Job description

Associate Veterinarian – Full-Time or Part-Time

Privately Owned Practice | $115K Starting Base + 20% Production

Apple Tree Animal Clinic | Ranson, WV

Apple Tree Animal Clinic is looking for a full-time and/or part-time Associate Veterinarian to join our independently owned small-animal practice.

We are growing and expanding our availability to include later evening appointments and Saturday hours of approximately 4–6 hours. This is a growth position designed to increase access for our clients while maintaining a sustainable schedule for our team.

Why Apple Tree?

We are a privately owned practice, and that matters.

Our decisions are made locally by people who actually work in the hospital. Our veterinarians have a voice in how medicine is practiced, how workflows are structured, and how the practice continues to grow.

We are also a Veterinary Management Groups (VMG) member practice, reflecting our commitment to strong independent practice management, continued improvement, and long‑term sustainability.

Our staff is one of our greatest strengths. We have an efficient, motivated, experienced, and caring team that works hard to support our doctors and keep the day moving.

We value efficiency without sacrificing compassion, communication, or quality of care.

What You’ll Be Doing

Our associates enjoy the variety of general practice, including:

• Preventive and wellness care

• Sick and urgent‑care visits

• Internal medicine

• Dentistry

• Soft‑tissue surgery

• Digital radiography

• Ultrasound

• In‑house and reference laboratory diagnostics

• Chronic disease management

• Senior and quality‑of‑life care

Special interests are welcome, and we are happy to support veterinarians who want to grow in particular areas of medicine.

Compensation

Full-Time Starting Base: $115,000 + 20% Production

Our ProSal compensation structure provides the security of a guaranteed base while rewarding productivity.

• Starting guaranteed base salary: $115,000

• 20% production

• Base may be adjusted based on experience

For example, a veterinarian producing $700,000 annually would earn approximately $140,000 in annual compensation, with additional earning potential as production increases.

Part‑time compensation will be structured based on schedule and hours worked.

Full-Time Benefits

Full‑time associates receive:

• Medical insurance

• Dental insurance

• Vision insurance

• IRA retirement plan with employer match

• Paid time off

• ProSal compensation with 20% production

• Employee benefits and discounts

• Supportive, privately owned practice environment

• Opportunity to help shape the future of the practice

Schedule

We are open to both full-time and part-time candidates.

We are specifically looking to expand:

• Later afternoon/evening availability

• Saturday availability of approximately 4–6 hours

• Regular weekday coverage

For part‑time veterinarians, we are open to discussing:

• Fewer days per week

• Predictable weekly shifts

• Evening‑only availability

• Saturday‑only availability

• A combination that works well for both the veterinarian and the practice

This could be an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to remain in clinical medicine without committing to a traditional full‑time schedule.

Requirements

Applicants must:

• Hold a DVM or equivalent veterinary degree

• Be licensed or eligible for licensure in West Virginia

• Be eligible to obtain and maintain required state and federal prescribing credentials

• Provide compassionate, high‑quality patient care

• Communicate effectively with clients and coworkers

• Work well within a collaborative team

• Maintain accurate and timely medical records

• Be dependable, accountable, and professional

• Be willing to contribute to some evening and/or Saturday coverage

• Be motivated to develop and maintain a productive caseload while preserving appropriate standards of care

Preferred, But Not Required

• Small‑animal general practice experience

• Confidence with routine surgery and dentistry

• Interest in developing additional clinical skills

• Experience with ultrasound, dentistry, surgery, internal medicine, or other general‑practice procedures

Who Fits Well Here?

We would love to meet a veterinarian who is:

• Compassionate

• Practical

• Motivated

• Collaborative

• Comfortable communicating with clients

• Appreciative of a capable support staff

• Interested in practicing good medicine without a corporate playbook

You do not need to practice exactly like everyone else to fit here.

We want someone who cares about their patients, treats people well, takes ownership of their cases, and wants to be part of a team that is continuing to grow.

If you are looking for more autonomy, a strong support team, a flexible opportunity, or simply want to see what independent practice feels like, we would love to meet you.
