At Spelts and Masters Veterinary Clinic, great medicine starts with relationships—between our doctors and clients, within our team, and with the Albany community we've proudly served for years.

We're looking for an experienced Associate Veterinarian who wants the freedom to practice high-quality medicine, enjoys surgery, and values having an experienced team beside them. Here, you'll have the autonomy to make the clinical decisions you believe are right for your patients without feeling like you're practicing on an island.

Our primary focus is companion animal medicine, with interesting medical and surgical cases and a loyal client base that trusts our team with their pets' care. For a veterinarian interested in expanding beyond small animal medicine, there may also be opportunities to incorporate large animal cases based on your interests and the needs of the practice.

  • Clinical autonomy — Practice medicine with the freedom to use your experience and judgment
  • Established client relationships — Join a practice with a loyal, long-standing client base
  • Experienced team beside you — Work alongside knowledgeable doctors and skilled support staff
  • Medicine that stays interesting — See a variety of medical and surgical cases
  • Surgery opportunities — Continue using and developing your surgical skills
  • Modern tools and technology — The resources you need to provide high-quality care
  • Room to follow your interests — Potential opportunities to incorporate mixed animal medicine if that's where your interests take you
  • A team-first environment — Collaboration, communication, and support are part of how we practice

Essential Responsibilities

What Your Days Could Look Like

Life Feels a Little Easier Here

A great career should leave room for a great life outside of work, too. Albany offers the space and affordability of Southwest Georgia living, with less traffic, a welcoming community, and a pace that makes it easier to enjoy your time away from the hospital.

Explore the trails and natural beauty along the Flint River, spend a Saturday at Chehaw Park & Zoo, discover local restaurants and community events, or simply enjoy having a little more space to call your own.

And when you're ready for a change of scenery, Albany's location makes weekend getaways to the Gulf Coast, North Florida, Atlanta, and other Southeast destinations easy to plan.

With up to $25,000 in relocation assistance, we're ready to help make the move a little easier, too.

Heartland Veterinary Partners

About Heartland Veterinary Partners

Heartland Veterinary Partners is a support organization that is committed to improving the lives of veterinarians. We purchase veterinary practices and provide operational support to relieve administrative burdens such as payroll, recruiting, HR, marketing and accounts payables. If needed, we invest to support growth. The practices maintain their unique branding, culture and clinical autonomy.

At Heartland, we believe that selling a veterinary practice shouldn’t mean losing what makes it remarkable. When we acquire a practice, the doctor comes first. We listen closely to their needs in order to create a one-of-a-kind solution to ease their administrative burdens—all without disrupting their day-to-day operations, the culture they’ve fostered, and the relationships they’ve built. In other words, the name over the door doesn’t go away. The headaches of running a business do.

Partnering veterinarians appreciate an improved work-life balance, less financial worry, and the confidence that their teams will be in good hands. Best of all, they get to focus on why they entered the business in the first place: to care for animals and to be present when their clients need them most. Practice team members enjoy the warm culture of their individual community practices combined with the support and resources that Heartland brings to the table.

Improving the lives of veterinarians means supporting them at all stages of their careers. Whether you're a veterinary student or a new graduate looking for hands-on learning to begin your career or an experienced veterinarian looking to tackle management and leadership opportunities, we keep your goals at the heart of everything we do.

The Heartland Support Center team is hardwired to serve. We follow the philosophy of servant leadership and put the needs of others first with a genuine desire to help. As a result, Heartland’s practices count on team members to be there for them with heart and solution, not a corporate agenda.
