Full TimeJob Overview
Elevate Your Career in Veterinary Neurology
Dogwood Veterinary Specialty & Emergency is expanding to the Atlanta (Dunwoody), GA area in 2026, and we are seeking an experienced Veterinary Neurology Technician to join our founding specialty team.
This is an advanced, specialty-level role designed for technicians who thrive in neurology, anesthesia, and high-acuity patient care. You’ll work alongside board-certified neurologists and specialty clinicians, supporting complex cases ranging from IVDD and seizures to intracranial surgery and advanced imaging.
This isn’t just another role—you’ll help build the neurology service from day one.

- Less red tape, more impact – a team built intentionally from the ground up
- Career acceleration – expand your skillset faster in a growing specialty environment
Dogwood is a leading referral-level specialty and emergency hospital, known for delivering advanced care in:
- Veterinary Neurology & Neurosurgery
- Emergency & Critical Care
- Advanced Anesthesia & Ventilator Management
- Diagnostic Imaging (MRI/CT)
- Complex Medical & Surgical Cases
What You’ll Actually Work On
- IVDD surgical cases and post-operative recovery
- Seizure management and neurologic emergency stabilization
- MRI/CT workflows and advanced diagnostic imaging
- Neurosurgical procedures and anesthesia monitoring
- Collaboration with ER on acute neurologic cases
Our Dunwoody location brings this same level of excellence to the greater Atlanta veterinary community.
