Why MissionVet Specialty & Emergency?

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 patient care always comes first.

As our hospital continues to grow, we've made significant investments to enhance both patient care and the experience of our clinical team. We've separated Critical Care and inpatient management from our Emergency service, allowing our ER veterinarians to focus on evaluating, diagnosing, and treating emergency cases. We've also added telemetry monitoring, providing advanced continuous patient monitoring that supports exceptional care for our most critical patients.

Our specialty services include:

• Emergency & Critical Care
• Internal Medicine
• Neurology & Neurosurgery
• Surgery & Orthopedics

At MissionVet Specialty & Emergency, you'll have the opportunity to:

• Practice advanced emergency medicine alongside experienced specialists in a collaborative environment.

• Work with highly skilled technicians and support staff committed to outstanding medicine.
• Build lasting relationships with clients and referring veterinarians throughout South Texas.
• Join a culture that values mentorship, teamwork, compassion, and continuous professional growth.
