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

  • 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.
