Why Join MissionVet Specialty & Emergency

At MissionVet Specialty & Emergency, you'll do more than practice-you'll grow, collaborate, and have the opportunity to build a rewarding career in emergency medicine alongside an experienced team of specialists and emergency clinicians.

Founded in partnership with Gulf Coast Veterinary Specialists in 2012, MissionVet Specialty & Emergency has become a trusted leader in emergency and specialty veterinary care throughout San Antonio and South Texas.

Our specialists and emergency clinicians work side-by-side every day, creating a highly collaborative environment where consultation is encouraged, learning never stops, and exceptional patient care always comes first.

As our hospital continues to grow, we've made significant investments to support our doctors and enhance patient care. We've separated Critical Care and inpatient management from our Emergency service, allowing our ER veterinarians to focus on evaluating, diagnosing, and treating incoming emergency cases. We've also added telemetry monitoring to provide advanced continuous monitoring for our most critical patients.

Our specialty services include Emergency & Critical Care, Internal Medicine, Neurology & Neurosurgery, and Surgery & Orthopedics.

As part of Ethos, your voice, growth, and expertise truly matter.

Location Highlight

San Antonio combines big-city amenities with Texas hospitality, offering an affordable cost of living, diverse neighborhoods, outstanding dining, vibrant culture, and year-round recreation. From the River Walk and professional sports to the nearby Texas Hill Country, Austin, and the Texas coast, there's no shortage of ways to enjoy your time outside the hospital.
