Who We Are:
Veterinary Eye Center is a specialty hospital devoted entirely to advanced animal eye care. Since opening in 2021 under the leadership of Founding Medical Director Dr. LoPinto, we’ve built something special in New York City: a practice where exceptional medicine, thoughtful client communication, and true team collaboration guide everything we do. Here, state-of-the-art diagnostics meet microsurgical precision and a meticulous approach to ophthalmology. The result is a hospital where clinical excellence, professional growth, and supportive teamwork always remain in 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.
