Veterinary Eye Centers are New York City's first specialty practice group dedicated exclusively to advanced animal eye care. Under the leadership of our Founding Medical Director, Dr. LoPinto, our newest location in Park Slope, Brooklyn is built on the same foundation that defines our current practices in other boroughs: exceptional medicine, thoughtful client communication, and a deeply collaborative team culture. Our practice brings together state-of-the-art diagnostics, microsurgical expertise, and a meticulous approach to ophthalmology, all delivered with compassion and clarity. As we expand to Brooklyn, we're focused on building a specialty hospital where clinical excellence, professional growth, and supportive teamwork are always in clear focus.
We're proud to be part of a small but growing movement to raise the bar for both patient care and workplace culture. At VEC, you'll find a schedule designed with balance in mind, a leadership team that listens, and a spirit of innovation that keeps us constantly evolving. Whether you're drawn to the precision and complexity of ophthalmological surgery, the chance to work in a highly specialized field, or simply the opportunity to be part of a kind and passionate team, VEC is a place to thrive.
We are seeking an experienced and intellectually curious Licensed Veterinary Technician to join our growing team. As a member of the ophthalmology team, you will be actively involved in both appointments and daily surgical procedures. Our Technicians run appointments and manage anesthesia for surgical patients from start to finish including making anesthesia plans, inducing and recovering, and anesthesia monitoring.
