Job Description

Lake Area Animal Clinic in Buchanan Dam is a well-established, 2-DVM small animal practice located in the heart of the Texas Hill Country.

This is a rare mix: a slower-paced GP (10–15 appointments/day) with a strong support team, real mentorship, and—honestly—a lifestyle most clinics can’t compete with.

We’re closed on weekends, located right by the lake, and built for doctors who want to practice great medicine and have a life outside the clinic.

$25,000 Sign-On Bonus

Clinic Snapshot

• Practice Type: Small Animal GP
• Average Daily Patient Volume: 10–15 appointments/day
• Support Staff Ratio: Strong technician + CSR support
• Case Mix: Wellness, soft tissue surgery, dentistry, urgent care, internal medicine
• Technology: Digital X-ray, ultrasound, in-house lab, modern surgical/monitoring equipment
• Team Culture: Collaborative, mentorship-driven, and client-focused

Why This Role Stands Out

• Work-life balance actually exists: Closed weekends + manageable caseload
• Mentorship you can count on: Great fit for new grads or anyone wanting to grow in surgery
• Medical autonomy: Practice medicine your way with support when you need it
• Location: Lake life, Hill Country views, and still within reach of a city

Total Rewards & How We Invest in You

• Competitive base salary + production bonus
• DVM Long-Term Incentive (LTI) Cash Program (paid on top of production)
• No negative accrual
• Relocation assistance + sign-on bonus
• Generous CE allowance + paid licenses/dues
• Student loan support + tuition reimbursement
• Flexible scheduling + mentorship
• 401(k) with company match
• Full benefits including life and income protection

What You’ll Bring

• DVM/VMD (or equivalent), licensed or eligible in Texas
• Strong clinical foundation and interest in surgery
• Team-oriented mindset and good communication skills
• Passion for client education and relationship-building
