Uptown Animal Hospital, located in Andersonville on the North Side of Chicago, is looking for an experienced full-time Associate Veterinarian to join our team! For doctors interested in a leadership role, we are also looking for a medical lead.

About our clinic: Uptown Animal Hospital is a full-service, progressive small animal general practice. Our hospital is well-established in the community and has been serving Cook County since the 1960s. Our two medical leads, Dr. Kathy Tyler and Dr. Jim Dickes, have created a supportive, collaborative practice where people truly enjoy coming to work. Many of our employees (veterinarians, manager, and support staff) started here 20+ years ago and never left! Our doctors routinely review lab work, radiographs, and challenging cases and have rounds twice a day to ensure the best patient care possible. We are also lucky to be in an affluent neighborhood, so most of our clients are well-educated, able to do full work ups, and follow recommendations.

Our hospital is fully equipped with an in-house lab, digital radiographs, digital dental radiographs, and surgery and dental suites. Most of our doctors are comfortable with routine and advanced soft tissue surgeries and we perform surgeries 4 days/week. Our orthopedic cases are referred to specialists in the area. Pre-op lab work, IV catheters, and pain management are required for every patient and they are closely monitored by our amazing support staff. We are adequately staffed with technicians, so all our doctors are supported each day. If there is an area of veterinary medicine you are interested in, our team would gladly welcome any new services or equipment and would encourage any continuing education.

Uptown is open 6 days a week, Monday through Saturday, with a ½ day on Wednesdays. Our schedule has built in breaks to allow for lunch, finishing records, and doing call backs. Our doctors work a 3 ½ day work week and rotate Saturdays, which allows for a great work/life balance and time to explore the amazing city of Chicago!

About Andersonville: We are located in Andersonville, a neighborhood on the North Side of Chicago just north of Wrigleyville. Andersonville is an incredibly inclusive neighborhood and one of the best places to live in Illinois!  It was initially a small village of Swedish immigrants and is still one of the most concentrated areas of Swedish culture in the US. The Swedish heritage is celebrated annually with events like St. Lucia Festival of Lights and Midsommarfest. Clark Street is filled with locally owned shops, restaurants from around the world, antique stores, and coffee shops. Treat yourself to mussels and one of 60+ beers on tap at Hopleaf, stop by the speakeasy, Simon’s Tavern, for some seasonal glögg, spiced mulled wine, or grab some freshly baked pita bread, baklava, and a falafel sandwich at Middle East Bakery and Grocery. Furthermore, Andersonville is a very safe, friendly neighborhood with highly rated schools, great parks, and easy access to public transportation. Kathy Osterman and Foster Beach are both a mile away, offering easy access to Lake Michigan.
