Veterinary Specialists Belong Here
The nation's first and only outpatient specialty network. AOSN unites veterinary outpatient specialists across multiple boarded disciplines — providing the collaboration, infrastructure, and independence you need to practice at the highest level.
Outpatient Specialty Is All We Do
In a veterinary landscape dominated by consolidators focused on general practice and emergency care, AOSN stands alone. We're the only network built exclusively around outpatient specialty medicine — which means every resource, every hire, and every decision is shaped by specialists, for specialists.
There's no competing with a GP clinic down the hall for attention or budget. Your specialty isn't a bolt-on. It's the entire mission.
We embrace a collaborative model where each group is dedicated to a single specialty, allowing our doctors to focus on their craft alongside like-minded colleagues with dedicated resources.

Four Pillars of Growth
AOSN's model has been proven with dermatology and is now being replicated across every specialty we enter.
Partnering with Existing Hospitals & Their Teams
We partner with established veterinary specialty hospitals and their teams, preserving their legacy and culture while providing the operational, financial, and strategic support they need to grow. Your team stays intact, we just make it stronger.
Recruiting Specialists Nationwide
We actively recruit top board-certified specialists across the country, offering clinical autonomy, competitive compensation, and a collaborative network where doctors thrive and build lasting careers.
Building New Hospitals in Underserved Markets
We identify communities that lack access to specialty veterinary care and build state-of-the-art outpatient hospitals from the ground up, purpose-built for the way specialists practice medicine.
Supporting Next-Gen Specialists Through Residency Programs
We invest in accredited residency programs, mentorship, and academic partnerships to train the next generation of veterinary specialists, growing the profession from within.

AOSN was founded on a simple conviction: outpatient veterinary specialists deserve a network designed entirely around their needs. Dermatology proved the model at scale — four decades of growth into over 130 board-certified dermatologists across 60+ locations, with nearly 100% doctor retention since 2022. That same specialist-led, outpatient-exclusive approach now powers eight specialties and counting.
