Description
Build a Premier Surgery Service at Dogwood Veterinary Specialty & Emergency
Are you a board-certified or board-eligible Veterinary Surgeon (DACVS or residency-trained) looking for a career-defining opportunity in a collaborative, veterinarian-owned specialty hospital?
Dogwood Veterinary Specialty & Emergency in Marietta, GA is growing and we’re expanding into a brand-new, 20,000+ sq ft, state-of-the-art specialty and emergency hospital in Dunwoody, GA opening Fall 2026. This is a rare opportunity to help shape the future of a high-level veterinary surgery service in Metro Atlanta.
Why This Veterinary Surgery Opportunity Stands Out
- Build & Lead a Surgery Service
- Be a key leader in the growth and development of our surgery department as we expand into our multi-million-dollar Dunwoody facility.
- Help influence equipment selection, protocols, case flow, and team structure.
- Practice high-quality, referral-level medicine with the support and autonomy you deserve.
- Exceptional Specialty & ER Collaboration:
- You’ll work alongside an experienced, supportive team including:
- 5 Board-Certified Criticalists (DACVECCs) providing daily ICU and ER support.
- Additional Surgeons, Anesthesiologist, and Surgical Resident for complex and advanced procedures.
- Internal Medicine available five days per week.
- 7 full-time Emergency DVMs, including a certified palliative care provider.
- This collaborative environment allows you to focus on surgery while knowing your patients receive exceptional, comprehensive care.

Compensation, Benefits & Professional Freedom
- Highly competitive ProSal compensation model with no negative accrual.
- No non-compete clause — your career and future remain fully yours.
- 120 hours of PTO annually, plus 4 dedicated CE days.
- $5,000 annual CE allowance.
- Licensing, DEA, and professional dues covered.
- Comprehensive health and wellness benefits.
- Veterinarian-Owned & Clinician-Led
Dogwood is proudly veterinarian-owned and operated by Drs. Agda Tamassia and Andre Shih, ensuring a clinician-first culture where medical excellence, respect, and sustainability come first.
Equity & Ownership Opportunities - for surgeons seeking long-term growth, equity and ownership opportunities are available. We believe leaders should share in the success they help build.
