Job description

If you're looking for monotonous and predictable…

Keep looking.

If your dream career is discussing flea prevention eight hours a day…

This probably isn't your place.

If you'd rather perform surgery, work up a complicated cat medical case, pregnancy check cows, treat a backyard goat, fix a limping Labrador, and occasionally explain antibiotic withdrawal to owners of a chicken named Diva…

Welcome to Sinton Veterinary Clinic.

We're an independently owned, 2-doctor practice with approximately 80% small animal, 20% large animal, plus enough exotics to keep life interesting. We offer high-quality medicine and surgery to diverse clientele, laugh often, and believe veterinary medicine should challenge you—not consume your life. This position offers the opportunity to practice a broad scope of medicine while building lasting client relationships, leading an enthusiastic team, and help shape the future of animal health in a rural area.

This role is ideal for a veterinarian who enjoys variety, values teamwork, communicates with empathy and professionalism, and is committed to continual learning and excellence.

Our doctors have the tools and support they want:

• Electronic medical records with integrated AI
• Modern in-house laboratory with AI capabilities
• Electronic Digital radiography
• Digital dental radiography
• Ultrasound
• Tonometry
• Modern anesthesia and surgical equipment
• Zero-tolerance policy for abusive client behavior

Schedule

Monday-Thursday: 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Friday: 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM
Our appointment-based schedule also accommodates walk-ins and drop-offs to provide excellent service while maintaining an efficient workflow.

An after-hours triage service handles the vast majority of emergency calls, resulting in minimal after-hours responsibilities.

You’ll obviously have:

• Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM or equivalent)
• Eligibility for Texas veterinary licensure
• DEA registration (or ability to obtain)
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills
• Commitment to practicing high-quality medicine, surgery, and dentistry
• Ability to work collaboratively within a team and take ownership of your cases

You’ll thrive here if you:

• Enjoy leading and mentoring newer team members, externs, and shadows. We value learning and growth!
• Bring ideas to improve medicine, client experience, and business operations
• Take ownership of your cases and communicate with confidence and compassion
• Continually grow while helping shape the future

You’ll practice in a collaborative environment where your ideas are encouraged, your professional growth is expected, and your personal life is valued.

We're looking for a veterinarian who wants to practice great medicine, enjoy coming to work, laugh with an exceptional team, make a meaningful impact in our community, and still have a life when they go home.

If that sounds like your kind of practice, we'd love to meet you.

You're probably a great fit if you:

• Have always wanted a pink office with pom poms and wild hog taxidermy with eyelash extensions.
• Haven't thought twice about the concept that 'girls' can work cows.
• Love practicing high-quality medicine and will demonstrate the clinical judgement and pursue the skills necessary to do so.
• Can toss a bag of feed and carry a square bale.
• Want an Employee Fitness Plan that involves horse trotting and flexing, dog hip luxation reduction calisthenics, acrobatics to avoid spicy heifers, dog nail trim restraint yoga, and a complimentary sauna access from May to September.
• Enjoy variety. Actually, require variety! You can't imagine a life of nothing but flea control discussions, more flea control discussions, wait...what's that?!?...oh, never mind... it's another flea control discussion.
• Value teamwork over ego. Seriously, egos get checked at the door. If we're not here to help our patients and clients, what are we here for?
• Communicate honestly and respectfully. Prefer secrets and drama? Bye, Felisha!
• Want to keep learning and teaching. Because if you really think you know everything, Murphy will absolutely find you.
• Like building long-term client relationships. Animals don't come to the clinic by themselves. You like humans, and you want to help them with their critters.
• Believe work should be meaningful—but not your entire life. Just 21.42857143% of it, give or take.
