Professional life: We are small enough to maintain a friendly family atmosphere, yet large enough to be able to provide the infrastructure needed to enable our doctors to be able to practice high quality medicine and surgery.

The management is committed to providing the things needed to practice high quality medicine and surgery including staff and equipment. We expect production adequate to cover the cost of services and to be able to afford to pay a good salary. In return we do our best to maintain an enjoyable work environment.

Personal life: Clarkston is a very nice small city located in an area with a mild climate in close proximity to myriad of outdoor treasures. It is a very family-oriented location with good schools, good medical access, and unlimited outdoor recreational opportunities.
We are in the far south east corner of Washington State. Between Clarkston and its sister city of Lewiston, Idaho immediately across the river the population is roughly 60,000; we service a total population area of over 100,000 including the surrounding communities. We are 30 minutes from Pullman, WA and Moscow, ID which are home to Washington State University and the University of Idaho respectively.

Being that close to two major universities in addition to two smaller colleges in the LC Valley opens up a myriad of opportunities. This includes educational and cultural opportunities for us and our families and staff. We are a teaching arm for clinical studies at WSU, and every year we participate in clinical instruction of several 4th year preceptors from the College of Veterinary Medicine at WSU. This keeps us connected to the University and helps give us access to the expertise and services available at a teaching hospital. We have recently started utilizing the Teaching Hospital as a backup for our after-hours emergency services.

We are located 2 hours from the beautiful wine country of Walla Walla, WA; 2 hours from Spokane WA; and a 5-hour drive to the Portland or Seattle metropolitan areas. There are also abundant outdoor activities available in the local area including hunting, fishing, water sports, skiing, etc. The area is often mentioned as a "Sportsman's Paradise", and is frequently mentioned as one of the best small cities in the country in which to live and raise a family
