VCA West Los Angeles Animal Hospital is excited to add a third Medical Oncologist to our team! Come join us at our state-of-the-art, 42,000 square foot facility where we focus on providing the utmost care, compassion and respect to our clients and patients in an atmosphere that promotes healing. We are proud of the positive culture in our practice, which results in easy collaboration between departments.

Along with our General Practice, we offer specialty services in Advanced Imaging, Anesthesiology, Behavior, Cardiology, Dentistry, Emergency/Critical Care, Internal Medicine, Neurology, Oncology, Radiation Oncology, Ophthalmology, Rehabilitation, Surgery, and Zoo Medicine. We maintain a strong culture of teaching in our hospital, with a large class of rotating and specialty interns, as well as residents in multiple specialties.

VCA West LA is at the forefront of technology, and we are fortunate to have clients who want to pursue advanced diagnostics. We have an onsite MRI, recently installed a 128 slice CT, are using high flow oxygen therapy, and have mechanical ventilation capabilities. We have a fully staffed and equipped Medical Oncology suite which includes our bone marrow transplant center. We also have a Radiation Oncology suite housing a new Trilogy Unit with Eclipse Software. In addition to our oncology department, we offer additional specialty services 7 days a week.

With the creation of VCA's Pet CancerCare Alliance™, you can be a part of a unique brain trust of over 65 veterinary oncologists and a network of over 35 Pet CancerCare Centers across North America. Our Medical, Radiation and Surgical Oncologists work together to bring advanced treatments, technology and education to all veterinarians by providing collaborative care, research, clinical trials and leadership to help ensure that pets are living their best possible lives.

Our hospital is located in beautiful west Los Angeles! You would be minutes away from wonderful hiking trails and beaches, and only an hour and a half from skiing or snowboarding in the mountains. As one of the largest, most dynamic, and most culturally diverse cities in the United States, Los Angeles and the surrounding areas are an amazing place to live and work. If you're thinking about relocating but don't know much about our lovely area, the L.A. experience is such that there are neighborhoods to fit any lifestyle, all in one place.
