Job description

Join Our Team as a Veterinary Surgeon at Gulf Coast Veterinary Specialists – NASA Parkway

Gulf Coast Veterinary Specialists (GCVS) is seeking a board-certified or residency-trained Veterinary Surgeon to join our newly opened, state-of-the-art hospital in Webster, TX. This is an exciting opportunity to step into a growing surgical service within a hospital that is already operational and building strong referral relationships and caseload.

At GCVS, we’re committed to clinical excellence, innovation, and a highly collaborative approach to specialty care. We’re looking for a surgeon who is excited not just to practice, but to help shape and grow a service within a supportive, well-resourced environment.

About the Opportunity

Our NASA Parkway hospital is fully equipped with advanced technology, including CT, digital radiography, ultrasound, and more, supporting a wide range of soft tissue and orthopedic procedures. The 21,000 square foot hospital is supported by a dedicated 24/7 ICU and emergency service with advanced monitoring technology and high flow oxygen capabilities. Two oversized operating rooms equipped with modern Bovie and Ligasure devices as well as a mobile orthoscan C-arm are available.

You’ll work alongside an engaged team of Emergency clinicians, internists, and a boarded sports rehabilitationist providing services such as hydrotherapy, orthobiologics, nerve blocks and epidurals, and acupuncture with an eye on future modalities such as PEMF, cryocompression, and NMES/TENS. The addition of specialists in areas of critical care, radiology, and oncology is also under development. This collaborative environment supports efficient case management, strong perioperative care, and the ability to build a robust and diverse surgical caseload.

You’ll also benefit from close collaboration with the broader GCVS network, including access to 14+ specialties including anesthesia and a well-established referral base throughout the region.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Join a newly opened hospital with growing caseload and strong referral demand
• Opportunity to build and shape the Surgery service
• Work alongside a collaborative ER and specialty team
• Backed by the reputation and resources of GCVS

Opportunities for Growth

• Leadership opportunities for those interested in helping guide service development
• Ability to develop areas of clinical interest within surgery

Life in the Houston Area

Located in Webster, TX –just outside of Houston—you’ll enjoy the best of both worlds: a more relaxed, suburban feel with easy access to a major metropolitan area. From waterfront living near Clear Lake to quick trips to Galveston, plus world-class dining, sports, and entertainment in Houston, the area offers something for everyone—without the burden of state income tax.

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation package
• Long-term disability coverage
• Generous PTO and CE allowance
• 401(k) with employer contribution
• A collaborative, supportive, and inclusive culture

Ethos Veterinary Health, part of the NVA Group, is where you come to practice world-class medicine, and help shape what veterinary care becomes next.

Across our network of 140 specialty and emergency hospitals, science moves forward, standards are elevated, and innovation is put into practice every day. You’ll work alongside respected veterinary leaders in academic-caliber hospitals designed for learning, teaching, and discovery.

Here, mentorship is a two-way street. You’ll share your expertise, learn from others, and continue to grow, clinically, professionally, and personally.

At Ethos, you inspire hope, deliver exceptional care, and pursue veterinary medicine at its highest level, together.

Benefits for this role may include health insurance (medical, dental, vision), retirement benefits, paid time off (including sick leave and vacation), short-term and long-term disability, and life insurance.
