Associate Veterinarian

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 About the Area Located near Marble Falls and Burnet, Buchanan Dam offers easy access to boating, hiking, and some of the best scenery in Texas.
