Full Time Emergency Veterinarian

National Veterinary Associates

Associate Veterinarian — High-Autonomy, Production-Driven Earning Potential
Eastview Veterinary Clinic | Clarksville, TN (45 min from Nashville)
Love ER or urgent care pace? Ready to get your nights, weekends, and holidays back?
Eastview Veterinary Clinic is a well-established (since 1973), high-volume, walk-in based practice near Nashville, TN, seeking a confident, driven Associate Veterinarian who wants the autonomy and case variety of urgent care — without the on-call schedule that comes with it.
Coming From ER or Urgent Care? Here's What Changes.
Our walk-in / urgent care / GP hybrid model was built for doctors who thrive on fast-paced, hands-on medicine but are done sacrificing their personal life for it:
No nights. No overnight emergencies. No on-call rotation.
Closed weekends — no Saturday or Sunday shifts, ever
No extended/late hours — predictable, consistent daily schedule
Still fast-paced and case-diverse — walk-in urgent care flow, real-time decision-making, and a full range of cases from wellness to surgery to same-day urgent visits
Production-driven earning potential — your speed and caseload translate directly to income, the same way it did in ER
You control your day — no overbooked schedule stacked against you; you see what comes at your own pace
A DVM team, not a solo shift — collaborate openly with fellow associates instead of carrying the caseload alone
If you're burned out on overnight shifts but not on the adrenaline of urgent care medicine, this model is designed for exactly that transition.
A Team That Supports You
We're intentionally structured so doctors can focus on medicine, not logistics:

  • Hospital Manager who keeps the day running and the team grounded
  • Managing DVM who leads by example, focused on strong patient outcomes
  • Associate DVMs who collaborate openly in a low-ego, case-discussion culture
  • Dedicated Veterinary Assistant assigned to each DVM
  • LVT who independently leads dental procedures
  • 3–4 CSRs supporting steady client flow and communication
  • Inventory Manager ensuring supplies are always on hand
  • Hospital Attendant keeping daily operations efficient

This is a team-driven operation, not a "figure it out yourself" clinic.
