidence.

Compensation & Benefits

Our ProSal compensation model starts with a generous base salary and offers additional earning potential without negative accrual.

Benefits include:

  • Retirement plan with profit sharing and a 3% Safe Harbor 401(k) employer contribution
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Long-term disability coverage
  • Professional liability coverage
  • Paid professional dues and license fees
  • Continuing education budget
  • Paid CE time
  • Paid holidays and time off
  • Generous employee pet benefits
  • Scrubs allowance
  • Relocation expense assistance
  • Sign-on bonus
  • Assistance identifying local housing options and resources for those relocating

And there’s more. We’re happy to talk through the details and help you understand what a career with Tidewater could look like for you.

Who We’re Looking For

Our ideal candidate:

  • Holds a DVM or equivalent degree and is eligible for veterinary licensure in Maryland
  • Is committed to continuing to build their experience and abilities while helping others grow
  • Values lasting, mutually supportive relationships
  • Communicates clearly and kindly with clients and coworkers
  • Wants to be part of a collaborative, flexible, and evolving veterinary practice

Life in St. Mary’s County

There’s plenty to enjoy beyond the hospital, too. St. Mary’s County offers easy access to the Chesapeake Bay, rivers, beaches, parks, and trails, along with the history and communities that make Southern Maryland such a distinctive place to call home.

You’ll also be within convenient reach of Washington, DC, Annapolis, and Virginia—giving you the opportunity to enjoy a more relaxed outdoor lifestyle without feeling disconnected from larger cities.
