About Us

Acadiana Veterinary Surgery, LLC is a growing specialty surgery practice providing advanced surgical procedures to small animal patients directly within their primary veterinarian's hospital. By bringing specialized surgical care to familiar veterinary clinics, we help minimize stress for both patients and their owners while providing exceptional surgical outcomes.

We are currently operating as a mobile surgery service throughout the Acadiana region, including Lafayette, Alexandria, and Lake Charles. Our mobile model is anticipated to continue for approximately one year as we prepare for an exciting transition into a permanent brick-and-mortar specialty surgery and imaging facility.

This is a unique opportunity to join a rapidly growing specialty practice during a pivotal stage of growth and help shape the future of our team.

This position will evolve as the practice transitions into the brick-and-mortar facility next year.

The ideal candidate is proactive, highly organized, adaptable, and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment that changes from day to day. While veterinary technician licensure is welcome, it is not required. We are seeking someone with a desire to learn and participate in growth. Knowledge of building an online presence and managing social media is preferred. Hands-on veterinary experience is required. Experience in surgery and anesthesia is a plus.

Job Location

Ability to adapt to changing environments and schedules
Comfortable traveling between partner veterinary hospitals
Clean driving record and valid driver’s license
Must be able to lift and/or carry patients up to 50lbs

What We're Looking For
