A Career That Makes a Difference

After 15 years in private practice, Dr. Lindsay Wilson joined the SF SPCA because she wanted to be part of a team that’s making veterinary care more accessible for pets and their families throughout San Francisco. Today, she combines her passion for feline medicine with programs that expand access to care, including spay/neuter and Trap-Neuter-Return for community cats. If you’re looking for a collaborative team where you can grow your career while making a meaningful impact, we’d love to meet you. Explore our open veterinary positions or share them with someone in your network.
