Job description

Senior Associate Veterinarian - University Veterinary Hospital | Shreveport, LA

University Veterinary Hospital is the only general and specialty practice in the entire Ark-La-Tex region, and we're looking for an experienced DVM ready to practice at the top of their license. This isn't an entry-level bench - you'll have first access to our most complex surgical and diagnostic cases, real autonomy in your caseload, and a full advanced toolkit most general practices can't offer. Founded in 2009 and AAHA-accredited, UVH has built a regional reputation for advanced, minimally invasive medicine.

The Role

• 5+ years of clinical experience required - this role is built for a doctor ready to work independently on advanced cases, not for someone still building fundamentals
• Full use of our surgical toolkit: laparoscopic spay/neuter, gastropexy, and endoscopy (bronchoscopy, cystoscopy, rhinoscopy) - take on advanced cases without needing to refer out
• Advanced orthopedics on-site - TTA, FHO, internal/external fixation, amputation - for doctors who want to keep complex surgery in-house
• Advanced dentistry including root canals, jaw fracture repair, and oral tumor removal
• Direct collaboration with our board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Michelle Woodward, and in-house referral access to oncology, orthopedics, and rehab - practice alongside specialists, not just refer to them
• Room to shape your own caseload and schedule as a senior doctor on the team, with a potential path toward greater practice leadership
• Fear Free Certified, Cat Friendly Practice, standard M-F hours (7am-6pm)

Compensation & Benefits

• $150,000-$200,000 base + production and sign-on bonus, DOE
• Equity through Suveto's Veterinary Stock Ownership Plan (VSOP)
• 401(k) with company match
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage
• Life and disability insurance
• Paid parental leave
