Harvester Animal Clinic | Watson Road Veterinary Clinic | Hampton Animal Hospital
St. Louis, Missouri

Harvester Animal Clinic, Watson Road Veterinary Clinic, and Hampton Animal Hospital are a small group of independently owned, well-established veterinary practices seeking an associate or partner veterinarian. Our practices have served their communities for more than 40 years and offer an exceptional opportunity to join a collaborative, highly skilled team in a supportive, privately owned environment.

The Opportunity

• Join a collegial team of 9 experienced veterinarians, supported by 9 licensed veterinary technicians and several board-eligible technicians.
• Work alongside doctors with advanced expertise in TPLO, fracture repair, advanced soft tissue surgery, dentistry, and ultrasound, including a University of Missouri valedictorian.
• Provide urgent care services with access to modern diagnostics and a full array of medical and surgical equipment.
• All practices are fully equipped with ultrasound and advanced surgical capabilities, including TPLO, fracture repair, splenectomy, entropion repair, resection and anastomosis, and wound management.
• Harvester Animal Clinic moved into a new, purpose-built facility in 2022 featuring low-stress design elements such as separate canine and feline wings, separate treatment areas, and abundant natural light. Similar upgrades are planned for our other hospitals.

\"We are a group of veterinarians and paraprofessional colleagues who believe that veterinary medicine is the noblest profession, a calling to care for those who cannot care for themselves.\" Dr. Tom Schwartz

About Our Practices

• Independently owned and operated for over four decades.
• Founders of Watson Road Veterinary Clinic and Hampton Animal Hospital remain actively involved.
• Hampton Animal Hospital has provided veterinary care for St. Louis City and Airport Dogs for more than 20 years.

Culture and Team Environment

• Emphasis on personalized, high-quality medicine and long-term client relationships.
• A team that enjoys spending time together outside of work - whether at TopGolf, running a inflatable obstacle course or sharing pizza at the beer garden in our neighborhood park.
• The practice provides excellent compensation and benefits which contributes to lower staff turnover and high morale.

\"Diversity is a natural consequence of our values.\"

Mentorship & Professional Development

• Experienced veterinarians will find opportunities to expand clinical skills and pursue leadership, management, and potential ownership pathways. All doctors are viewed as partners, and an equity program for key team members is in development.
