Associate Veterinarian opportunity at a high-end, privately owned small animal clinic in Sugar Land, TX - no weekends required!
Opened in 2024, this modern, thoughtfully designed small animal clinic has already established itself as a trusted name in the Sugar Land community, earning a strong reputation for high-quality, diagnostics-driven medicine and an exceptional standard of client care. Now entering its next phase of growth, the practice is looking to welcome an Associate Veterinarian to expand its clinical capacity and become a long-term part of the team.
The facility is well equipped to support a broad and engaging caseload, with top-tier anesthesia and a ventilator, dental radiography, ultrasound, laser therapy, a lift table, Tonopen, and full in-house diagnostics. Visiting specialists further elevate the level of care on offer, with a boarded surgeon available for complex surgical cases and a visiting ultrasonographer for abdominal ultrasound and echocardiograms.
The caseload spans roughly 60% dogs and 40% cats, with a higher than average proportion of senior and complex cases. They invest heavily in advanced diagnostics and follow-through care. The culture here is genuinely collaborative and curiosity-driven. The owner DVM encourages working cases up thoroughly rather than defaulting to referral, and both doctors and support staff take pride in seeing patients through together.
The clinic is ideally looking for a DVM on a full-time basis with a 3.5 to 4 day work week available, and clinic hours from 8:30am to 6:00pm. Saturday coverage is welcomed but entirely flexible, with 1 to 2 Saturdays per month being ideal though not required. For the right long-term candidate, there is a genuine pathway to partnership and buy in as the clinic continues to grow!
